Not me! smile

In that case, I highly recommend the Barbara Reynolds translation of Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso" (it comes in two parts).

Furioso is a continuation of Boiardo's "Orlando Innamorato". Both are excellent, but I fell in love (no pun intended) with Furioso first.

I'll definitely look into that. Short of learning Italian, an accurate translation is the next best thing.

What is to give light must endure burning.
