		Parzival is going into the very heart of ceremony and "form", but yet he too has finally fulfilled his "function" in life.

		Lindsay Clarke's Parzival and the Stone from Heaven is a hypnotic retelling of the medieval romance of the quest for the Holy Grail.
		Brought up by a mother crazed with grief at the death of her chivalrous husband on the battlefield, Parzival is initially ignorant of his destiny as a knight who must search for the Holy Grail and unite it with the earth.
		As Parzival's swashbuckling adventures lead him from ignorance and wounding to insight and healing, he meets King Arthur, the Gawain Knight and the mysterious Fisherman, the failed guardian of the Grail.

	Wolfram von Eschenbach: Parzival [1-127]
		We hear of Parzival’s childhood in the wilderness, his meetings with the knights, his departure for Arthur’s court, his killing of the Red Knight, his education by Gurnemans, rescue of Conduir-amour (called Blancheflur by Chrétien) and marriage to her, and his unsuccessful visit to the Grail castle.
		Parzival also starts out as untutored, but he is innocent, not stupid.
		Parzival’s sorrow over the dead bird reflects the essential tenderness of his nature which is inhibited later by the knightly instruction he receives.

	PARZIVAL - Wolfram Eschenbach - Penguin Group (New Zealand) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Composed in the early thirteenth century, Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival is the re-creation and completion of the story left unfinished by its initiator Chretien de Troyes.
		It follows Parzival from his boyhood and career as a knight in the court of King Arthur to his ultimate achievement as King of the Temple of the Grail, which Wolfram describes as a life-giving Stone.
		As a knight serving the German nobility in the imperial Hohenstauffen period, the author was uniquely placed to describe the zest and colour of his hero's world, with dazzling depictions of courtly luxury, jousting and adventure.

		It is interesting to note, however, that Gournemans does not dismiss Parzival without elaborating on the theme of conjugal love: “man und wîp diu sint al ein; / als diu sunn diu hiute schein, / und ouch der name der heizet tac.
		Parzival is, of course, referring to God, and his remarks are blasphemous.
		The Parzival manuscripts also contain the readings ‘lapsit exillis,’ that is, ‘lapis ex coelis,’ stone from heaven.

	Lindsay Clarke - Parzival and the Stone from Heaven
		Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival was originally written in German verse, but even in translation its dense and gnomic style render it almost inaccessible to a wide audience.
		Parzival is a story about renewal, the kind of renewal that comes when, and only when, apparently irreconcilable powers are brought to reconciliation – when contradictions have received their full expression, fought each other to a standstill, then reperceived one another, no longer as hostile opposites but as polar complements.
		In response to Lindsay Clarke’s Parzival and the Stone from Heaven, the Film Director John Boorman wrote: ‘It is as though you have had access to inspired revelation.

	German Medieval Literature: Parzival
		Parzival takes this combination of inner and outer development to a new height in the medieval epic, however, by interweaving both levels and mirroring the outer courtly development with the inner education of the spirit.
		Herzeloyde's reminder that Parzival should seek out the favor of a lady and win her kiss and her broach), others touch more of a spiritual mindset ("irn sult niht vil gefrâgen," with its disastrous consequences, is less a societal commandment than an indication of the peaceful, reserved, and self-sufficient intellect which Parzival will eventually develop).
		As Parzival passes through these stations, he continues in his efforts to become a good courtly knight, complete with armor, horse, battle-readiness, and courtly art and manners, while at the same time he is gradually developing the moral and ethical qualities -- compassion, truthfulness, intelligence, steadfastness -- needed for his future position as Gralsritter.

	Parzival-Projekt: English Presentation
		Karl Lachmann's Parzival edition of 1833 formed the standard basis for interpretation for generations of Germanists, but recent scholarship is agreed upon the necessity for a new edition, and has become increasingly discontented with working with a text that is generally acknowledged to be in need of revision.
		A new critical edition of Parzival will have to come to terms with the abundance of variant readings and the not inconsiderable problems of establishing a text against the methodological background of the polarity of New Philology and New Phylogeny.
		The screen presentation (produced by using the programme Collate) shows in the upper left window a normalised text, based on the main manuscript D. In the lower left window is the apparatus of variants relating to this text.

	Parzival: The Quest of the Grail Knight
		Parzival's mother has kept her sheltered son from knowing about knights, but when Parzival runs into three on a road, he can't be content until he is one.
		Parzival perhaps understands such commands as "Thou Shalt Not Kill" best--when defeating a foe, he gives them a chance to redeem themselves, and beats himself up mentally when he does something careless.

		Parzival leads the in-it-I-ates to a cage in the garden, where crouches Hugin, Raven of Thought, trapped in a small cage, so that when he tries to stretch his piano-accordian wings, he fails to sing and only squawks, fed coins like a broken machine stuck in a loop.

	Chalice of Ecstasy
		Parzival - The Pure Fool - is in that condition mentioned by Lao Tze "His desires having as yet given no indication of their presence." The crucial test is whether when they are aroused for the first time he will use them rightly or wrongly.
		Parzival, whose desires have as yet given no indication of their presence, has by this time arrived at the wall of the garden.
		Meanwhile, Parzival sits wondering at the marked change in Kundry, at her now humble attitude, so different from her former perversity; while Gurnemanz performs a further office in the ceremony of Purification by sprinkling the head of Parzival with the water from the Holy Spring.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Parzival
		Books VII and VIII are devoted to his exploits, distinct from Parzival’s yet in many ways echoing them and running parallel with them, though on a very different, more worldly and sometimes light-hearted level.
		Parzival’s development as a knight must be matched by his deeper development as a man, his understanding of the place of God in his life and his recognition of his own spirituality.
		He receives guidance in Book IX from the hermit Trevrizent, his maternal uncle, who, in a profound conversation characterised by the art of gradual revelation favoured by Wolfram throughout the poem, imparts to Parzival the actual information and more abstract teaching he is uniquely equipped to give him.

		Parzival gelangt trotzdem an den Hof und überbringt dem König eine Botschaft des Roten Ritters, der sich rühmt, einen goldenen Becher Arturs gestohlen zu haben und der damit einen der Ritter Arturs zum Zweikampf herausfordert.
		Nicht zu fragen wirkt sich allerdings in der Folge für Parzival schrecklich aus.
