WORKS OF ARISTOTLE, translated and illustrated with copious Elucidations. By Thomas Taylor, 10 v. 1806-12. 'In the history of Western civilization there is no example of any other philosopher having exerted so great an influence on the minds of men as Aristotle'. 'A. dominated the thinking of the Middle Ages' (Schoolmen). Puttenham's 'Art of English Poesie', Sidney's 'Defence of Poesie', and Dryden's 'Of Dramatic Poesie', all influenced by A. =ARRIAN.= _b._ 146, _d._ 170. =Greek historian.= ARRIAN'S HISTORY OF ALEXANDER'S EXPEDITION....

A Book of the Noble Hystoryes of Kynge Arthur, and of Certeyn of his knyghtes, reduced into Englysshe by Syr Thomas Malory, Kynght and by me William Caxton. 1485. Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King' and Arnold's 'Tristram and Iseult' are taken from the above legends. (Also noticed under Anglo-Saxon collections.) 'In 1155 the Jersey Norman, Robert Wace, converts and amplifies Geoffrey's work into the French romance "Brut d'Engleterre" or "Geste des Bretons", introducing for the first time the Table Round. This again is developed in English verse by Layamon in his "Brut" of 1205. From various sources and by various hands, the Arthurian legends are increased. Milton for a time was strongly attached to this subject, and in his "Epitaphium Damonis" he shows the hold which the Arthurian legends had taken upon him, and he explicitly proposed to make Arthur and the British knights the subject of an epic'. =ARTHUR. 14th century.= _Ed._ Furnivall, E.E.T.S., 1864. =ARTHUR OF LITTLE BRITAIN.= THE HYSTORY OF ARTHUR OF LYTELL BRYTAYNE, translated out of Frensshe in to Englishe, by the noble Johan Bourghcher, Knyght, Lord Berners. 1493. Not the Arthurian legend, but irresponsible adventures like the Amadis. Said to have had a great influence on Spenser's Faerie Queene. Arthur and Charlemagne are among the first and original heroes of romance, in whose chronicles are displayed the characters, the leading subjects, and the fundamental fictions which have supplied such ample matter to this form of composition. 'As Geoffrey's history is the grand repository of the acts of Arthur, so a fabulous history, ascribed to Archbishop Turpin, is the groundwork of all the legends told of the conquest of Charlemagne and his twelve peers'. =AUCASSIN AND NICOLETTE=, a love story, edited in old French and rendered in modern English ... by F. W. Bourdillon. _Fr. and Eng._ 1887. =AUCASSIN AND NICOLETTE=: done into English by A. Lang, 1887.
