Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Perceval of Galles: A Study of the Sources of the Legend In making this investigation, many obstacles besides the scantiness of time allowed by classroom duties have had to be overcome. The University of Texas library is not a large one, and, in the field immediately concerned, is weak. Access to needed books has been had only in summer vacations and in libraries a thousand miles and more away from Austin. The difficulty continues a very present one. In seeing the book through the press, I have not been able to verify references by a comparison with original authorities, but have had to rely upon my manuscript notes. To hope that no errors have crept in is unreasonable; but I trust the reader will find them few, and will believe that I have made a painstaking endeavor to avoid them. In seeking the origins of the Perceval tale, I have circumscribed the interpretation of "origins." It is the immediate ancestry, not the ultimate source, that has here been sought. I have made no inquiry into Old Irish literature in the expectation of pointing out its parallels to the Perceval tale, if such there be; nor any into folklore domains in the hope of tracing the tale or its elements to an origin in custom, myth, or religion. Finally, the Grail problem lies outside the limits of this investigation, since no allusion to the Grail occurs in the English poem which is taken as the point of departure. In several ways this study is incomplete, as perhaps any study of its kind must be. The number of tales discussed is large, for I have mentioned every tale I have found that appears to throw light on the origin of the tale of Perceval as it is told in Sir Perceval of Galles; but the collection makes no pretense to finality. There are doubtless many variants now unknown to me. If the reader will indicate any such, I shall feel much beholden to him.

This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... coutel ne vit hon tel que Dieu le fist non pas nature au manche avoit ceste escripture " In honore Sancte et individue Trinitatis."' He then ascended into heaven, leaving the impression of his foot on the stone. From that day onward, under the fostering care of the Dukes of Normandy, the abbey increased in wealth and prosperity. The poet concludes the legend with these words: 'je ay rudement dicte 1'ystoire mes fermement la devon croire que saintes gens 1'ont approuvee et miracles 1'ont confermee devant le sanc donc merchi crie tu qui ceu lis, et pour moy prie.' In the foregoing account there is one omission: the writer did not know what was the second relic enclosed in the fig-tree. From the Latin versions we learn that the blood which had dried on the wounds of Our Lord was removed by means of a knife: ' In ipsa tamen depositione Nichodemus ille qui, teste Evangelic, venerat ad Jhesum nocte, non minima accensus dilectione, sanguinem veri prophete Jhesu circa vulnera pedum et manuum et lateris refrigeratum suo abrasit cultello et in sua reposuit ciro-teca.'1 It was this knife which was concealed in the second tube placed in the fig-tree. The raison d'etre of the second knife, that brought by the angel, is not very clear. I am inclined to think it may have arisen from the details concerning the preservation of the first having dropped out of the story, while the writer was well aware of the fact that it existed side by side with the Saint Sang at Fescamp. Now to what date should this tradition be assigned? If we set on one side as legendary the miraculous introduction to the story recounting the various foundations of the present Abbey, there is solid historical evidence for the tradition of its foundation in its present form under...
Download or read book Sir Perceval of Galles and Ywain and Gawain written by Mary Flowers Braswell and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the only known English version of Chretien de Troyes's romance of the naive knight Perceval, Sir Perceval of Galles. The work uses Perceval's ridiculous behavior as a late medieval satire of courtliness. Accompanying this tale is Ywain and Gawain, a translation of a second Chretien poem, Le Chevalier au Lion. Unlike Sir Perceval, this poem extols the virtues of chivalry and honor. These complementary works form an excellent introduction to Middle English Arthurian romance, as they include editing, glosses, introductions, and a very helpful glossary for beginning students.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legend of Sir Perceval, Vol. 2: Studies Upon Its Origin, Development, and Position, in the Arthurian Cycle In presenting this second volume of my Perceval Studies to my readers I feel that a few words of explanation as to the quite unexpected development of the subject are necessary. When I formed the project of editing the Modena Perceval it was with the underlying impression that, though the publication of the text was necessary in the interests of the criticism of the Perceval literature, yet that it was unlikely to furnish material for either a long or particularly interesting study. It is always the unexpected that happens: before I had been long at work I recognised that we had here most important evidence as to the nature of the sources utilised, evidence which threw an entirely new light on the question of the Borron authorship.

Download or read book The Apple of His Eye written by William Chester Jordan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thirteenth century brought new urgency to Catholic efforts to convert non-Christians, and no Catholic ruler was more dedicated to this undertaking than King Louis IX of France. His military expeditions against Islam are well documented, but there was also a peaceful side to his encounter with the Muslim world, one that has received little attention until now. This splendid book shines new light on the king’s program to induce Muslims—the “apple of his eye”—to voluntarily convert to Christianity and resettle in France. It recovers a forgotten but important episode in the history of the Crusades while providing a rare window into the fraught experiences of the converts themselves. William Chester Jordan transforms our understanding of medieval Christian-Muslim relations by telling the stories of the Muslims who came to France to live as Christians. Under what circumstances did they willingly convert? How successfully did they assimilate into French society? What forms of resistance did they employ? In examining questions like these, Jordan weaves a richly detailed portrait of a dazzling yet violent age whose lessons still resonate today. Until now, scholars have dismissed historical accounts of the king’s peaceful conversion of Muslims as hagiographical and therefore untrustworthy. Jordan takes these narratives seriously—and uncovers archival evidence to back them up. He brings his findings marvelously to life in this succinct and compelling book, setting them in the context of the Seventh Crusade and the universalizing Catholic impulse to convert the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tenth volume of Arthurian Literature continues some ofthe themes of earlier issues, as well as exploring unfamiliar andcontroversial ground. The second part of CHRISTINE POULSON's survey of the Arthurian legend in 19th-century art is an analysisby subject of the works catalogued by artist in Arthurian Literature IX. A. H. W. SMITH provides a substantial update to MaryWildman's bibliography of modern Arthurian literature which appearedin Arthurian Literature II, adding not only recent works butalso many items missing from the earlier list. Mr Smith also contributesan article on Ponticus Virumnius and the text of Gildas, one of themore intriguing mysteries of Arthurian text history, and sets outVirumnius' claim to have seen a poem by Gildas which has since disappeared. ARMEL DIVERRES writes on the origins of Chretien de Troyes'Conte del Graal; he argues that we should seek the poet's inspiration in the crusading activities of Philip of Flanders, supporting his case with a careful examination of many otherwise difficult passages in the poem.
