Rochat--Furnivall's reprint of the Grand St. Graal and of
Borron--J. F. Campbell--Furnivall's Queste--Paulin Paris--

Arimathea--Hucher: Grail Celtic, date of Borron--Zarncke, Zur
Geschichte der Gralsage; Grail belongs to Christian
legend--Birch-Hirschfeld develops Zarncke's views: Grand St.
Graal younger than Queste, both presuppose Chrestien and an
earlier Queste, the Didot-Perceval, which forms integral part
of Borron's trilogy; Mabinogi later than Chrestien; various
members of the cycle dated--Martin combats Birch-Hirschfeld:
Borron later than Chrestien, whose poem represents oldest
stage of the romance, which has its roots in Celtic
tradition--Hertz--Criticism of Birch-Hirschfeld page 97
