High History Of The Holy Grail - Sebastian Evans

The Book of the Grail was originally written in the 13th century, but has been lost to history. This version has been compiled from a 16th-century account and is the most complete extant version in existence. The story of Percival and his quest is of course included, as are tales of the fisher king, the visit of Joseph of Arimathea, the Knights of the Round Table, and the crown of thorns. For anyone interested in Arthurian or medieval legends, The High History of the Holy Grail is bound to be fascinating. In this edition's epilogue, Evans shares his supposition that this could be "the original story of Sir Perceval and the Holy Graal, whole and incorrupt as it left the hands of its first author."
