Reseña del editor:

Paradiso degli A lherti, a work cut of Chaucer sown period, that the Parlement should be regarded as a poetical and highly sophisticated version of the folk-tale. But the curious and interesting features ofT he Contending Lovers will support a self-sufficient study in folk-lore, and such a study is primarily the aim of the following pages. The Parlement will occasionally be admitted to the discussion, especially in conclusion, since relationship to Chaucer necessarily gives the folktale itself an enhanced interest, but only casual arguments will be made for this relationship. The material, now studied in detail, is meant to form its own argument. The similarities between the Parlement and Giovanni da Prato stale of the founding of Prato in II Paradiso degli Alberti have already been sufficiently exploited. Moreover, both Chaucer andO iovanni tell such sophisticated elaborations that a neglect to discuss them systematically in this study of the simpler folk versions does small violence to good order. Publications of theM odem Language A ssociation, ,pp. 495 flf. Much material has become avaU able since Benfey sA usland essay (see note 1) and Wesselofsky snotesi to the tale of the founding of Prato {II Paradiso degli A lberti, Bologna, 1867, i, ii, pp. 238 ff.). Valuable as both works are, no attempt is made by either of these scholars to distinguish or study types, and Benfey confines his study largely to one type. In addition to these two treatments there are convenient collections of notes or scattered presentations of material inC louston, Popular Tales amdF ictions, 1887,i, pp. 277 ff.; DA ncona, Btudj di Critica eS toria Letteraria, Bologna, 1912, revised and enlarged edition, n, pp. 160 ff.; Kdhler, Klevnere Schriften, i, pp. 438ff.; Chauvin, Bibliographic des Ouvrages A rabes, 1892-1909, vi, p. 133, note 3, and vra, p. 76; Basset, Revue desT raditions
