ASTOLFO

ASTOLFO
   a knight-errant in mediæval legend who generous-heartedly is always to do greater feats than he can perform; in "Orlando Furioso" he brings back Orlando's lost wits in a phial from the moon, and possesses a horn that with a blast can discomfit armies.

The Nuttall Encyclopaedia. . 1907.
