«Libro de Apolonio» is the anonymous medieval Spanish poem, edited by Carmen Monedero and published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
A 13th-century Castilian poem, ascribed to the mester de clerecía, which narrates the adventures of Apollonius, king of Tyre: a cultured and measured monarch whom an adverse fate subjects to shipwrecks, losses, and exiles; he endures the setbacks with stoic composure, and the story resolves with the happy ending characteristic of the Byzantine novel.
It is no. 157 in the Clásicos Castalia collection; the edition includes an introduction, critical apparatus, glossary, appendix, and indexes.
Recommended for students of medieval Spanish literature and for readers of classical poetry who want to discover an early work of the mester de clerecía.
