194 notes 128 and 131, two originally independent patterns have been combined with this one—the Sibyl's paradise and Caer Seint. [L] 125. A lion's head, serving as the spout of a fountain, is often depicted in medieval art. Cf. R. S. and L. H. Loomis, Arthurian Legends in Medieval Art (New York, 1938), fig. 122 ; R. Koechlin, Ivoires gothiques français (Paris, 1924), Planches, pl. CCXVIII, CCXIX. [L] 126. Chrétien in the Conte del Graal represents Gauvain as plucking an herb from a hedge, taking a woman's wimple, and binding the herb on the wounds of the knight Greoreas. Percevalroman, ed. A. Hilka (Halle, 1932), 11. 6910-61. In the Atre périlleux, we read that Tristran's daughter bound an herb called “toscane" on the wound of Le Lai Hardi. L'Atre périlleux, ed. B. Woledge (Paris, 1936), 11. 6304�30. Cf. also, on use of herbs and salves, M. J. Hughes, Women Healers in Medieval Life and Literature (New York, 1943), pp. 56-58. [L] 127. This separation of beasts and birds by some occult barrier recalls the phenomenon, noted by Geoffrey of Monmouth (ed. A. Griscom [New York, 1929], p. 443) and repeated by many other authors, to the effect that there was a square pool in Scotland containing four kinds of fish in the four corners, and that each kind was found only in its own corner. Cf. also E. Faral, Légende arthurienne (Paris, 1929), II, 262; III, 59, 236. [L] 128. It is almost certain that the name Yblis, Iblis, or Ibelis (MS P, 11. 5379, 9185) is an anagram, coined by Ulrich, for Sibil (e). Since in Wol- fram's Parzival we find Sigune as a name for Parzival's cusine, and Arnive instead of Chrétien's Iverne (Conte del Graal, MS E, 1. 8742), the sub- stitution of anagrams was not unknown to German poets. The vallis yble (or vbele) of 1. 4086 seems likewise to be a misreading of Latin vallis sybile, employed by the author of O. For him the name Sibile would have been most suitable for a heroine since it was a favorite in the highest Anglo-Norman circles. It was borne by Robert Curthose's wife, niece, and son's betrothed ; by one of Henry I's mistresses and by one of his natural daughters, who mar- ried Alexander I of Scotland ; by the daughter of Joce de Dinan (Ludlow) ; by the wife of Payn Fitz John, sheriff of Shropshire and Herefordshire ; and by the mother and a daughter of the famous William Marshal, earl of Pem- broke. The assignment of the name to Lanzelet's inamorata was not, however, due merely to its vogue. Several facts indicate that at an early stage of the Lancelot tradition, before he was established by Chrétien in the role of Guinevere's lover, he was represented as a lover of Morgain la Fée, while other facts show that Morgain was sometimes identified with the Sibyl. We have already seen that the prototype of Ade was Morgain, and Lanzelet had to fight with Ade's uncle, Linier, in order to win her, just as later he
