Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this study, the author draws an intricate connection among the medieval romance character of Pacolet, a horse named after him and the Arabic folk tale collection of One Thousand and One Nights. The book begins by tracing Pacolets diverse origins and his differing portrayals in cultural history, placing him in the context of various literary and mythological traditions. The author then considers the presence of the archetypal horse from One Thousand and One Nights in folklore and medieval literature, highlighting themes of magic, trickery and betrayal. The book concludes with a comparative analysis of the three versions of the tale of the enchanted horse from One Thousand and One Nights, and the two medieval French romances based on the Arabic story. The text is thoroughly researched and provides valuable insights for any reader interested in the interconnections of medieval literature and folklore.
