Joseph d’Arimathie was supposed to be the history of the Grail, with Joseph of Arimathea as the main character. If you want to read more about background about Robert de Boron, then I would suggest you read Robert de Boron and the Didot Perceval. So we don’t have the content of Perceval, but both medieval and modern scholars have speculate that the Didot Perceval (1205) may have translated Boron’s verse to prose adaptation. The rest of the poem (Merlin) was missing, including the death of wizard. Merlin is fragmented, beginning with the incredible birth of Merlin and ended with Arthur being accepted as king, after drawing the sword (Excalibur?) out of the stone. The other two works were called Merlin and Perceval.

Joseph d’Arimathie was first tale of a trilogy. It was written by a Swiss-French poet, named Robert de Boron. This story is taken from a work, titled Joseph d’Arimathie (c. Genealogy: House of Perceval (Chretien de Troyes’ version) Note, that originally I wasn’t going to do a Vulgate version, but there are a number of different between Boron’s and the Vulgate version that I merited that the two stories should be told. The Estoire de Saint Graal was actually based mostly on the original trilogy of the Vulgate romances namely the Lancelot Propre and the Queste del Saint Graal. Robert de Boron actually made some major additional events to Chretien’s Grail romance, as well as to the early history of King Arthur, based on Geoffrey of Monmouth’s work.Īs you will see after reading both legends, you will find that the Vulgate romance was only based loosely on Boron’s original. Here, you will find two different versions about Joseph of Arimathea and the origin of the Holy Grail – the original poem by Robert de Boron and the later Vulgate version on the history of the Grail, written by unknown author or authors.
