This critical edition of William Caxton's translation of the Ovide moralisé seeks to renew interest in Caxton's text and to encourage study of it in its own right. It also serves as an entry point into the complex textual tradition of medieval Ovidian commentaries. An extensive introduction examines Caxton's method as a translator, his language, and the history of both the Ovide moralisé and Caxton's Magdalene College manuscript.
