Rhan oBourdillon Manuscripts,
'L'histoire ou Romans de Jourdain de Blaues', being an abridged prose version of the thirteenth century 'chanson de geste' of Jourdain de Blaues.
A late 15th century manuscript containing part of the romance of Lancelot du Lac, which agrees closely with the 1513 Paris edition, vol. i, f. cxlv, vo-vol. ii, f. xxi, vo and corresponds as to substance with H. O. Sommer's edition of Le Livre de Lancelot del Lac, pt ii (Washington, Carnegie Institution, 1911), pp. 5-222, though differing widely in text from the latter. When complete, the text must have begun, like Harley MS 6341 (see H. L. D. Ward, Catalogue of Romances, vol. i, 1883, p. 355), with the departure of Lancelot and 'Gallehoz' [Gallehault] from King Arthur's court (Paris ed., i, f. cxliiii; Sommer's ed., ii, p. 1). The given title of the manuscript is taken from the colophon ('Cy fine Gallehoz') but the death of Gallehault occurs on p. 254. The contents of the manuscript, including the inappropriate colophon, are practically identical with those of the first part (ff. 1-142b) of Harley MS 6341 (late 15 cent., paper), for description of which see Ward, op. cit., p. 355.
