CHAPTER X

THE QUESTE VERSIONS

Comparison of texts continued--Dutch _Lancelot_--French 1533--Malory--Welsh _Queste_--Dr. Furnivall's _Queste_--Dr. Sommer's summary 166-185

Conclusion--General agreement of the first four against the last two--The former representing a superior family of texts--Malory's source an _Agravain-Queste_ MS. belonging to same family as 1533 and Dutch translation--No proof that Malory knew earlier section of _Lancelot_ 185-188

Variations of _Queste_ MSS. apparently due to copyist rather than to compiler--The romance a _Lancelot_, rather than a _Grail_, romance 188-193
