About This Book

Il saggio ricostruisce le diverse tradizioni medievali intorno a Saladino, concentrandosi sulla circolazione francese della leggenda e confrontando poemi, cronache e romanzi. Rileva la convivenza di racconti ostili che attribuiscono inganni, omicidi e origini umili e versioni più favorevoli diffuse fra cristiani, ed espone motivi ricorrenti come l'usurpazione, la furbizia usata per conquistare l'Egitto, il matrimonio che trasferisce il potere e le profezie legate al cavallo predestinato. Commenta inoltre le trasformazioni testuali e le possibili cause culturali di queste varianti.
