		Alfred Nutt has already shown this to be true of a special Section of Romance literature, that connected with the Holy Grail, and it seems probable that further study will extend the field of application of this new method of research.

		Nutt informs me that parodies of the Irish sagas occur as early as the sixteenth century, and the present tale may be regarded as a specimen.

		Alfred Nutt refers to the incidence of the reincarnation of immortals, of Gods, into or back into human form (125).
		In particular Dr. Nutt is referring to Mongan, who in other tales is called Finn, as Mongan is said to be the reincarnation of Finn.

		Alfred Nutt for constant supervision over my selection and over my comments upon it.

	How Sir Thomas Malory Misunderstood the Grail -- Essay at LiteratureClassics.com
		In Malory, “the Grail quest is not connected in any way with the healing of this Lame King” (Nutt 83).
		The point of the quest is directed to Galahad’s gaining of the Grail; the old Celtic emphasis on the land is no longer relevant to Malory’s audience, who would likely have been the aristocracy, the clergy, and possibly the emerging merchant class of England (Benson 18-21).

		Other authors covering similar ground include Alfred Nutt in "The Aryan Expulsion and Return Formula in the Folk and Hero Tales of the Celts" and Jan de Vries in Heroic Song and Heroic Legend (1963).
		Another source notes that it could actually be the birth that is unusual while Nutt is more clear and simply says there will be tokens of the hero's future greatness.
		De Vries and Nutt both add to this by making a point that Raglan misses: the hero dies young.

	Doctrine of Rebirth (Section II Chapter VII) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		HOWEVER much the conception of the Otherworld among the ancient Greeks may have differed from that among the Celts, it was to both peoples alike inseparably connected with their belief in re-birth.
		This aspect of the Celtic Doctrine of Re-birth has been clearly set forth by the publications of such eminent Celtic folk-lorists as Alfred Nutt and Miss Eleanor Hull.
		Not only are their pedigrees traced up to the Tuatha De Danann, but there are indications in the birth-stories of nearly all the principal personages that they are looked upon simply as divine beings reborn on the human plane of

		Thus the Dish, which is sometimes the form assumed by the Grail itself, at other times appears as a tailléor, or a carving platter of silver, carried in the same procession as the Grail; or there may be to small tailléors; finally, a Sword appears in varying rôles in the story.
		As Mr Nutt subsequently pointed out, the 'Treasures' may well be, Sword and Cauldron certainly are, 'Life' symbols.
		But we have further evidence that these four objects do, in fact, form a special group entirely independent of any appearance in Folk-lore or Romance.

	TITANIA, THE QUEEN OF FAERIE
		The setting of our tale in the illustrious court of Arthur, King of Britain, is in keeping with the fairy spirit of the day, for only twenty years prior to its publication, A Midsummer-Night's Dream had given audiences a glimpse of the splendid fairy court of Titania and Oberon.
		As Alfred Nutt so astutely observes in his writings on The Fairy Mythology of Shakespeare, "It is evident that Shakespeare derived both the idea of a fairy realm reproducing the external aspect of a mediaeval court, and also the name of his fairy king from mediaeval romance, that is from the Arthurian cycle."

	Baudiš - On Tochmarc Emere
		IT is well known that Irish sagas abound in motives which are still current in modern folk tales.
		The late Alfred Nutt contended (Fians xviii.) that 'Sagas recorded in writing from the seventh to the fifteenth centuries presuppose a background of traditional fancies, beliefs, and conceptions of the same essential character as those still current.' He mentions especially Tochmarc Emere and Tochmarc Eláine.
		It would be worth while, however, to consider how these traditions were worked into the saga; to note, for instance, how Tochmarc Emere was compiled from different motives.

	Chapter VI: Tales of the Ossianic Cycle
		But the cycle lasted in a condition of vital growth for a thousand years, right down to Michael Comyn's "Lay of Oisin in the Land of Youth," which was composed about 1750, and which ended the long history of Gaelic literature.
		Alfred Nutt has pointed out, a literary problem of the greatest interest; and one which no critic has yet attempted to solve, or, indeed, until quite lately, even to call attention to.
		For though these two attempts to represent, in imaginative and artistic form, the contact of paganism with Christianity are nearly identical in machinery and framework, save that one is in verse and the other in prose, yet they differ widely in their point of view.

		There are two schools of thought concerning the Grail's origin.
		The first, championed by Roger Sherman Loomis, Alfred Nutt, and Jessie Weston, holds that it derived from early Celtic myth and folklore.
		Loomis traced a number of parallels between Medieval Welsh literature and Irish material and the Grail romances, including similarities between the Mabinogion's Bran the Blessed and the Arthurian Fisher King, and between Bran's life-restoring cauldron and the Grail.
