"Welchem Volke das Marchen (von Parzival's Jugendgeschichte) angehorte, welches die schriftliche oder miindliche Ueberlieferung mit der Gralsage in Verbindung brachte, ist schwer zu bestimmen, doch wilrde dasjenige Volk den meisten Anspruch darauf haben, bei welchem sich dies Marchen ausserhalb jenes Zusammenhangs nachweisen liesse."

The information from the following family trees was obtained using sources from the tales of the Vulgate Cycle and Post Vulgate Cycle. Perceval was now seen as the son of King Pellinor. See House of Lancelot and the Fisher King. Galahad replaced the earlier hero, Perceval , and the content took on more spiritual meaning, with more Christian motifs and symbolism than ever before. Not only did we have a new hero, but all the adventures were also different. See Early Tradition , for the family trees of Perceval. Perceval was now the son of King Pellinor. See the previous family tree, titled the House of Pellinor. This family tree provided a more detail than the Post-Vulgate family tree. I have fully listed all the ancestors of Lancelot and the House of Grail Keeper, all the way to the time of Joseph of Arimathea. Well, as full as can get. The legend claimed that Lancelot and Galahad are descendants of King David, but no medieval writers gave a list of names that go back that far in time. While the line of King Pelles goes back all the way to the sister of Joseph of Arimathea. As to the line of Joseph himself, he can claim descendants like King Urien and his son, Yvain. Nascien was contemporary of Joseph. Both lines can be found in the Vulgate work called The History of the Grail.

  • A Black Monk in the Rose Garden Lydgate and the Dit Amoureux Tradition Susan Bianco Dphil the University of York the Department
    A BLACK MONK IN THE ROSE GARDEN LYDGATE AND THE DIT AMOUREUX TRADITION SUSAN BIANCO DPHIL THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH AND RELATED LITERATURE SEPTEMBER, 1999 ABSTRACT This thesis explores connections between the courtly poetry of John Lydgate, monk of Bury, and works which belong to the French tradition of the dit amoureux. A theoretical framework has been adopted for this study which insists upon the need to historicise Lydgate's dits; these were occasional poems. Linked to this historicisation is an acknowledgement of the important relationships in late-medieval literature between ideology and genre and between ethics and politics. A study of the genre of the dits amoureux in the fourteenth century reveals poems which are didactic and courtly; they also frequently refer to specific historic referents. No courtly commission has hitherto been sought for Lydgate's dits amoureux. The suggestion that Henry Bolingbroke, the future Henry IV, features in both the Complaynt of the Black Knight and the Temple of Glas positions these poems amongst Lydgate's earliest extant works. The Complaynt may refer to Bolingbroke's exile in France; the Temple may have been written to celebrate his marriage to Joan of Navarre. I conclude that the Complaynt exploits the tradition of the French dit amoureux to use the allegory of an unhappy courtly lover to express political and androcentric concerns. I propose a multiplicity of readings for the Temple. It depicts a 'marriage' in Venus' temple of love, produces an implicit critique of courtly language and courtly love and teaches the importance of gaining popular support through eloquent speech in the public forum.

    Friday, 28.07.2017 09:00-10:30 Artusrezeption in Spätmittelalter und Früher Neuzeit Head: Mathias Herweg Room 2 Unsere Sektion zum Rahmenthema "Nachmittelalterlicher Artus: Druck und andere Medien" befasst sich mit dem Weiterleben des Artusstoffs und der Artusfiguren im Spätmittelalter und der Frühen Neuzeit. Das Spektrum reicht vom 13. bis zum 16. Jahrhundert (mit einem Schwerpunkt im 15./16. Jh.) und deckt die deutsche, französische, italienische und niederländische Literatur ab. Beleuchtet wird einerseits, wie Figuren der matière de Bretagne in verschiedenen Gattungen rezipiert werden (in längeren und kürzeren Erzähltexten, in verschiedenen lyrischen Gattungen und auf der Bühne), andererseits, welche Rolle dabei verschiedene Medienwechsel (Buchdruck, Text/Bild, Bühne) spielen. DIE FRÜHEN DRUCKE DER FRANZÖSISCHEN ARTUSROMANE Brigitte Burrichter Im ausgehenden 15. und frühen 16. Jahrhundert wurden mehrere französische Artusromane des 13. Jahrhunderts gedruckt. Gegenstand des Vortrags wird der Umgang der Drucker mit den mittelalterlichen Romanen sein (Modernisierung der Sprache, Vorworte). RÜCKBLICK AUF DES KÖNIG ARTUS ZEIT. ARTUS-ERWÄHNUNGEN IM HÖFISCH-GALANTEN ROMAN DES 15./16. JAHRHUNDERTS Cora Dietl In der höfisch-galanten Erzählliteratur des späteren 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts lässt sich zunehmend eine historische Distanz zur arthurischen Welt erkennen. Wenn ritterliche Romane dieser Zeit in England oder Frankreich spielen, dann ist es meist das nacharthurische Britannien, in dem sich zwar Konstellationen aus der Artusliteratur wiederholen, aber keine Artusritter mehr auftreten. Sie werden trotzdem als Exempel genannt – und das häufig zu Beginn der Handlung, um beim Rezipienten das entsprechende literarische Muster aufzurufen und die Rezipientenerwartung entsprechend zu lenken. Diesem Phänomen werde ich an verschiedenen Beispieltexten nachgehen (u.a. Pontus und Sidonia, Ritter Galmy, Amadis), um nach der Funktion des Arthurischen im nichtarthurischen höfisch-galanten Roman um 1500 generell zu fragen.

  • Compléter La Table Ronde. Le Lignage De Guiron Vu Par Les Armoriaux Arthuriens
    Compléter la Table Ronde. Le lignage de Guiron vu par les armoriaux arthuriens Un armorial est, pris à la lettre, un « livre des armes », c’est-à-dire que l’on y consigne les armoiries des chevaliers d’une famille, d’une région, d’un pays ou tout simplement de ceux qui ont été présents à un événement particulier. À l’opposé d’un tel armorial « occasionnel », comme on dit, se situent l’armorial « général », qui recense les armoiries de toute la noblesse occidentale, et l’armorial « universel » qui comporte en outre des personnages préhéraldiques, comme Charlemagne, les héros bibliques ou le prêtre Jean1. Les armoriaux arthuriens, dont il sera ici question, sont de la même veine dans la mesure où il y est question de personnages non historiques2 : il s’agit en effet de répertoires qui donnent la liste de l’ensemble des chevaliers de la Table Ronde, avec leur nom et leur écu, le plus souvent dessiné, parfois aussi blasonné, occasionnellement accompagné de renseignements concernant les supports, le cimier et la devise du chevalier3. À côté de cette première forme de l’armorial arthurien, il en existe une seconde, qui ajoute, à ces informations héraldiques, une petite description de chaque personnage, voire son portrait. Dans les manuscrits qui comportent des descriptions, le tout est précédé d’une rubrique liminaire destinée à conférer aux différentes notices une sorte d’unité de temps et de lieu : Ce sont les noms, armes et blasons des chevaliers compaignons de la Table Ronde au temps que ilz jurerent la queste du Sainct Graal a Camaloth le jour de la 1 M.

  • Roman De Guiron’
    La tradition textuelle de la Continuation du ‘Roman de Guiron’ Le cycle romanesque de Guiron le Courtois est une vaste galaxie textuelle formée de différents contes et narrations. En partant de cet ensemble textuel, la récente enquête de Nicola Morato a réussi à démontrer l’existence de trois noyaux fonda- mentaux (Roman de Meliadus, Roman de Guiron, Suite Guiron) à partir desquels se sont ensuite construites les narrations successives1. Cette démarche a ainsi permis de mettre enfi n de l’ordre dans un ensemble textuel très riche et diffi cile à percevoir de façon organique. À l’intérieur de ce vaste ensemble, l’objet de notre étude est la Continuation du ‘Roman de Guiron’, une narration postérieure aux trois noyaux principaux, qui cher- che à donner une réponse au « blocage narratif » imposé par la fi n du Roman de Gui- ron. Dans cette brève étude, nous voulons exposer comment ce texte a été traité par la critique, dresser une liste des problèmes relatifs à une curieuse tradition textuelle, enfi n fournir quelques éléments pour l’étude des rapports de dépendance entre les deux manuscrits complets2. À la fi n du Roman de Guiron, deuxième branche du cycle (Lath. 132)3, les ch e- valiers qui, jusqu’alors, avaient joué le rôle de protagonistes, ne sont plus capables d’entreprendre actions ou aventures. Plusieurs d’entre eux sont emprisonnés (Guiron le Courtois, le Bon Chevalier sans Peur, Ariohan de Sassoigne, Lac, Danain le Roux, le Morholt d’Irlande) ; d’autres rentrent dans leur pays d’origine (Meliadus en Leo- nois, Pharamond en Gaule).

  • Lore of Proserpine
    LORE OF PROSERPINE BY MAURICE HEWLETT "Thus go the fairy kind, Whither Fate driveth; not as we Who fight with it, and deem us free Therefore, and after pine, or strain Against our prison bars in vain; For to them Fate is Lord of Life And Death, and idle is a strife With such a master..." —Hypsipyle This eBook was prepared by HKA January, 2004 From the edition published by CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS Published in New York April, 1913 This text is in the public domain. TO DESPOINA FROM WHOM, TO WHOM ALL PREFACE I HOPE nobody will ask me whether the things in this book are true, for it will then be my humiliating duty to reply that I don't know. They seem to be so to me writing them; they seemed to be so when they occurred, and one of them occurred only two or three years ago. That sort of answer satisfies me, and is the only one I can make. As I grow older it becomes more and more difficult to distinguish one kind of appearance from another, and to say, that is real, and again, that is illusion. Honestly, I meet in my daily walks innumerable beings, to all sensible signs male and female. Some of them I can touch, some smell, some speak with, some see, some discern otherwise than by sight. But if you cannot trust your eyes, why should you trust your nose or your fingers? There's my difficulty in talking about reality. There's another way of getting at the truth after all.

  • Dante and Giovanni Del Virgilio : Including a Critical Edition of the Text
    Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2007 with funding from IVIicrosoft Corporation http://www.archive.org/details/dantegiovannidelOOdantuoft DANTE AND GIOVANNI DEL VIEGILIO. W^ Dante and Giovanni del Virgilio Including a Critical Edition of the text of Dante's " Eclogae Latinae " and of the poetic remains of Giovanni del Virgilio By Philip H. Wicksteed, M.A. and Edmund G. Gardner, M.A. Solatur maesti nunc mea fata senis Westminster Archibald Constable & Company, Ltd. 1902 GLASGOW: PRINTED AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS BV ROBERT MACLEHOSB AND CO. TO FRANCIS HENRY JONES AND FRANCIS URQUHART. PREFACE. Our original intention was merely to furnish a critical edition, with a translation and commentary, of the poetical correspondence between Dante and Del Virgilio. But a close study of Del Virgilio's poem addressed to Mussato, with a view to the discovery of matter illustrative of his correspondence with Dante, convinced us that Dante students would be glad to be able to read it in its entirety. And when we found ourselves thus including the greater part of Del Virgilio's extant work in our book, the pious act of collecting the rest of his poetic remains naturally sug- gested itself; and so our project took the shape of an edition of Dante's Latin Eclogues and of the poetic remains of Del Virgilio, The inclusion in our work of the Epistle to Mussato made some introductory account of the Paduan poet necessary ; and his striking personality, together with the many resemblances and contrasts between his lot and that of Dante, encouraged us to think that such an account would be acceptable to our readers.

Valores de una novela del siglo XIII Mario Botero García* Resumen Este texto pone en evidencia los valores ideológicos del Tristan en prose, novela del siglo XIII, basado en elementos primordialmente opuestos como el contexto cristiano que abre la novela y su dimensión profana que consolida a Tristán e Iseo como los representantes absolutos de una ética cortés y caballeresca. Se muestra así la incapacidad que tiene el autor anónimo para apartarse de la tradición literaria anterior (especialmente el contexto de las novelas del Grial) y la forma cómo ésta es adaptada a los ideales propios de una sociedad caballeresca. Palabras clave Tristan en prose, cortesía, caballería, José de Arimatea, Grial.
