Abstract
The Latin narrative poem Asinarius (The Donkey Tale, ca. 1200) is one of the most fairytale-like texts to have come out of the High Middle Ages. Its story tells of a prince born in the shape of an ass who is educated as a proper nobleman, learns to play the lyre, leaves his home, and weds a foreign princess, and on his wedding night is revealed to be a handsome young man. This contribution will provide readers with the first English-verse translation of this engaging poem.
