Jacques Amyot’s translation contributed just as much to the rediscovery and success of this ancient Greek novel throughout sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe as it did to the genesis of the modern novel. This first scholarly edition sheds light on the work of this erudite humanist as well as the influence of his translations on his contemporaries.
