Overview
The epic Song of The Cid appears here in an authoritative edition by the renowned Cidian scholar Alberto Montaner. The Carmen Campidoctoris, probably written while the Cid was still alive, appears in both Latin and Spanish original languages. The Romances viejos of the Cid provide yet another dimension to the Cid's heroic myth-and the times in which it was created. Created by renowned Spanish scholars and an award-winning American poet, these Songs of the Cid are a landmark event in Hispanic literary studies. A must-have for every college and university collection!Alberto Montaner Frutos (Zaragoza, 1963), a Hispanic and Arabist philologist, historian and poet, specializes in Cidian studies, both historical and literary.

He is Professor of Latin Philology in the Department of Ancient Sciences, University of Zaragoza.Dan Veach, the founding editor of Atlanta Review, one of the leading international poetry journals, has been honored with the Willis Barnstone Translation Prize.
