Continuations of the Old French Perceval of Chrétien de Troyes. 4

Vol. III, Part 2 contains the text of the Short Redaction of the First Continuation of Chretien’s “Perceval” according to MSS L, A, and R. It is apparent that, though the principal texts are of almost the same length, they differ quite considerably in details of expression. On the other hand, they contain the same episodes and have only minor differences of narrative, except in Section IV, Episode 5. Vol. III, Part 2 contains the Glossary of the First Continuation by Lucien Foulet. It is is based on the assumption that words, expressions, and forms which are readily comprehensible to any one who knows modern French need not be included. Originally published in 1952, & 1955; reprinted 1970.
