The Chronicles of Fernão Lopes ‒ finally in English!

Abstract

A “hidden gem” of European medieval historiography is now available in English. Fernão Lopes’s chronicles (c. 1380-c.1459) have remained relatively unknown to non-Portuguese speaking scholars until, at long last, a new edition has been published: LOPES, Fernão ‒ The Chronicles of Fernão Lopes. Eds. Amélia P. Hutchinson, Juliet Perkins, Philip Krummrich and Teresa Amado. Transl. R.C. Willis, Philip Krummrich, Juliet Perkins, Iona McCleery, Francisco Fernandes, and Shirley Clarke. Textos B, 64. Vols. I-V. Woodbridge: Tamesis Books, 2023.
