Herewith begins the history of

the birth and of the triumphing of

the great legend about Manuel the

Redeemer, whom Gonfal repudiated

as blown dust, and Miramon, as an

impostor, and whom Coth repudiated

out of honest love: but whom Guivric

accepted, through two sorts of

policy; whom Kerin accepted as an

honorable old human foible, and

Ninzian, as a pathetic and serviceable

joke; whom Donander accepted

whole-heartedly (to the eternal joy

of Donander), and who was accepted

also by Niafer, and by Jurgen the

Pawnbroker, after some little private

reservations: and hereinafter

is recorded the manner of the

great legend’s engulfment

of these persons.
