(This edition has some nice color illustrations along with its relatively newer translation.)
My additional motive for mentioning these other editions of Froissart's
Chronicles, aside from their intrinsic interest, is as follows. In the Introduction to the Penguin Classics edition Geoffrey Brereton observes that his edition is "a selection covering less than one-sixth of the total length of the
Chronicles" (page 27).
