THE PROPHECIES OF MERLIN: A Chronicle of Forgotten Prophecies, Including a First English Translation, with extended commentary, of The Prophecies of Merlin from 1498, by Maarten Haverkamp, and John Matthews. Foreword by R.J. Stewart. Inner Traditions.  Discovering a hitherto lost or forgotten book about Merlin and King Arthur is a rare event these days. Yet here we present a previously almost unknown and completely untranslated book, which includes much that is new – and exciting – about the legendary king and his magical advisor.  It enables us to hear again the authentic voice of Merlin from long ago. First collected by an unknown monk living in Venice in the 13th century, and published as incunabula in Venice in 1498, this translation gives us a Merlin whom we have never before heard, since it is his voice that speaks.
