Amadis de Gaula es una obra maestra de la literatura fantastica en castellano y el mas famoso de los llamados libros de caballerias, que hicieron furor a lo largo del siglo XVI en Espana. A fines del siglo XV Garci Rodriguez de Montalvo preparo su version definitiva, cuya edicion mas antigua conocida es la de Zaragoza 1508, con el nombre de Los cuatro libros de Amadis de Gaula, pero se trata de una obra muy anterior, que ya existia en tres libros desde el siglo XIV, segun consta en obras del canciller Pero Lopez de Ayala y Pero Ferrus. Montalvo confiesa haber enmendado los tres primeros libros y ser el autor del cuarto. Todo indica que la version original de Amadis era portuguesa. Se ha atribuido a diversos autores: la Cronica portuguesa de Gomes Eanes de Azurara, escrita en 1454, menciona como su autor a a un tal Vasco de Lobeira que fue armado caballero en la batalla de Aljubarrota (1385). Otras fuentes dicen que el autor fue un tal Joao de Lobeira, y no el trovador Vasco de Lobeira.
Amadis de Gaula is one of the most famous books of Chivalry called masterpiece of fantasy literature in Castilian and made furor throughout the sixteenth century in Spain. In the late XV century Garci Rodriguez de Montalvo prepeared his final vesion, whose oldest edition known is that of Zaragoza 1508, with the name of the four books of Amadis de Gaula, but it is a much earlier work, that already existed in three books from the fourteenth century, as stated in works of chancelor Pero Lopez de Ayala and Pero Ferrus. Montalvo confesses to have amended the first three books and the author of the fourth. Everything indicates that the original version of Amadiswas Portuguese. It has been attributed to various authors: La Cronica portuguesa de Gomes Eanes de Azurara, written in 1454, mentions as the author Vasco de Lobeira who was knighted in the battle of Aljubarrota (1385). Other sources say that the author was a certain Joao de Lobeira and not the troubadour Vasco de Lobeira.
