Less and more. And also different? About the version of Die Riddere metter Mouwen in the Lancelot Compilation
The Dutch Arthurian romance Die Riddere metter Mouwen (‘The Knight with the Sleeve’), preserved in the Lancelot Compilation, has been adapted to suit this huge cycle. Beyond abridging the story, causing some lack of clarity, the compiler also added several episodes of his own making, causing inconsistencies in the modified romance. The main intervention of the compiler may have been a partial reshuffling of episodes, enabling him to insert new subject matter. But as long as no authentic and full version of the romance will be found, this theory, plausible as it is, cannot be proved true.
