Book Reviews of Chronicles of the Crusades (Dover Value Editions)
Book Review: Very readable translation - recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this translation of Joinville and Villehardouin.
The translator has taken care to translate these works into lucid, contemporary language without dumbing down the writing. Her work has paid off, providing a readable and lively edition still suitable for scholarly review.
Whether you are reading these for enjoyment, personal interest, or academic reasons, this translation is a good one.
