I've read it. Wolfram himself of course makes his grand operatic appearance in Tannhäuser- as the buddy of the much envied eponymous one..

I would assume quite a few people here at least did read it.
Evola talks about it in length in his mystery if the grail and that man is topic here all the time.

Love this book, it kickstarted my development into a true schizo. Started noticing all the symbolic similarities with my life and Parzivals and then I got into alchemy n shiet

>> No.16306045

>>16305967
Le Morte is like a compilation of a bunch Arthurian stories
Parzival is a poem about one story: Parzival and the grail
LM has a grail story that involves Parzival, but is completely different from the German poem

There are also the original french versions
