Hidden Arthurian Manuscript Found in Medieval Book Binding
Two previously unknown pages from a 13th-century tale of Merlin in Old French and of Arthur in Guinevere’s court were discovered by researchers at Cambridge University Library. Written in Old French, these leaves were discovered bound into another book as its cover. The fragment is from the “Suite Vulgate du Merlin,” a sequel to the Arthurian legend. Roughly three dozen copies of this sequel are believed to exist.
