Welcome to the brand new Arthurian Preservation Project website!
"The only surviving Greek translation of an Arthurian text, Ὁ Πρεσβύς Ἱπποτές (The Old Knight) may date from nearly as early, or perhaps as late as the date of its only surviving manuscript. The Greek text translates part of the first episode of the Rustichello da Pisa's compilation: the Old Knight comes to Arthur’s court and, giving no name, defeats every knight there, including the king. The translation may have been done in Cyprus, in Byzantium, or in Italy."
