		Perceval says he began to sob, but all feeling stopped, he realized later, as his mind alighted briefly on his mother, with her two moods of "amorous and punitive."

	The prose romance of Perceval
		In both manuscripts in which the prose Perceval or Didot Perceval is found, it is preceded by a prose version of the poem Joseph d'Arimathie by Robert de Boron and by a prose Merlin which is an obvious sequel to the Joseph.
		The prose Perceval is as obviously a continuation of the Merlin as the Merlin is of the Joseph.
		On the other hand, the prose Perceval may be the work of a continuator of the two compositions of Robert de Boron-the Joseph and the lost original Merlin poem-some unknown author who set out to complete the de Boron cycle with a prose Perceval and a brief Mort Artu.

	Perceval, or, the Story of the Grail
		However, the original tale goes as follows: Perceval is raised alone in the woods by his mother, in order to keep him from being a knight.
		What is interesting about Perceval, aside from the obvious elements as the mysterious Grail and its unfinished status, is the inclusion of Gawain as an alternate hero throughout the romance.
		He acts in contrast to the naïve Perceval; his knowledge of courtly behavior and chivalric feats is unparalleled in the romance.

	Amazon.com: Perceval (Sub): Video: Eric Rohmer,Fabrice Luchini,André Dussollier,Solange Boulanger,Catherine ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Perceval is a lovely and loving odyssey into the very nature of stories and storytelling, and one of the most original and unique visions in modern cinema.
		For example, a damsel spoke directly to Perceval and then faced the camera and announced "she led him to her room." This sort of shift to third person was distracting and frequent.
		Rohmer's Perceval is too callow to engender much viewer sympathy, and only begins to show signs of growth near the very end of the film, when it's too late (for the viewer, anyway!).

		Perceval is thought of as a great knight that was the only one of the many knights that was skilled enough and tough enough to make the journey to achieve the resting place of the Grail.
		During Percevalís time it was thought of as an extremely important religious item because Christís blood had been shed in it and it was used at the Last Supper.
		People are especially interested in the development of such a knight as Perceval that could have overcome such a quest and have been the only successful knight of anytime that was actually able to achieve the one and only Holy Grail.

	PopMatters Books Feature \| Worlds of Their Own: Winter Photography Books From Perceval Press
		Perceval's titles are mainly photography, painting, and otherwise arts-related; however, Mortensen's decidedly fervent political bent and vocal opposition to the war is reflected in not only the bloggery displayed on the press website, but also in some of its previous releases.
		Clearly, Perceval is an indie press with a unique angle: serious about providing a venue for artists that might otherwise remain unpublished, and yet equally if not more determined to give that same opportunity to political opinions of comparable subversion.
		Perceval takes all of the benefits of an indie press and magnifies them to the greatest possible degree.

		Even so, Perceval had great difficulty in filling Cabinet posts: consequently he was also Chancellor of the Exchequer since he could find no-one to fill the position.

		And Perceval said to him: "Then tell me why you bore away my brach and who the knight was with whom I was combating when you took it from me, and whether or not you know the old woman who informed me of the tomb.
