Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-14 00:00:00 William York Obi-Wan Kenobi, Gandolf, and countless other variations of the earliest figure of Merlyn are spoken of in Merlin Through the Ages: A Chronological Anthology and Source Book edited by E. J. Stewart and John Matthews, David Spangler. Merlin is ur-man of nature: spiritual and material, civil and wild. This early man of magic controls his will, knows mysteries, moves raw energy; he studies and masters man and nature. This essential reference sweeps a long corridor through our current time.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-26 00:00:00 Stephen Kobak Not a bad rendition of Arthurian material, but not a particularly interesting version either. Containing no remarkable variations from the story as given in the French Lancelot-Grail cycle (the most important continental iteration of the Arthurian material found here), and comprising only a small portion of the Death of Arthur arc along with some introductory material about Arthur's birth, really the only thing of note about the Hebrew Arthurian Romance is that it exists - that a mediaeval Italian Jew decided to translate an Italian Arthur-romance into Hebrew, though he didn't get very far with it.
