266 INDEX I.

DRAMATIS PERSONÆ. [This Index is to the Summaries contained in Chapter II, and the references are not to page and line, but to Version and Incident. The Versions are distinguished by the following abbreviations:—

Conte du Graal Co, Pseudo-Chrestien PC, Chrestien C, Gautier G, Manessier Ma, Gerbert Ge, Wolfram W, Heinrich von dem Türlin H, Mabinogi of Peredur M, Thornton MS. Sir Perceval T, Didot-Perceval D, Borron's poem B, Queste Q (Q$1$ and Q,$2$ refer to the different drafts of the romance distinguished p. 83) Grand St. Graal GG. With the less important entries, or when the entries are confined to one version, a simple number reference is given. But in the case of the more important personages, notably Perceval, Gawain, and Galahad, an attempt has been made to show the life history, by grouping together references to the same incident from different versions; in this case each incident group is separated from other groups by a long dash. Any speciality in the incident presented by a version is bracketed before the reference initial, and, when deemed advisable, reference has been made to allied as well as to similar incidents. This detail, to save space, is, as a rule, given only once, as under Perceval, and not duplicated under other headings, the number reference alone being given in the latter cases. The fullest entry is Perceval, which practically comprises such entries as Fisher King, Grail, Sword, Lance, etc.]
