I owe an even greater debt to my tutor at K ing’s, Dr. H. H. K . Thoma, from whom I acquired what knowledge of Middle High German I may possess. I wish to thank M r. John L . Flood, also of K ing’s, who devoted much time to reading this work at an earlier stage and prevented several errors, and Professor P. B. Salmon of the University of Edinburgh, who kindly put his Middle Dutch material at my disposal. M y thanks are also due to my col­ leagues at University College, Cardiff, for much encouragement and many useful suggestions, especially to Mr. William B. Sullivan of the Department of French, who helped me with the Anglo-Norman Romance o f Horn, and to Professor Henry Loyn of the Department of History for reading the manu­ script. I am grateful to the staff of the library at University College, Cardiff, for their unfailing help and courtesy in obtaining the various books I required. Through the patience of the Clarendon Press editorial staff and the helpful suggestions of its advisers the book has been greatly improved for the reader and the bibliography made more manageable. M y task would never have been completed without the constant encourage­ ment and support of my wife, who has, indeed, shown the devotion of Kûdrûn. G. T . G. Cardiff ig y i Vil
