Abstract
This essay presents an edited text of a previously unknown and apparently unpublished early modern prose romance, surviving in three fragments in manuscript in the papers of the Jervoise family of Herriard, now on deposit in Hampshire Record Office (HRO). An introduction to the three surviving sections of the text offers an account of the manuscripts in which the romance now survives, the status of its text, and the literary-historical contexts within which it might be understood. One image illustrates the hand in which the manuscript is transcribed. A semi-diplomatic transcription of the romance fragments follows this introduction, from their unique source, HRO 44M69/M4/13/3-5. [T. L.]
