''Joseph of Arimathie Otherwise Called The Romance of the Seint Graal or Holy Grail'' is a book written by Reverend Walter W. Skeat. It is a retelling of the legend of the Holy Grail, which tells the story of Joseph of Arimathie, the man who is said to have taken the body of Jesus down from the cross and who is also believed to have been the keeper of the Holy Grail. The book is written in Middle English and is considered one of the most important works of Arthurian literature. The story follows the quest of the knights of King Arthur’s court as they search for the Holy Grail, a mythical object believed to have the power to heal all wounds and grant eternal life. Along the way, they face many challenges and obstacles, including battles with dragons and other mythical creatures. The book is a fascinating look at medieval literature and the enduring legend of the Holy Grail.1871. An alliterative poem written about A.D. 1350 and now first printed from the unique copy in the Vernon MS. at Oxford. With an appendix, containing The Life of Joseph of Armathy, reprinted from the black-letter copy of Wynkyn de Word; De Sancto Joseph AB Arimathia, first printed by Pynson A.D. 1516; and The Life of Joseph of Armathia, first printed by Pynson A.D. 1520. The alliterative tradition is one of the most significant in medieval English poetry. This poem contains the earlier portion of The History of the Holy Graal, which tells of Joseph of Arimathie and how he brought the holy vessel to England and of his adventures at the court of Evalak, King of Sarras, with the episode of King Evalak’s shield.
