Description: "This is an annotated edition and English translation of Jaume Roig's Spill, a vast, late 15th-century Iberian narrative poem composed in Valencian Catalan. The work is considered to be one of the most significant pieces of literature in that dialect, but it is usually overlooked because of the difficulties of the language despite it's serving as a major touchstone for knowledge of late medieval medicine (Roig was a physician), misogyny, Marian theology, and a huge array of cultural practices such as midwifery, wet nursing, marriage, and civil law."--P. 4 of cover.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.

Text in Catalan, with English translations, and introduction and commentaries in English.
