Excerpt from Sir Perceval of Galles: A Study of the Sources of the Legend

In seeking the origins of the Perceval tale, I have circum scribed the interpretation oi origins. It is the immediate ancestry, not the ultimate source, that has here been sought. I have made no inquiry into Old Irish literature in the expectation of pointing out its parallels to the Perceval tale, if such there be; nor any into folklore domains in the hope of tracing the tale or its elements to an origin in custom, myth, or religion. Finally, the Grail problem lies outside the limits of this investigation, since no allusion to the Grail occurs in the English poem which is taken as the point of departure.
