Following the publication of Chrétien de Troyes’ novels, the early 13th century sees the emergence, in the 1220s to 1240s, of several versions of the “Prose Lancelot”, a text associated with the Grail motif. Further Grail novels, several Merlin-centric tales, as well as a prose “Tristan” also referencing the Arthurian world and the Grail, indicate the literary world’s new fascination for the object of Grail. Subsequently, we can chart the expansion of a narrative cosmos focussed on these topics during the 13th and 14th century, its broad appeal tangible until the late 15th century. The opulent manuscripts from the library of Jacques d’Armagnac, Duke of Nemours (1433-1477), attest to this fascination. Among those, a “Tristan” in prose as well as two extensive compilations based on the “Prose Lancelot” have been reliably identified as works commissioned by the Duke himself. These manuscripts, which represent a substantial part of the vernacular texts in the library, are the focus of this research proposal, which aims to make these texts accessible for future scholarly research and analysis. The present proposal has two objectives, one pertaining to literary science in the narrow sense, the other one focused on palaeography. Up until now, literary scholarship on the topic has been focused on the early, 13th and 14th century versions of Arthurian prose novels in the attempt to gain an understanding of the genesis and original form of these often-lengthy stories. On the other hand, the present project based on the Nemours manuscripts addresses the end of (late) medieval Arthurian literature in France and examines the distinctive characteristics of these texts, which were written at a time when both everyday life and aesthetic concepts were entirely different from those of the early 13th century. Furthermore, by making the compilations available in a digital edition, the project will enable scholars to access a substantial corpus that has so far only been edited in short excerpts. As far as palaeography is concerned, the digital manuscript transcriptions published by the project will provide a wealth of research material regarding the writing habits of the copyists working for the Duke of Nemours, enabling several hundred pages to be analysed digitally. These transcriptions will also serve as a basis for historical linguistic research on Middle French.

随着克雷蒂安·德·特鲁瓦的小说出版，世纪早期出现了几个版本的《兰斯洛特散文》，这是一个与圣杯主题有关的文本。后来的圣杯小说，几个以梅林为中心的故事，以及散文《特里斯坦》也提到亚瑟王世界和圣杯，表明文学界对圣杯的新魅力。随后，我们可以绘制一个叙事宇宙的扩张集中在这些主题在13和14世纪，其广泛的吸引力有形，直到15世纪后期。内穆尔杜克雅克·达马尼亚克（Jacques d 'Armagnac，Duke of Nemours，1433-1477）图书馆中的大量手稿证明了这种魅力。其中，一本散文《特里斯坦》以及两本基于《散文兰斯洛特》的广泛汇编被可靠地确定为杜克本人委托的作品。这些手稿代表了图书馆中白话文本的很大一部分，是本研究提案的重点，旨在使这些文本可用于未来的学术研究和分析。本文的研究目标有两个，一个是狭义的文学学，另一个是古文字学。到目前为止，关于这个主题的文学研究一直集中在早期，13和14世纪版本的亚瑟王散文小说，试图了解这些通常很长的故事的起源和原始形式。另一方面，本项目的基础上内穆尔手稿地址结束（晚）中世纪亚瑟王文学在法国，并检查这些文本的鲜明特点，这是写在一个时间，无论是日常生活和审美观念是完全不同的世纪初。此外，通过以数字版本提供汇编，该项目将使学者能够访问迄今为止仅在简短摘录中编辑过的大量语料库。 就古文字学而言，该项目出版的数字手稿将提供丰富的研究材料，了解为内穆尔杜克工作的抄写员的写作习惯，从而能够对数百页进行数字分析。这些译本也将作为中古法语历史语言学研究的基础。
