This volume of "Mediæval Tales" is in four parts, containing severally, Turpin's "History of Charles the Great and Orlando," which is an old source of Charlemagne romance; Spanish Ballads, relating chiefly to the romance of Charlemagne, these being taken from the spirited translations of Spanish ballads published in 1823 by John Gibson Lockhart; a selection of stories from the "Gesta Romanorum;" and the old translation of the original story of Faustus, on which Marlowe founded his play, and which is the first source of the Faust legend in literature.
