The mysterious and haunting Grail makes its first appearance in literature in Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval at the end of the twelfth century. But Chrétien never finished his poem, leaving an unresolved story and an incomplete picture of the Grail. It was, however, far too attractive an idea to leave. Not only did it inspire quite separate works; his own unfinished poem was continued and finally completed by no fewer than four other writers. The Complete Story of the Grail is the first ever translation of the whole of the rich and compelling body of tales contained in Chrétien's poem and its four Continuations, which are finally attracting the scholarly attention they deserve. Besides Chrétien's original text, there are the anonymous First Continuation (translated here in its fullest version), the Second Continuation attributed to Wauchier de Denain, and the intriguing Third and Fourth Continuations - probably written simultaneously, with no knowledge of each other's work - by Manessier and Gerbert de Montreuil. Two other poets were drawn to create preludes explaining the background to Chrétien's story, and translated here also are their works: The Elucidation Prologue and Bliocadran. Only in this, The Story of the Grail's complete form, can the reader appreciate the narrative skill and invention of the medieval poets and their surprising responses to Chrétien's theme - not least their crucial focus on the knight as a crusader. Equally, Chrétien's original poem was almost always copied in conjunction withone or more of the Continuations, so this translation represents how most medieval readers would have encountered it. Nigel Bryant's previous translations from Medieval French include Perlesvaus - the High Bookof the Grail, Robert de Boron's trilogy Merlin and the Grail, the Medieval Romance of Alexander, The True Chronicles of Jean le Bel and Perceforest.

In this verse translation of Perceval; or, The Story of the Grail, Ruth Harwood Cline restores to life the thematically crucial Arthurian tale of the education of a knight in his search for the Holy Grail. Cline's translation, faithful to the highly synthetic, deliberately ornate nature of medieval French, follows Perceval from his home in Wales, through his rich and raucous adventures as a member of the fraternity of knights, to his climactic meeting with the Fisher King. Paralyzed by his first glimpse of the Grail, Perceval fails to save the ailing king. Distraught, the knight begins a new quest for the Grail, a journey on the road of penitence and faith. Perceval's venture, the true test of his knighthood, ends without conclusion; the death of author Chrétien de Troyes left unsaid and undetermined the success of Perceval's quest.

This book is translated from the first volume of "Perceval le Gallois ou le contedu Graal"; edited by M. Ch. Potvin for 'La Societe des Bibliophiles Belges' in 1866,1from 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 pricelesscollection: '"Le Roman de Saint Graal", beginning "Ores lestoires", in the Frenchlanguage; date, first third of the sixteenth century; with ornamental capitals.'2Written three centuries later than the original romance, and full as it is of faults ofthe scribe, this manuscript is by far the most complete known copy of the "Book ofthe Graal" in existence, being defective only in Branch XXI. Titles 8 and 9, thesubstance 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 thethirteenth century, are preserved in six consecutive leaves and one detached leafbound up with a number of other works in a MS. numbered 113 in the City Libraryat Berne. The volume is in folio on vellum closely written in three columns to thepage, and the seven leaves follow the last poem contained in it, entitled "Duremartle Gallois". The manuscript is well known, having been lent to M. de Sainte Palayefor use in the Monuments of French History issued by the Benedictines of theCongregation of St Maur. Selections from the poems it contains are given inSinner's "Extraits de Poesie du XIII. Siecle",3 and it is described, unfortunatelywithout any reference to these particular leaves, by the same learned librarian inthe "Catalogus Codicum MSS. Bibl. Bernensis", J.R. Sinner. 4M. Potvin has carefully collated for his edition all that is preserved of theRomance in this manuscript, comprising all the beginning of the work as far asBranch III. Title 8, about the middle, and from Branch XIX. Title 23, near thebeginning, to Branch XXX. Title 5, in the middle. Making allowance for variations ofspelling and sundry minor differences of reading, by no means always in favour ofthe earlier scribe, the Berne fragments are identical with the corresponding portionsof the Brussels manuscript, and it is therefore safe to assume that the latter is onthe whole an accurate transcript of the entire original Romance.The only note of time in the book itself is contained in the declaration at the end.From this it appears that it was written by order of the Seingnor of Cambrein forMessire Jehan the Seingnor of Neele. M. Potvin, without giving any reason for sodoing, assumes that this Lord of Cambrein is none other than the Bishop ofCambrai. If this assumption be correct, the person referred to was probably eitherJohn of Berhune, who held the see from 1200 till July 27, 1219, or his successorGodfrey of Fontaines (Conde), who held it till 1237. To me, however, it seems morelikely that the personage intended was in reality the 'Seingnor' of Cambrin, thechef-lieu of a canton of the same name, on a small hill overlooking the peatmarshesof Bethune, albeit I can find no other record of any such landedproprietor's existence.Be this as it may, the Messire Jehan, Seingnor of Neele, can hardly be otherthan the John de Nesle who was present at the battle of Bouvines in 1214, andwho in 1225 sold the lordship of Bruges to Joan of Flanders.5 These datestherefore may be regarded as defining that of the original Romance within fairlynarrow limits.This conclusion is confirmed by other evidence. An early Welsh translation ofthe story was published with an English version and a glossary by the Rev. RobertWilliams in the first volume of his "Selections from the Hengwrt MSS".6 The firstvolume of this work is entitled "Y Seint Greal, being the adventures of King Arthur'sknights of the Round Table, in the quest of the Holy Grail, and on other occasions.
