Re: Anelida and Arcite

Thank you so much for this. I wonder how one would get Anelida from Laudine.

I wish I could tell you for sure but my guess is something to do with the translation of the text. The original story of Yvain was written in French in the 12th century. There's a Middle English translation of the original in which Laudine is known as Alundyne, so I'm assuming that somehow, for whatever reason, it became Anelida in Italian. But like I said, that's just my guess.
