CHAPTER X

THE QUESTE VERSIONS

Comparison of texts continued--Dutch _Lancelot_--French

1533--Malory--Welsh _Queste_--Dr. Furnivall's _Queste_--Dr.

Sommer's summary 166-185

Conclusion--General agreement of the first four against the

last two--The former representing a superior family of

texts--Malory's source an _Agravain-Queste_ MS. belonging to

same family as 1533 and Dutch translation--No proof that

Malory knew earlier section of _Lancelot_ 185-188

Variations of _Queste_ MSS. apparently due to copyist rather

than to compiler--The romance a _Lancelot_, rather than a

_Grail_, romance 188-193
