This is an important page, but it contains inaccuracies. For example, Micha's 8 volumes do not contain the cycle of 5 romances, but only the Lancelot Proper (3rd of the 5). And Lacy's volumes, listed as critical editions, are instead translations. Njl2 11:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know what language the Vulgate Cycle was originally written in? (the Post-Vulgate Cycle page mentions French; is that true for the Vulgate as well?) VisibleInk 19:11, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Would anyone like to try their hand at summarizing the contents of this work as well as the Post-Vulgate and Prose Tristan? Perhaps with a discussion of their sources and authorship? We could possibly split up the task if anyone is interested. I know there are some articles on JStor about the scholarship behind the cycles. Phi ( talk) 17:29, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Is available on Internet Archive. In the intro, he refers to his previous work, Le Roman de Merlin, which is available on Google. In the intro to Merlin, Sommer says that the manuscripts of the Vulgate Cycle in the British Museum were previously owned by Louis Cesar de La Baume-le-Blanc, duc de la Valliere, related to Louise de la Valliere, the original of the character fictionalized in Dumas' Twenty Years After and Vicomte de Bragelonne. 100.15.138.239 ( talk) 01:10, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Digital images of a number of manuscripts of the Lancelot-Grail are available online at the following locations:
Two British Library manuscripts are fully digitised:
For other manuscripts in the British Library collections, descriptions and images are available in the Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts:
(and many many more actually)
As far as I can tell, the name "Pseudo-Map Cycle" is used extensively, and only, in one work. [1] I was sufficiently intrigued by this that I bought a copy of the book (including postage, it cost less than a pint of pub beer). Carman does not attribute the name "Pseudo-Map Cycle" to anyone else; nor explicitly explain it, though it's clear enough: the cycle, which lacks a better name, has been wrongly attributed to Walter Map. The titles of the 70-odd sources cited by Carman do not use the words "pseudo-" or "cycle", nor, I think, an equivalent in another language.
My view is that a name which has only been used in one source does not warrant a place in the lead of the article. I propose removing it, unless I'm advised otherwise. Maproom ( talk) 17:35, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
"One theory identified the initiator as French queen Eleanor of Aquitaine who would have set up the project already in 1194." She would have been the English not French queen (actually the English queen dowager) at that point....for some five decades (five years as dowager), non? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:3902:B10A:B5C6:5CBC:44FB:99 ( talk) 03:13, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
The links to the Saint-Graal and Lancelot-Graal etc. in external links require Flash which is no longer supported. They should be removed unless and until you can find copies that don't require Flash. 100.15.127.199 ( talk) 20:18, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
