Illustrated by Gustave Doré

Translated by Peter Anthony Motteux, and Sir

Thomas Urquhart

MASTER FRANCIS RABELAIS

FIVE BOOKS OF THE LIVES,

HEROIC DEEDS AND SAYINGS OF

GARGANTUA AND HIS SON PANTAGRUEL

BOOK I.

Translated into English by

Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromarty

and

Peter Antony Motteux

The text of the first Two Books of Rabelais has been reprinted

from the first edition (1653) of Urquhart’s translation.

Footnotes initialled ‘M.’ are drawn from the Maitland Club

edition (1838); other footnotes are by the translator. Urquhart’s

translation of Book III. appeared posthumously in 1693, with a

new edition of Books I. and II., under Motteux’s editorship.

Motteux’s rendering of Books IV. and V. followed in 1708.

Occasionally (as the footnotes indicate) passages omitted by

Motteux have been restored from the 1738 copy edited by

Ozell.
