Torrent description

Originally written in Old French, sometime in the early
half of the 13th Century A.D., as a continuation of Chretien
DeTroyes’ unfinished work Perceval, or the Knight of the Grail.
Author unknown. Translation by Sebastian Evans, 1898.

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 1866,1 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.’2 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,3 and it is described, unfortunately with
out any reference to these particular leaves, by the same
learned librarian in the “Catalogus Codicum MSS. Bibl.
Bernensis”, J.R. Sinner.4


Hear ye the history of the most holy vessel that is
called Graal, wherein the precious blood of the Sav
iour was received on the day that He was put on
rood and crucified in order that He might redeem His people
from the pains of hell. Josephus set it in remembrance by
annunciation of the voice of an angel, for that the truth
might be known by his writing of good knights, and good
worshipful men how they were willing to suffer pain and to
travail for the setting forward of the Law of Jesus Christ,
that He willed to make new by His death and by His crucifixion.
