A part of the romance is now published for the first time in an edition based on P, with variants from L and Ph. The text is followed by notes, a glossary and an index of proper names.

The introduction deals with linguistic matters in a phonetic, morphological and syntactical perspective, and offers a description of the language in the manuscript P. The versification is also treated. The second part deals with the literary and historical contents of Theseus de Cologne in a literary perspective. By studying the characteristic stereotyped writing in mediaeval literature, it appears that some recurring motives in the romance offer an interesting illustration of a thematic change in the epic genre.
