Ana Sofia Guimarães, a University of Freiburg graduate student who served as a journal manager for New Chaucer Studies: Pedagogy and Profession in 2023, alerted us to this new translation of The Canterbury Tales. Published in 2021, it features illustrations and layouts based on Edward Burne-Jones’s nineteenth-century woodcuts.

Just turning through Contos de Cantuária is a pleasure, and I look forward to working with Portuguese readers–and maybe even Daniel Jonas, himself–as we think about this new addition to Chaucer’s non-Anglophone translations.
