Rare King Arthur Manuscript to be Auctioned After 700 Years in Private Hands

Rare King Arthur Manuscript to be Auctioned After 700 Years in Private Hands

A medieval manuscript featuring early tales of King Arthur and Merlin, known as the Clermont-Tonnerre Grail, is set to be auctioned by Christie's in July. This illuminated manuscript, dating from the 13th or 14th century, has been privately held for approximately 700 years and is expected to fetch up to $2.7 million. The manuscript contains Old French text from the Lancelot-Grail cycle and includes 126 gold-leaf illustrations. It is considered one of the earliest documents narrating the legend of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail. The manuscript has never been publicly exhibited or extensively studied, making it a significant find for collectors and historians alike.
