The Holy Grail of Holy Grail Sites

When I arrived there, this is what I read: "Blessed reader, you've done it. You've just stumbled across the Holy Grail of blogs." Christopher Bailey and Mike Aquilina started this blog to help promote their book of the same name. But this site is more than just a blog - it's a virtual library of Grail Lore. Going to the Scriptorium Link takes the reader to a great resource page, some of the links go to online documents, others point to books. The most poetic work linked from the site is probably the "Alliterative Morte Arthure" on the University of Rochester Library page. Written in middle-English, translations are provided in the right margin (wisse=teach, warp = utter). I love the beginning: Here beginnes Morte Arthure. In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen pur Charite. Amen. Now grete glorious God through grace of Himselven And the precious prayer of his pris Moder Sheld us fro shamesdeede and sinful workes And give us grace to guie and govern us here In this wretched world, through virtuous living That we may kaire til his court, the kingdom of heven When our soules shall part and sunder fro the body Ever to beld and to bide in bliss with Himselven; And wisse me to warp out some word at this time That nother void be ne vain but worship til Himselven Plesand and profitable to the pople that them heres. There an English translation of "Quest of the Holy Grail" on the site also. I have no doubt that our Merlin will be spending some time over yonder. I'll be banging some coconuts alongside him, no doubt.
