Jurgen A Comedy of Justice - Classic Reprint Author:James Branch Cabell A Foreword: Which Asserts Notbing I N Continental periodicals not more than a dozen articles in all would seem to have given accounts or partial translations of the Jurgen legends. No thorough investigation of this epos can be said to have appeared in print, anywhere, prior to the publication, in 1913, of the monumental Synopses of Aryan Mytholo... more »gy by Angelo de Ruiz. It is unnecessary to observe that in this exhaustive digest Professor de Ruiz has given (VII, p. 415 et sequtntia) a summary of the greater part of these legends as contained in the col1ections of Verville and Biilg; and has discussed at length and with much learning the esoteric meaning of these folk-stories and their bearing upon questions to which the Hsolar theory" of myth explanation has given rise.
