This project focuses on the Irish adaptation of the French 'Queste del Saint Graal', entitled 'Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhtha', supposedly written between the 14th and 15th centuries. Very few studies focus on the latter, and apart from the modern editor's commentaries, no scholars attempted an in-depth comparison between the French and the Irish texts, the first being the second's supposed source. The distinctive characteristic of the Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhtha lies in the evidence of it being the sole adaptation of already known and wide-spread European Arthurian material. Other vernacular Arthurian texts are found in Ireland and depict similar motifs as in the European Arthurian versions, but in the case of these five vernacular Irish texts we cannot be sure of their ultimate source as opposed to that of the Lorgaireacht. Moreover, the Lorgaireacht presents an unique literary product, as no other adaptations of texts from the Lancelot-Prose Cycle survive in Irish. One can infer from this that it had an important status in the eyes of the compiler to be given such attention. The religious aspect of the French text is even more prominent in the Irish text, and the first purpose of its adaptation resides in its didactic message and examples of good Christian behaviour. Through the examination of the Irish and French manuscript tradition of these texts, this study aims to look at the source of the adaptation and try to understand how an Irish adaptation of a French Arthurian text was made possible. Considering the highly important influence of the French language and culture in Ireland since the second half of the 12th century, and the archaic features that the text presents, an earlier composition date cannot be disregarded, and evidence for this will be examined as well. Furthermore, the study aims to look at the exegesis present in the Irish text and compare it to the French and English texts, the latter of which was composed by Thomas Mallory during the 15th century. This overview of the Irish exegesis will provide us with an understanding of the adaptation process of the Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhtha.

该项目的重点是爱尔兰对法语“Queste del Saint Graal”的改编，题为“Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhtha”，据说写于 14 世纪和 15 世纪之间。很少有研究关注后者，除了现代编辑的评论之外，没有学者尝试对法国文本和爱尔兰文本进行深入比较，第一个文本是第二个文本的假定来源。 《Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhtha》的显着特征在于它是对已知且广泛传播的欧洲亚瑟王材料的唯一改编。在爱尔兰发现了其他亚瑟王白话文本，描绘了与欧洲亚瑟王版本类似的主题，但就这五种爱尔兰白话文本而言，我们无法确定它们的最终来源，而不是《洛盖里赫特》。此外，《Lorgaireacht》呈现了一种独特的文学作品，因为兰斯洛特散文循环中的文本没有其他改编版本在爱尔兰语中保存下来。由此可见，它在编译器眼中具有重要的地位，受到如此重视。法语文本的宗教方面在爱尔兰文本中更为突出，其改编的首要目的在于其说教信息和良好基督教行为的例子。通过检查这些文本的爱尔兰和法国手稿传统，本研究旨在探究改编的来源，并试图了解爱尔兰对法国亚瑟王文本的改编是如何成为可能的。考虑到自 12 世纪下半叶以来法语和文化对爱尔兰的极其重要的影响，以及文本所呈现的古老特征，更早的写作日期不能被忽视，这方面的证据也将受到审查。此外，该研究旨在研究爱尔兰文本中的注释，并将其与法语和英语文本进行比较，后者由托马斯·马洛里 (Thomas Mallory) 在 15 世纪撰写。对爱尔兰释经的概述将使我们了解 Lorgaireacht an tSoidhigh Naomhtha 的改编过程。
