Oltre la mer salee: Proceedings of the 21st International Congress of the Société Rencesvals pour l’étude des épopées romanes, Toronto, 13–17 August 2018. Edited by Dorothea Kullmann and Anthony Fredette. May 2022. Studies and Texts 227; Toronto Studies in Romance Philology 4 • xii, 422 pp. Essays in French, English, Italian, and Spanish. Oltre la mer salee collects revised versions of twenty-eight papers in English, French, Italian, and Spanish originally presented at the 21st International Congress of the Société Rencesvals pour l’étude des épopées romanes, held in August 2018 in Toronto. Specialists in the field of medieval Romance epic reconsider traditional approaches and present novel research perspectives. Their studies are divided among four major themes: family relations, manuscripts, French epic in England, and travel and exchanges.

Boydell and Brewer’s imprint, Bristol Studies in Medieval Cultures, is printing a series of “Charlemagne in…” volumes. For the volumes actually out, see Bristol Studies in Medieval Cultures (Charlemagne in English, German and Dutch, Spanish, Latin traditions); the Italian one should be out next spring, and the Norse and Celtic one sooner. The French volume is still being written.
