Historia destructionis Troiae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Historia destructionis Troiae ("History of the destruction of Troy") or Historia Troiana is a Latin prose narrative written by Guido delle Colonne, a Sicilian author, in the early 13th century. Its main source was the Old French verse romance by Benoît de Sainte-Maure, Roman de Troie.

In later centuries several translations of Guido's work appeared, in English, French, German and Italian:

  • John Lydgate, Troy Book, written in English around 1412-1420
  • The gest hystoriale of the destruction of Troy, in English
  • Jacques Milet, La destruction de la Troye, in French
  • Historische, warhaffte und eigentliche Beschreibung von der alten Statt Troia, in German, published at Basle, 1599
  • La storia della guerra di Troia, in Italian, published at Naples, 1665
