STUDIES ON THE LEGEND OF THE HOLY GRAIL _WITH ESPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE HYPOTHESIS_ OF ITS CELTIC ORIGIN. BY ALFRED NUTT. "Welchem Volke das Märchen (von Parzival's Jugendgeschichte) angehörte, welches die schriftliche oder mündliche Ueberlieferung mit der Gralsage in Verbindung brachte, ist schwer zu bestimmen, doch würde dasjenige Volk den meisten Anspruch darauf haben, bei welchem sich dies Märchen ausserhalb jenes Zusammenhangs nachweisen liesse."--K. SIMROCK.
