'The unique manuscript of Flamenca is incomplete. ...we have no knowledge of the author or of the date of composition. The latter has been placed approximately in the first half of the thirteenth century. At that time the splendour of the little courts south of the Loire had waned; but the poet shows us the largeness and liberality that had reigned there, while his lightness of tone reflects that relaxing of the old restraints... Love was the one real religion of the upper classes, and the code of lovers... constituted the sole effective morality. Flamenca and Guillem are characteristic products of this system... Both regard themselves as accomplishing a sacred duty in going directly... to the goal of their desire. ...Yet... Flamenca never forgets that if, in a sense, she is playing a game, it is a game the stake of which is death.' Stock#38784.

It was afterwards revised throughout by a careful collation with the Ellesmere, Hengwrt, and Corpus MSS. ... The present text, as revised in 1888, is entirely new, having been reprinted throughout. The differences thus introduced... are, in fact, due to taking the Ellesmere MS. as the basis of the text, instead of the Harleian MS. ...the result is more satisfactory from a phonetic point of view, as the spelling in the Ellesmere MS. is remarkable for clearness and intelligibility, and is fairly uniform in character.'
