Of the many Medieval poets who wrote of Arthur, the Matter of Britain, very likely the greatest was the German poet Wolfram Von Eschenbach (c. 1170 - c. 1220). His romance of Parzival, Sir Perceval to English speakers, recounts the knight's quest for the Holy Grail. This edition is a prose translation of the Middle High German poetry of Wolfram composed at the beginning of the 13th century.
