"Lanzelet," one of the first known versions of the Lancelot
story, is a critical work in medieval literature. This Middle High
German romance is a rendering of a lost French tale of Lancelot
that likely predates Chr?tien de Troyes's famous "Lancelot or the
Knight of the Cart." Ulrich von Zatzikhoven obtained a copy of the
original book in 1194 and translated the work from French into
German. Kenneth G.T. Webster made the first English translation in
the 1930s, and Columbia University Press published it in 1951.
Following Webster's death, the famed Arthurian scholar Roger
Sherman Loomis made slight modifications to the text and expanded
Webster's notes. Thomas Kerth's new translation, prepared with the
highest accuracy and scholarly insight available to date, includes
a new introduction and revised bibliography, notes from both Loomis
and Webster, and a commentary reflecting the fifty years of
scholarship on "Lanzelet" since the publication of Webster's
translation.
