Geoffrey of Monmouth'sHistory of the Kings of Britain, written in Latin, is one of the earliest sources for many of the legends we now associate with King Arthur and his nights. What is little known, however, is that the tradition of Arthur stories in Latin extended well beyond Geoffrey. This collection offers essays that highlight different aspects of that broader Latin Arthurian tradition.
