Page 25.--_The tale is here over long._ Throughout the whole section devoted by Wauchier to the _Gawain_ in contradistinction to the _Perceval_ adventures, there are constant references to the length and importance of the '_grand conte_' of which they formed a part. There are numerous 'Perilous Cemeteries' in Arthurian romance, _e.g._ there is one in the prose _Lancelot_, which Hector and Gawain attempt, and are worsted: another in _Perlesvaus_, and a third forms the subject of a special poem, '_L'Atre Perilleus_.' Of this last Gawain is the hero. There is a cemetery connected with the adventure of the Chapel of the Black Hand, and one in the _Queste_. It is impossible to determine the tale to which the compiler here alludes. Page 28.--_Esterlins_, _besants_, &c. The original is _Esterlins, porpres, e besans, Deniers de muce e d'aufricains_. The correct translation is doubtful. _Porpres_ is a texture, and seems to be out of place among an enumeration of coins. '_Deniers de muce_' is found in no dictionary or article on coins. _Muce_ may signify _a hiding place_, hence the treasure-trove of the translation; or, as M. Paul Meyer suggests, _muce_ may be an error for _murcie_, which would be the equivalent of Spanish, at that period Saracen, money. Du Cange, under the heading of '_Africanus_,' gives '_Moneta Saracenorum_.' It is noteworthy that the MSS. of later date omit these lines. Page 29.--_Grails of silver._ This is the only instance I know in which the word _Grail_ is used in a general sense, and it is of value as indicating the meaning which the writers of that period attached to the word. Page 38.--_Ider de Lis._ The father's name is more generally given as Norres de Lis. Llys is the Welsh for castle, and the spelling of the word varies in the texts. Brandelis is, as a rule, written in one word, and spelt with an _i_; when the castle alone is spoken of it is written Lys. I have endeavoured to indicate this peculiarity in the translation. Cf. Gawain's appeal to his uncle to eat, and Arthur's refusal, with _Arthur_ and _Gorlagon_ published by Prof. Kittredge; cf. _Folk-Lore_, March 1904, where a translation of this curious tale, with explanatory comment, is given. Page 41.--_A comrade for Huden._ Huden, or Hudenc, is Tristan's dog. The reference is interesting, as showing a knowledge of the _Tristan_ story on the part of the compiler. That hero, however, plays no part in this group of tales. Page 48.--_There came forth a damosel._ The lady's name is not given here, but later on she is called Guilorete, and in other texts Gloriete. II Page 63.--_Castle Orguellous._ This adventure, under the title of '_Gawain and Golagros_,' will be found in Madden's '_Syr Gawayne_,' but the version is much condensed. In the English poem Espinogres plays the _rôle_ here assigned to Bran de Lis, and explains the customs of the castle.
