Perlesvaus, also called Li Hauz Livres du Graal (The High Book of the Grail), is an Old French Arthurian romance from the 13th century. It purports to be a continuation of Chrétien de Troyes' unfinished Perceval, the Story of the Grail, but contains striking differences from other versions as well as other Arthurian romances more generally.
== Synopsis == Perlesvaus presents itself as a translation of a Latin source found in Avalon as narrated by the mysterious Josephus (possibly the same as the scribe monk Josephus from the Estoire de Merlin). It follows a highly complex narrative chronicling the progress of various Knights of the Round Table in their quest for the Holy Grail.
