Talk:Lancelot-Grail

message: This is an important page, but it contains inaccuracies. For example, Micha's 8 volumes do not contain the cycle of 5 romances, but only the Lancelot Proper (3rd of the 5). And Lacy's volumes, listed as critical editions, are instead translations. Njl2 11:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This does need a lot of work, sadly, over the whole spectrum. But while the NJL (hmm...:) ) translation should perhaps not be called a "scholarly edition", I'd like to note it's acceptible to use as a reference. It's the best English version I know of, and certainly the most comprehensive.--Cúchullain t/c 18:52, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the recent Pléiade edition is the complete cycle, yet someone has seen fit to remove it from the bibliography.--208.87.248.162 (talk) 00:46, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I couln't find the edit you claimed where someone inserted wrote about the Pléiade edition. I couln't confirm that the edition has been published, just planned. I aded that much into the article. --Kiyoweap (talk) 23:02, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know what language the Vulgate Cycle was originally written in? (the Post-Vulgate Cycle page mentions French; is that true for the Vulgate as well?) VisibleInk 19:11, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: French. I can't believe it didn't say that before, thanks for pointing it out!--Cúchullain t/c 20:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry to dredge up ancient history, but which French? Old French or Middle French (since ModFr wasn't yet in existence)? Anyone out there know? Drydic guy (talk) 15:47, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's Old French.--Cúchullain t/c 18:30, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Original language

message: Would anyone like to try their hand at summarizing the contents of this work as well as the Post-Vulgate and Prose Tristan? Perhaps with a discussion of their sources and authorship? We could possibly split up the task if anyone is interested. I know there are some articles on JStor about the scholarship behind the cycles. Phi (talk) 17:29, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: As far as I can tell, the name "Pseudo-Map Cycle" is used extensively, and only, in one work. I was sufficiently intrigued by this that I bought a copy of the book (including postage, it cost less than a pint of pub beer). Carman does not attribute the name "Pseudo-Map Cycle" to anyone else; nor explicitly explain it, though it's clear enough: the cycle, which lacks a better name, has been wrongly attributed to Walter Map. The titles of the 70-odd sources cited by Carman do not use the words "pseudo-" or "cycle", nor, I think, an equivalent in another language.
My view is that a name which has only been used in one source does not warrant a place in the lead of the article. I propose removing it, unless I'm advised otherwise. Maproom (talk) 17:35, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Pseudo-Map Cycle 

message: "One theory identified the initiator as French queen Eleanor of Aquitaine who would have set up the project already in 1194." She would have been the English not French queen (actually the English queen dowager) at that point....for some five decades (five years as dowager), non?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:3902:B10A:B5C6:5CBC:44FB:99 (talk) 03:13, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
