This text is part of the larger Lancelot-Grail cycle, also known as the Vulgate Cycle, which is a cornerstone of medieval romance literature. The narrative weaves together the legendary tales of King Arthur, his noble knights, and their chivalric quests, with a particular focus on the character of Sir Lancelot.
Antoine Verard's edition of "Lancelot du Lac" is notable for its rich illustrations and elaborate design, which reflect the artistic and cultural milieu of late medieval France. Verard was a prominent figure in the early days of printing, and his works are distinguished by their high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. The "Lancelot du Lac" manuscript is no exception, featuring intricate woodcuts and illuminated initials that enhance the storytelling experience.
