Henry Morley 
Mediaeval Tales [EPUB ebook] 

This volume of ‘Mediæval Tales’ is in four parts, containing severally, Turpin’s ‘History of Charles the Great and Orlando, ‘ which is an old source of Charlemagne romance; Spanish Ballads, relating chiefly to the romance of Charlemagne, these being taken from the spirited translations of Spanish ballads published in 1823 by John Gibson Lockhart; a selection of stories from the ‘Gesta Romanorum;’ and the old translation of the original story of Faustus, on which Marlowe founded his play, and which is the first source of the Faust legend in literature.
