Roman van Ferguut


The Roman van Ferguut is a 13th-century Arthurian romance written in what is now called Dutch language|Middle Dutch]. The first part of the Roman was translated fairly accurately from the Scottish French language work known as the Roman [de Fergus], but the second part, possibly the work of another author, was much more loosely derived. The Roman van Ferguut today has wide fame as a Dutch classic, certainly more fame than the Roman de Fergus possesses in either Scotland or France. The only manuscript of Ferguut is kept at Leiden [University Libraries]. A digital version is also available.
In 2000, it was translated into English by the American scholar David F Johnson.
