Merlin’s Hidden Words: Early Arthurian Tale Discovered in a Binding

A breath of magic moves through the Cambridge library:
Researchers discovered a hidden fragment of the ancient Merlin and Arthur legend in the binding of a register book, written around 1250.
The modest parchment turned out to be a valuable part of the "Vulgate Merlin", one of the most important medieval sources for the Arthurian legend.

The scenes?
The battle between King Arthur and King Claudas - full of symbolism, courage, and magic.
A strikingly beautiful man in a tunic, holding a harp, adorned with gold and precious stones - perhaps Merlin himself?

What once served merely as binding material reveals today:
A forgotten chapter of the royal art.

The reconstructed pages can now be viewed digitally and are a key to the spiritual depth of European mythology.
Perhaps it was no accident that Merlin’s words remained hidden for 700 years...
