This Is A New Release Of The Original 1866 Edition.
This book is translated from the first volume of 'Perceval le
Gallois ou le conte du Graal'; edited by M. Ch. Potvin for La
Societe des Bibliophiles Belges' in 1866, from the MS. numbered
11,145 in the library of the Dukes of Burgundy at Brussels. This
MS. I find thus described in M. F. J. Marchal's catalogue of that
priceless collection: 'Le Roman de Saint Graal', beginning 'Ores
lestoires', in the French language; date, first third of the
sixteenth century; with ornamental capitals.' Written three
centuries later than the original romance, and full as it is of
faults of the scribe, this manuscript is by far the most complete
known copy of the 'Book of the Graal' in existence, being defective
only in Branch XXI. Titles 8 and 9, the substance of which is
fortunately preserved elsewhere. Large fragments, however,
amounting in all to nearly one-seventh of the whole, of a copy in
handwriting of the thirteenth century, are preserved in six
consecutive leaves and one detached leaf bound up with a number of
other works in a MS. numbered 113 in the City Library at Berne. The
volume is in folio on vellum closely written in three columns to
the page, and the seven leaves follow the last poem contained in
it, entitled 'Duremart le Gallois'. The manuscript is well known,
having been lent to M. de Sainte Palaye for use in the Monuments of
French History issued by the Benedictines of the Congregation of St
Maur. Selections from the poems it contains are given in Sinner's
'Extraits de Poesie du XIII. Siecle', and it is described,
unfortunately without any reference to these particular leaves, by
the same learned librarian in the 'Catalogus Codicum MSS. Bibl.
Bernensis', J.R. Sinner.
