Acad, der Wissensch., 1890, II, 2, p. 185. I agree fully with Golther that the Peredur version of the episode is a combination of the Crestien version and the Irish tale (or a story like it) cited by Zimmer. Doubtless Golther would have strengthened his view considerably by citing the list of similar stories adduced in a commentary on this episode by the Grimms (Altdeut. Waelder, Vol. I, Cassel, 1813). But it is worthy of remark that Golther and Zimmer, in fact everybody except Hertz (Parzival, zweite Auflage, Stuttgart, 1898, p. 509), overlooked the work that the Grimms had already done. The Grimms, for example, give in full (p. 10) the Irish story in which Prof. Zimmer fancied he had discovered the common source of the Peredur and Crestien versions of the episode under discussion. Furthermore, in a note (to p. 2) they write: "Auch in Roman du S. Graal versinnt sich Gauvain ueber die drei Blutstropfen der heiligen Lanze, welche Sage halb hierher gehoert (edition de 1521, fol. 145 a)." This must be our romance, although the only incunabula of it with which I am acquainted are those of 1517 and 1523 (cf. above). revery here has the same motive as Gawain's above, of course, may be accidental; each writer may have hit upon the motive independently. Nevertheless, if the Perlesvaus is based on the portion of Perceval written by Crestien, as there is reason to believe, this motive probably was one of the many features which our author borrowed. The fact then that the subject of the revery was changed would be explained by the religious nature of the Perlesvaus, in which an adventure of love would have been quite out of place.1 ...
