Chronicle of the Cid: From the Spanish (1846) is a historical book written by Robert Southey. The book is a translation of the medieval Spanish epic poem El Cantar de Mio Cid which tells the story of the legendary Spanish hero, Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, also known as El Cid. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of El Cid's life. The first part of the book tells the story of El Cid's exile from Castile and his subsequent battles against the Moors in Valencia. The second part of the book focuses on El Cid's political and military achievements as he establishes himself as a powerful ruler in Valencia. The final part of the book recounts El Cid's death and the legacy he left behind.The book provides a detailed and vivid account of the life and times of El Cid, a legendary figure in Spanish history and folklore. Southey's translation captures the spirit and essence of the original poem, bringing to life the heroic deeds and adventures of El Cid. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in medieval history, epic poetry, or the legendary figure of El Cid.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
