+ | The manuscript prop, known as "Grail Knight's book" measures 32 x 25 x 6 cm. An examination of the text on the page shown indicates that the prop is likely not a Bible as it uses the word Kamaalot (the old French word for [[Camlann|Camelot]]) twice, indicating that perhaps it is a book of [[Artorius|Arthurian]] tales. The text on the bottom half of the left-side page is identical to the text on the bottom half of the right-side page, though the illuminated letters are painted differently. The first line of each page is also the same text. <ref>''[[From Star Wars To Indiana Jones - The Best of the Lucasfilm Archives]]''</ref> |
Correspondence with Lucasfilm staff yielded this resolution: The book should be a Bible, though the prop itself re-uses text from the prop of the [[Friar's manuscript]], which used text from an Arthurian romance in Old French. The prop was not designed to be scrutinized. Additional support for this is shown in the film as the Knight is shown kneeling while he is reading, as in prayer. |
