The Song of Roland is an epic poem that tells the story of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass in 778 AD. The poem is believed to have been written in the 11th century by an anonymous author. It tells the story of Roland, a legendary knight in the service of Charlemagne, who leads the rear guard of the Frankish army as they retreat from a campaign in Spain. The rear guard is ambushed by a Muslim army, and Roland and his companions fight bravely to their deaths. The poem is a celebration of chivalry and the Christian faith, and it has been an important part of French and European literature for centuries. The Song of Roland is also notable for its portrayal of the relationship between Charlemagne and his vassals, and for its depiction of the conflict between Christianity and Islam.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
