🌲 Morien: A Metrical Romance Rendered into English Prose from the Mediæval Dutch, Opening, part 1, sentence 61

The _Morien_ is for me a welcome piece of evidence in support of the theory that sees in the poem of Wolfram von Eschenbach the survival of a genuine variant of the _Perceval_ story, differing in important particulars from that preserved by Chrétien de Troyes, and based upon a French original, now, unfortunately, lost.

Who acts: Morien, theory, Perceval · What happens: be, see, differ, preserve, base, lose · To what, where: welcome piece, poem, important particulars, that, French original, theory
