In the introductory Chapter the reader will find the aim and object of these studies set forth at length. In view of the importance and complexity of the problems involved it seemed better to incorporate such a statement in the book itself, rather than relegate it to a Preface which all might not trouble to read. Yet I feel that such a general statement does not adequately express my full debt of obligation. Among the many whose labour has been laid under contribution in the following pages there are certain scholars whose published work, or personal advice, has been specially illuminating, and to whom specific acknowledgment is therefore due. Like many others I owe to Sir J. G. Frazer the initial inspiration which set me, as I may truly say, on the road to the Grail Castle. Without the guidance of The Golden Bough I should probably, as the late M. Gaston Paris happily expressed it, still be wandering in the forest of Broceliande! During the Bayreuth Festival of 1911 I had frequent opportunities of meeting, and discussion with, Professor von Schroeder. I owe to him not only the introduction to his own work, which I found most helpful, but references which have been of the greatest assistance; e.g. my knowledge of Cumont's Les Religions Orientales, and Scheftelowitz's valuable study on Fish Symbolism, both of which have furnished important links in the chain of evidence, is due to Professor von Schroeder.

Sir Libeaus Desconus is a medieval romance novel written by Jessie L. Weston. The story follows the adventures of Sir Libeaus, a knight who is cursed with a mysterious illness that causes him to forget his own identity. As he travels through the land in search of a cure, he encounters various challenges and obstacles, including battles with other knights, encounters with magical creatures, and a love affair with a beautiful lady. Along the way, Sir Libeaus must overcome his own doubts and fears in order to rediscover his true self and fulfill his destiny as a noble knight. Weston's novel is a classic example of the medieval romance genre, with its themes of chivalry, honor, and courtly love, and is sure to captivate readers with its vivid descriptions of a bygone era.Then the maiden kneeled in the hall before all the knights, and greeted them with honour, and said to the King, ""Evil is the case of which I tell thee; within walls was never a sadder. The fair lady of Sinadoun is held in close prison. She prays thee to send her a knight good and strong of heart who may win her freedom.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Quest of the Holy Grail originally published in London by G Bell 1913 by Jessie Laidlay Weston (1850-1928) is a distillation of 20 years of Arthurian scholarship in one of the Western world's most enduring symbols. Was the Holy Grail the cup Jesus drank from at the Last Supper? The vessel in which Joseph of Arimethea received the blood of Christ? Or was it something else? Weston argues that the Grail legend is actually nature worship passed on as mystery and tradition. This fascinating book is a treasure to behold and gives as clearly and concisely as possible, a description of the literature composing the Grail cycle, an analysis of its contents and a survey of the leading theories which have arisen through this perplexing body of romance.
