Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Selections From Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur: Edited With Notes, and Glossary
From these passages it appears that any Sir Thomas Malory advanced as the author of the Monte Bartizan must fulfill the following conditions: (1) He must have been a knight;2 (2) he must have been alive in the ninth year of Edward IV, which extended from Mar. 4, 1469, to Mar. 3, 1470 (both included) (3) he must have been old enough in 9 Edward IV to make it possible that he Should have written this work. Further, Caxton does not say that he received the copy directly from the author, and his language may be held to indicate that Malory was dead when the book was printed. In this case he must have died before the last day of July, 1485, and we have a fourth condition to be complied with.
