| Back | It appeared to me to be a thing impossible and contrary to all precedent that so good a knight should have been without some sage to undertake the task of writing his marvellous achievements; a thing that was never wanting to any of those knights-errant who, they say, went after adventures; for every one of them had one or two sages as if made on purpose, who not only recorded their deeds but described their most trifling thoughts and follies, however secret they might be; and such a good knight could not have been so unfortunate as not to have what Platir and others like him had in abundance. |

| Front | Parecióme cosa imposible y fuera de toda buena costumbre que a tan buen caballero le hubiese faltado algún sabio que tomara a cargo el escrebir sus nunca vistas hazañas, cosa que no faltó a ninguno de los caballeros andantes, de los que dicen las gentes que van a sus aventuras, porque cada uno dellos tenía uno o dos sabios, como de molde, que no solamente escribían sus hechos, sino que pintaban sus más mínimos pensamientos y niñerías, por más escondidas que fuesen; y no había de ser tan desdichado tan buen caballero, que le faltase a él lo que sobró a Platir y a otros semejantes. |
