Published in Paris by the editors of Amadis de Gaule, Le Premier Livre de l’histoire et ancienne cronique de Gerard d’Euphrate presents the reader with a mock-heroic cocktail of love-affairs, dramatic abductions, battles, witchcraft, and entanglements, and a mix of popular style, rhetorical bravado, and oriental exoticism.

Review - French Ce roman anonyme, restitue ici a Jean Maugin, est une innovation dans la fiction chevaleresque francaise. Si l'auteur l'attribue a Turpin et pretend traduire un ancien poeme wallon, en realite il refond un manuscrit inedit sur la rivalite entre Gerard et Charlemagne, qu'il etoffe de materiel original sur la jeunesse qui constitue ce premier et seul livre de la nouvelle geste sur cet anti-heros, rebelle outrecuidant contre la France. Il propose a ses lecteurs de 1549 un cocktail heroi-comique pimente d'amours, enlevements romanesques, combats, sorcellerie, entrelacements, style populaire, bravoure rhetorique et exotisme oriental. Publie a Paris chez les editeurs d'Amadis,Gerard d'Euphratecontinua a seduire lecteurs et bibliophiles jusqu'a la Revolution francaise, lorsqu'il fut transforme en roman troubadour.
