"This alliterative poem, written in the late fifteenth century by an unknown Scotsman, tells how a charcoal-burner Rauf and his wife Gyll or Gyliane entertained Charlemagne unawares. It survives in a single copy of a quarto printed by Robert Lekpreuik at St. Andrews in 1572, now in the National Library of Scotland"--Bibliographical note, p. iii
