Description: Paris,: Estienne Groulleau, pour luy, Iean Longis & Vincent Sertenas, 1557. 916) 223 lvs. W. woodcut device of V. Sertenas on ti. & 40 woodcuts in the text. Sm-8°. Later vellum w. overl. sides. First octavo edition of Book 10, with Groulleau's colophon, dated 1557, at the end, here in the Sertenas issue, with his device on title. Book 10 was translated by Jacques Gohory, with his motto "Envie d'Envie en Vie" on title, and at the end of the translator's preface together with his initials: I.G.P. - Vaganay, Les éditions in-octavo, pp. 40-42 (Groulleau-issue); Foulché-Delbosc 227 (idem); Brunet I, 215..This edition not in OCLC.. A landmark work among the chivalric romances which were in vogue in sixteenth-century Iberian Peninsula, although its first version, much revised before printing, was written at the onset of the 14th century. In Germany and England, Amadís was known chiefly through its French translations, sometimes much revised, and in England the cycle was generally referred to by its French title Amadis de Gaule. The French translations did not follow the Spanish book divisions exactly, and the entire cycle in the French version extends to 24 books. Note that the book numbers of the French translation do not always correspond to the book numbers of the Spanish originals, and in both languages, "book" is not the same as "printed volume"; physical printed books sometimes contained more than one "book" of the series. .
