«Libro de Apolonio» is the anonymous 13th-century medieval poem, edited by Manuel Alvar, published by Planeta in paperback (100 pages, in Spanish).
The poem follows King Apollonius of Tyre through a series of misfortunes that begin with his departure from Antioch. The plot, born from a story of Roman origin and enriched with Odyssean elements, moves toward the protagonist's reunion with his wife and daughter, and stands as a notable example of 13th-century Castilian poetry.
It belongs to the Clásicos Universales Planeta collection. The edition includes an introduction, edition, and notes by Manuel Alvar, a member of the Royal Spanish Academy.
For readers of medieval Spanish poetry and classics of Spanish literature.
Manuel Álvares was a Jesuit educator in Portugal. His Latin grammar, De institutione grammatica libri tres, is considered one of the worldwide most influential Latin grammars ever.
