       FIVE BOOKS OF THE LIVES, HEROIC DEEDS AND SAYINGS OF

       GARGANTUA AND HIS SON PANTAGRUEL

       Translated into English by

       Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromarty

       and

       Peter Antony Motteux

       The text of the first Two Books of Rabelais has been reprinted from the first edition (1653) of Urquhart's translation. Footnotes initialled 'M.'

       are drawn from the Maitland Club edition (1838); other footnotes are by the translator. Urquhart's translation of Book III. appeared posthumously in

       1693, with a new edition of Books I. and II., under Motteux's editorship. Motteux's rendering of Books IV. and V. followed in 1708. Occasionally (as

       the footnotes indicate) passages omitted by Motteux have been restored from

       the 1738 copy edited by Ozell.
