'And many a strange adventure came my way in that time': Adaptation of the 13th c. French text 'The Quest of the Holy Grail' in 15th c. Ireland.

这个项目的重点是爱尔兰改编的法语“Queste del Saint Graal”，名为“Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhtha”，据说写于14至15世纪之间。很少有研究关注后者，除了现代编辑的评论，没有学者试图深入比较法语和爱尔兰文本，前者是后者的假定来源。Lorgaireacht和soidhigh Naomhtha的独特之处在于，有证据表明，它是对已知的、广泛传播的欧洲亚瑟王材料的唯一改编。在爱尔兰也发现了其他亚瑟王的方言文本，描绘了与欧洲亚瑟王版本相似的主题，但在这五个爱尔兰方言文本的情况下，我们无法确定它们的最终来源，而不是Lorgaireacht。此外，《兰斯洛特》是一种独特的文学作品，因为在爱尔兰没有其他改编自兰斯洛特散文系列的文本。由此可以推断，它在编译器眼中具有重要的地位，才会受到如此的重视。法语文本的宗教方面在爱尔兰文本中更加突出，其改编的第一个目的在于其说教的信息和良好的基督徒行为的例子。通过对这些文本的爱尔兰和法国手稿传统的考察，本研究旨在研究改编的来源，并试图理解爱尔兰对法国亚瑟王文本的改编是如何实现的。考虑到自12世纪下半叶以来法语语言和文化在爱尔兰的高度重要影响，以及文本呈现的古老特征，不能忽视更早的写作日期，这方面的证据也将被检查。此外，本研究旨在研究爱尔兰文本中的注释，并将其与法语和英语文本进行比较，后者是由托马斯·马洛里在15世纪撰写的。对爱尔兰释经的概述，将使我们了解《洛迦利亚经》和《苏德海经》的改编过程。

This project focuses on the Irish adaptation of the French 'Queste del Saint Graal', entitled 'Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhtha', supposedly written between the 14th and 15th centuries. Very few studies focus on the latter, and apart from the modern editor's commentaries, no scholars attempted an in-depth comparison between the French and the Irish texts, the first being the second's supposed source. The distinctive characteristic of the Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhtha lies in the evidence of it being the sole adaptation of already known and wide-spread European Arthurian material. Other vernacular Arthurian texts are found in Ireland and depict similar motifs as in the European Arthurian versions, but in the case of these five vernacular Irish texts we cannot be sure of their ultimate source as opposed to that of the Lorgaireacht. Moreover, the Lorgaireacht presents an unique literary product, as no other adaptations of texts from the Lancelot-Prose Cycle survive in Irish. One can infer from this that it had an important status in the eyes of the compiler to be given such attention. The religious aspect of the French text is even more prominent in the Irish text, and the first purpose of its adaptation resides in its didactic message and examples of good Christian behaviour. Through the examination of the Irish and French manuscript tradition of these texts, this study aims to look at the source of the adaptation and try to understand how an Irish adaptation of a French Arthurian text was made possible. Considering the highly important influence of the French language and culture in Ireland since the second half of the 12th century, and the archaic features that the text presents, an earlier composition date cannot be disregarded, and evidence for this will be examined as well. Furthermore, the study aims to look at the exegesis present in the Irish text and compare it to the French and English texts, the latter of which was composed by Thomas Mallory during the 15th century. This overview of the Irish exegesis will provide us with an understanding of the adaptation process of the Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhtha.
