The anonymous prose romance of Perceforest with lyrical interludes of poetry, in six books, appears to have been composed in French in the Low Countries between 1330 and 1344. It forms a late addition to the cycle of narratives with loose connections both to the Arthurian cycle and to the feats of Alexander the Great.The Manuscript C, written by David Aubert around 1459–1460 for Philippe le Bon, Duc de Bourgogne, is the most complete of the four manuscripts known to us. Written in more or less 531 chapters, Perceforest pretends to give us a Genesis of the Arthurian World.
