Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of medieval Arthurian prose romances, specifically exploring the evolution of the "Le Livre d'Artus," a sprawling compilation of tales that shaped the Arthurian legend. The author meticulously analyzes a unique manuscript, MS. No. 337, which contains two distinct fragments. The first fragment corresponds to the early history of King Arthur as found in the Vulgate Cycle, while the second fragment offers a different version of this same history. The author argues that these fragments, despite their differences, are linked by a common origin. Through detailed textual comparisons, they reveal how these fragments, in addition to other manuscripts of the Vulgate Merlin, point to the existence of a larger, foundational text, "Le Livre d'Artus," that served as a crucial stepping stone in the development of the Arthurian prose romances. The author's analysis sheds new light on the process by which the "Le Livre d'Artus" influenced the influential "Le Livre de Lancelot," highlighting how these two works interacted and shaped the narrative arc of the Arthurian legend. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of medieval writers and illuminates the dynamic evolution of a cornerstone of Western literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
