Expert readings of the 'Walewein' especially commissioned and collected by BART BESAMUSCA and ERIK KOOPER of the University of Utrecht are provided by a group of renowned scholars contributing to the on-going critical appraisal of the 'Walewein'.KEITH BUSBY is George Lynn Cross Research Professor at the Center for Medieval and Renaissane Studies University of Oklahoma.
