The paper deals with Arabic objects, names and concepts in Wolfram’s main novel. It shows that oriental components of the text such as the grail, planet names, the Prester John or the asserted source of Kyot prove to be a product of eastern contacts and imagination. The manuscript transmission reflects this fact in the way it adds alterations and ornamental decorations to the text.
