Romuleon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Romuleon was a Latin work describing the history of Rome, compiled by Benvenuto da Imola in the mid-fourteenth century from a number of earlier texts.

It was later translated into French by two separate writers:

A second Latin version was produced by Adamo Montaldo in the 1490s.[2]

Mamerot's translation was published in a modern edition in 2000.[3]
