G'day Tjoebaxter, Thanks for your question. No-one agrees exactly but the most likely candidate is Don Quixote. According to Wikipedia "Early examples of prose novels include The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu in the 11th century, Philosophus Autodidactus by Ibn Tufail in the 12th century, Theologus Autodidactus by Ibn al-Nafis in the 13th century, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong in the 14th century." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelist According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms "Although some ancient prose narratives like Petronius' Satyricon (1st century CE) can be called novels, and although some significant forerunners of the novel—including François Rabelais's Gargantua (1534)—appeared in the 16th century, it is the publication in Spain of the first part of Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote de la Mancha in 1605 that is most widely accepted as announcing the arrival of the true novel." http://www.answers.com/novel Regards
