	LYONNESSE-COMMENTS AND PRONUNCIATION

		Roger Sherman Loomis is probably the doyen of Arthurian scholars.
		Loomis features completeness, an unbiased approach, and a lucid writing style that brings the confusion into focus.
		I have several of Loomis's more scholarly works (most of which have sadly gone out of print) but this is really the most accessible of the bunch.

		The first, championed by Roger Sherman Loomis, Alfred Nutt, and Jessie Weston, holds that it derived from early Celtic myth and folklore.

	Vespasian, from Lundy, Isle of Avalon by Mystic Realms
		When Joseph expounded the doctrines of the Fall and the Redemption, Vespasian was convinced and delivered the prisoner." - Roger Sherman Loomis, The Grail, From Celtic Myth to Christian Symbol
		Vespasian was a comparatively humble Roman officer commanding the Second Augusta Legion in Britain at about the time when St. Joseph of Arimathea would have arrived in this island, so it is just possible that a meeting did take place.
		"According to the Vindicta Salvatoris Vespasian, son of the Roman emperor, was converted as a result of the miraculous cure effected by the sight of Veronica's veil, in which was imprinted the face of Christ.

		Roger Sherman Loomis is regarded as one of the most prolific and important scholars ever to deal with the Arthurian legend, and he is known principally as the foremost proponent of theories concerning the influence of Celtic legend and literature on Arthurian lore.
		Although certainly somewhat dated, Studies is nonetheless an excellent resource simply due to the amount of data on fairy mythology and Arthurian lore that Paton has compiled, cross-referenced, and analyzed, especially for those interested in Morgan le Fay in all of her myriad appeareances within the lore.
		By construing Arthurian legend somewhat loosely, so as to allow the term to also include other material more or less closely associated with Arthur and his court, it is possible to use Welsh literature as a lens by which to illuminate the Arthurian legend.

	Belenos
		He is also thought, by Roger Sherman Loomis, to be the origin of the Arthurian figure of Pellinor, father of Percivale (Perceval).
		The Gaulish (continental Celtic) god of light, specifically the sun, it is thought, as Lugos/Lugh/Lleu is also a god of light, though not necessarily of the sun, as the sun in insular mythology is often called Grainne, a feminine name, and thus the sun is conjectured to be a goddess.
		While Belenus is referred to as Apollo and Belatucadros as Mars, the interpretatio romana should not be a stumbling block when one sees the similarities.

	O. J. Padel, Arthur in Medieval Welsh Literature
		In his now classic bibliographic survey Arthurian Literature in the Middle Ages: A Collaborative History, Roger Sherman Loomis devotes a chapter to Celtic Arthurian literature.
		Padel establishes right at the start that his subject is the Arthur of Welsh literature, that is, Arthur as a literary and mythological character, thus neatly side-stepping the thorny knots of recent historical studies.
		Padel, a lecturer in Celtic Languages and Literature in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic at the University of Cambridge, provides a concise, scholarly, and even-handed survey of Arthurian Welsh literature, from the earliest reference (c.
