[52] Cf.  Scheftelowitz, p. 338.  Haven, Der Gral, has argued that Wolfram’s stone is such a meteoric stone, a Boetylus.  I am not prepared to take up any position as to the exact nature of the stone itself, whether precious stone or meteor; the real point of importance being its Life-giving potency.

CHAPTER X

[1] Elucidation, ll. 4-9 and 12, 13. [2] Potvin, ll. 19933-40.  I quote from Potvin’s edition as more accessible than the MSS., but the version of mons is, on the whole, an inferior one. [3] Potvin, ll. 28108-28. [4] This is to my mind the error vitiating much of Dr Nitze’s later work, e.g., the studies entitled The Fisher-King in the Grail Romances and The Sister’s Son, and the Conte del Graal.

[19] Cf. my Legend of Sir Perceval, Vol.  II. p. 313.  Hepding mentions (op. cit. p. 174) among the sacra of the goddess Phrygium ferrum, which he suggests was the knife from which the Archigallus wounded himself on the ‘Blood’ day.  Thus it is possible that the primitive ritual may have contained a knife.
