THE BOOK OF TALES BY ABC - JOHN E KELLER L CLAR...

Short stories in the Middle Ages known as exempla (moralized tales) have entertained and
instructed Spaniards and others from the Middle Ages until today. The Libro de los enxienplos
por a.b.c. (Book of Tales by A.B.C.)  the richest collection of prose tales  numbering more
than 500  was the creation of the fifteenth-century Archdeacon  Clemente Sánches. Some stories
he translated almost literally  others he retold in his own words as he read ancient and
medieval documents  some of which are lost in their original form  and some he recast from the
oral literature of the folk - all in excellent style. Many of his stories are among the best
tales ever told in world literature.
