On The Legend Of The Holy Or San Graal;
Als ich den Gral empfangend Die Botschaft vernommen , Die mir der Gral brachte Vom koclisten Himmel gokommen , "Ward , mein Gesets in Serift an Gral geschant : ( Noch war die hehre Gabe
Nie vorher Menschenhanden vertraut ) . * Thus far for the myths of the Graal , pure and unmixed by the intrusion of the Breton and Armoric tales of Merlin , Arthur , and his twelve Paladins . Having so largely discussed the first portion of our subject , our notice of the second must be comparatively brief ; the subject is too extensive to be
exhausted even in volumes , and their editors throughout Europe , Avith all their enthusiasm and industry , haA'e been unable yet to bring them all before the public . We must content ourselves Avith such parts as more immediately refer to the Graal myth . The first impulse seems to have been given to these later lays from SpainAvhere such Moorish-Oriental tales had been received
, Avith its Moslem conquerors . f The Avriter of the romances of "Parzival" and "Titurel" acknoAvledges thathe receivedor adapted his poems from the French versions of Ryot , Avho stated that he met Avith them in the writings of an unbeliever named Flegantanis , of Toledo , that focus of sorcery and the supernatural .
traditions must have existed in his time at Jerusalem ; for it was scarcely two hundred years since the glorious action had ceased . He says the Urira and Tkummim were the precious stones of the high priest ' s breastplate , which discovered , oil inquiry , the will of Jehovah , by their extraordinary lustre . In this he is followed by St . Cyrill , iu Expos . Symbol , arid others . The Babbis think that the high priest , haA'ing his eyes fixed on the ephod which he wore , observed the stones Avith the various initials
of the twelve tribes ; and as each rose from its place and shone with more than ordinary hrulianey , formed from them the letters to compose the oracular responses . There are , however , a number of other opinions , of which , perhaps , the most improbable is that of Spencer , in his Dissertation ou these two words . He supposes that the divine oracles were given orally by two little golden images , shut up in the pectoral or breast-plate , as in a purse . This would militate so much against the fourth commandment , and the universal abhorrence of graven images amongst the Jews , that it cannot be entertained for a moment .
