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.

该项目的重点是爱尔兰改编的法国“Queste del Saint Graal”，题为“Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhta”，据说写于14世纪和15世纪之间。很少有研究集中在后者，除了现代编辑的评论，没有学者试图在法国和爱尔兰文本之间进行深入的比较，第一个是第二个假定的来源。《Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhta》的独特之处在于，它是对已知和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的土语亚瑟王文本，它们描绘了与欧洲亚瑟王版本相似的主题，但就这五种土语爱尔兰文本而言，我们无法确定它们的最终来源，而不是Lorgaireacht。此外，《洛盖雷赫特》是一部独特的文学作品，因为在爱尔兰没有其他改编自《兰斯洛特-散文集》的作品。人们可以由此推断，它在编译器的眼中具有重要的地位，得到了这样的关注。法国文本的宗教方面在爱尔兰文本中更为突出，其改编的第一个目的在于其说教信息和良好的基督教行为的例子。通过对这些文本的爱尔兰和法国手稿传统的检查，本研究的目的是看看改编的来源，并试图了解如何爱尔兰改编法国亚瑟王文本是可能的。考虑到自12世纪后半叶以来法语和文化在爱尔兰的重要影响，以及文本呈现的古老特征，不能忽视更早的作曲日期，并将对此进行研究。此外，这项研究的目的是看看在爱尔兰文本的注释，并比较它的法语和英语文本，后者是由托马斯马洛里在15世纪。爱尔兰注释的这一概述将使我们了解Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhta的适应过程。
