[230] M. Paulin Paris omits this adventure in his summary, which only records the Lancelot sections. It is thus apparently lacking in the MS. used.

[231] This is one of the adventures referred to previously, cf. pp. [137-139], Grand S. Graal, vol. iii. p. 303 et seq. It is worth noting that it is only in the passages parallel to Grand S. Graal that L.'s relations with queen are spoken of as sinful.

[232] This does not fit in with indications of story, which would place Galahad's birth considerably earlier, L.'s visit to Corbenic being some two or three years previous.

[233] All this section of Lancelot's adventures, from his meeting with Sarras of Logres, differs very much from M. Paulin Paris's summary. Cf. Romans de la Table Ronde, v. p. 322 seq.

Transcriber's Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been corrected, but other variations in spelling, punctuation, and the use of accents have been retained except where in conflict with the index.

A missing "the" was added in chapter 8. "In these last instances the story may well have been in the Lancelot, and taken over by "the" compiler of Grand S. Graal; the Queste makes very little of them; they only serve to keep up the connection between the 'secular' and 'religious' sections."
