Dínus saga drambláta

[1] According to Kalinke and Mitchell, The saga recounts the various maneuvers of Dínus, the son of the king of Egypt, and Philotemia, daughter of Maximilianus of Africa, to outwit each other.

They have in common the idiosyncrasy of scorning the love of all members of the opposite sex.

By means of a magic apple each succeeds in arousing the passion of the other, however.

Before the two are finally joined in marriage, they encounter spells, shape-shifting, and various degradations imposed on one another.
