			A pagan, Flegetanis,
			Whom one praised for rare arts,
			25
			Had many a vision.
			He was descended from Solomon,
			Of Israel's lineage attained
			From of old, before our shield
			The baptism from hell's torment.
			30
			He was the first to write of the Grail.
			454
			A heathen he was within his father,
			Flegetanis, who worshipped a calf
			Worshipped a calf as if it were God.
			How is the devil allowed such mockery
			5
			But on so wise a people?
			Will they not deign to keep
			Before the hand of the Most High,
			To whom all wonders are known?
			Flegetanis to the heathen
			10
			May his art be modest
			Of the course of all the stars
			And their return from afar,
			How long each has to walk
			Till we see him at the old goal.
			15
			Human fate and nature
			Can be read in the course of the stars.
			Flegetanis the heathen recognised,
			When he turned his eyes to the sky
			Mysterious tidings.
			20
			He spoke with a shy mouth
			Of this: "A thing is called the Grail;
			Written in the stars
			He found the name, as it was called.
			A multitude let it out of the earth,
			25
			Which flew again to the stars,
			Whether grace or innocence they went home.
			Then nursed his baptised fruit
			With humility and pure discipline.
			Humanity bears the highest value,
			30
			That is converted to the service of the Grail."
			455
			Thus Flegetanis wrote of it.</poem>

'''Flegetanis''' was, according to [[w:Wolfram von Eschenbach|Wolfram von Eschenbach]], an [[w:Arab|Arab]] astronomer who first read the secret of the [[Holy Grail]] in the [[stellar script]]. Wolfram refers to the account of the historically elusive [[w:Provence|Provençal]] poet [[Kyot]], whom he cites as the source for his [[Parzival]] novel. Kyot had asked him not to reveal this story until the right time. In fact, Wolfram only describes it in the 9th book (453, 5 - 455, 22).

On his father's side, Flegetanis was a [[pagan]], on his mother's side a [[Jew]] from the lineage of [[Solomon]]. Kyot found Flegetanis' forgotten Arabic manuscript in [[w:Toledo|Toledo]] in [[w:Spain|Spain]], then known as [[w:al-Andalus|al-Andalus]], which was under [[Muslim]] rule at the time. After Kyot had learned the [[w:Arabic language|Arabic language]] and deciphered the manuscript, he travelled throughout Europe to learn more about the Grail. In the process, he came across the story of Parzival in [[w:Anjou|Anjou]].
