Summary
The selection of romances and epics referring to Constantinople listed below is necessarily, for reasons of space and time, limited to the better-known works of the French Middle ages produced during the same period as the texts in my corpus. I have chosen not to list other texts in the Seven Sages cycle as these are not well known and have in any case been mentioned in passing in Chapter 5. However, I do mention Chrétien de troyes's Cligès below as it is justly famous and its treatment of Constantinople is complex and interesting. To give a flavour of the context in which the reference to Constantinople occurs, short extracts are quoted and translated. It is to be hoped that this Appendix will complement my study and spark off potential future research avenues in this area. Translations are my own unless otherwise indicated.
