1874. This book contains Volumes I and II of IV. Lovelich's work is
from the French prose (AB. 1180-1200 AD) of Sires Robiers De
Borron. The legend of the Holy Grail is one of the most enduring in
Western European literature and art. The Grail was said to be the
cup of the Last Supper and at the Crucifixion to have received
blood flowing from Christ's side. It was brought to Britain by
Joseph of Arimathea, where it lay hidden for centuries. The search
for the vessel became the principal quest of the knights of King
Arthur. It was believed to be kept in a mysterious castle
surrounded by a wasteland and guarded by a custodian called the
Fisher King, who suffered from a wound that would not heal. His
recovery and the renewal of the blighted lands depended upon the
successful completion of the quest. Equally, the self-realisation
of the questing knight was assured by finding the Grail. The
magical properties attributed to the Holy Grail have been plausibly
traced to the magic vessels of Celtic myth that satisfied the
tastes and needs of all who ate and drank from them. See other
