[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Catalogue of Romances in the Department of Manuscripts in the British Museum, Vol. 3 The first two volumes of this Catalogue of Romances, issued in 1883 and 1893 respectively, were compiled by the late Mr. H. L. D. Ward. In the final revision of Vol. II. he was assisted by Mr. J. A. Herbert, who is now solely responsible for Vol. III., though in many cases he has been able to make use of Mr. Ward's preparatory notes. This volume includes no separate romances of any length, such as are to be found in its predecessors, but deals with the popular collections of Exempla, or short stories used for illustration by mediaeval preachers, and of similar tales, moralized or otherwise, both in prose and verse. Among them are the well-known works of Jacques de Vitry, Odo of Cheriton, Etienne de Bourbon and Robert Holcot, the Gesta Romanorum, William of Waddington's Manuel des Péchés, Robert Manning's Handlyng Synne and the Dialogus Miraculorum of Caesarius of Heisterbach. A fourth volume, completing the Catalogue, will include Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and their precursors in Boccaccio's Decameron and elsewhere, and romances by Petrarch, Aeneas Sylvius and others, together with an Appendix containing Mss. acquired since the publication of the previous volumes or inadvertently omitted from them. A General Index to all four volumes will also be added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
