Garci RodrĂ­guez de Montalvo



Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo (or Garci Ordóñez de Montalvo) (died 1504) was a Spanish author who arranged the modern version of the chivalric romance Amadis of Gaul, written in three books in the 14th century by an unknown author. Montalvo added a fourth book of his own and also wrote a sequel, Las Sergas de Esplandián (The Exploits of Esplandian) (oldest known printing, 1510), in which he tells the life and wandering of Amadis' eldest son.
