BOOK XV Page 135, line 22--'_His armour a knight displayed_.' The riches of Feirefis and his costly raiment are dwelt upon at such length that one suspects that the aim of the poet was to exalt the importance of the House of Anjou; of which Feirefis, rather than Parzival, must here be considered the representative. Page 136, line 31--'_Agremontein_.' Cf. Book IX. p. 284. Page 136, line 42--'_Thopedissimonté_,' _etc._ This place has not been named before, and critics have not identified it with any known name. Assigarzionté may, as suggested in Note to Book XIV., be the same as Agatyrsjenté. Thasmé we already know, Book XIII. p. 74 and Note. Page 137, line 59--'_Parzival rode not lonely_.' The expression of an idea which seems to be a favourite one with Wolfram, cf. Book V. p. 139 and Book VIII. 242. Page 137, line 81--'_As the lion-cub_,' _etc._ This fable, a belief in which was general in the Middle Ages, is also mentioned by Wolfram in his _Willehalm_. Page 139, line 120--'_My brother and I are one body_,' _etc._ As remarked before, Wolfram has an extremely high idea of the binding nature of family relationships, cf. Book III. p. 97 and further on p. 145. Page 139, line 121--'_Asbestos_.' Cf. Book IX. p. 281. Page 139, line 138--'Kaukasus.' It is rather curious to find Sekundillé associated with Kaukasus, as we are elsewhere told that she was queen of Tribalibot, _i.e._ India. In Book X. p. 11 we are told that she had golden mountains in her kingdom, which may have suggested the connection. Page 140, line 155--'_And the other, the precious jewels_,' _etc._ It has already been remarked (Note to Book IX.) that the attribution of strengthening virtue to precious stones, and the prominence given to them throughout the poem, is a special feature of the _Parzival_. In the next book we meet with a remarkable instance of this peculiarity.
