Palmerín y sus libros: 500 años celebra los quinientos años de la primera publicación en 1511 del Palmerín de Olivia, obra paradigmática que, como un nuevo principio, dará origen a una nueva serie de novelas de caballerías, la de los Palmerines, la que "junto con los Amadises constituyen dos de los fenómenos más fascinantes de la literatura de aventuras y son el corazón del auge y esplendor de las caballerías del siglo XVI". Este volumen, doblemente arbitrado, reúne veinte trabajos de investigadores de México. Los trabajos van de las cuestiones centradas en el Palmerín de Olivia a las más generales y referidas a otros libros de caballerías, del ciclo de los Palmerines en primer lugar, y de otros libros y ciclos; además, se han incluido trabajos relativos a la materia de Bretaña y a la narrativa caballeresca breve. Palmerín y sus libros: 500 años es también un tributo a la universalidad de los libros de caballerías, a su magia, a sus aventuras de amor y muerte, y a esa forma específica de nuestra nostalgia, que es la necesidad de conocernos y comprendernos en aquellos viejos y actuales libros de aventuras.

Craig Taylor's study examines the wide-ranging French debates on the martial ideals of chivalry and knighthood during the period of the Hundred Years War (1337-1453). Faced by stunning military disasters and the collapse of public order, writers and intellectuals carefully scrutinized the martial qualities expected of knights and soldiers. They questioned when knights and men-at-arms could legitimately resort to violence, the true nature of courage, the importance of mercy, and the role of books and scholarly learning in the very practical world of military men. Contributors to these discussions included some of the most famous French medieval writers, led by Jean Froissart, Geoffroi de Charny, Philippe de Mézières, Honorat Bovet, Christine de Pizan, Alain Chartier and Antoine de La Sale. This interdisciplinary study sets their discussions in context, challenging modern, romantic assumptions about chivalry and investigating the historical reality of debates about knighthood and warfare in late medieval France.
