Summary:

Here follows the first translation of the Historia Johannis, commonly called "The Hermit's Tale."


I knew I was going to love this story when I saw that it had a whole separate column for the footnotes. Actually, the library copies of the canon that I read were laid out like this as well, so maybe I just have a typographical type.
