Review
Ito's is a prose translation of the complete "Confessio Amantis," using Macaulay's edition. It is extensively annotated: approximately a third of the volume is devoted to explanatory notes, paying special attention to the needs of those Japanese readers and scholars whose knowledge of the history and socio-cultural norms of the European Middle Ages might require furbishing. It also contains a bibliography of relevant primary and secondary sources.[ RFY. Copyright. John Gower Society. eJGN 42.1]
