Johannes Glastoniensis
Johannes Glastoniensis (German also Johannes von Glastonbury , English John of Glastonbury ) was an English historian who wrote a chronicle of Glastonbury ( Antiquitates Glastoniensis ) in the first half of the 15th century .
According to John, Joseph of Arimathea and his son of the same name, along with many others, brought the Holy Grail to Glastonbury in Great Britain, "which is now called fishing", to the hermitage of Walwanus, where Galaat ( Galahad ), son of Lancelot , finally found him .
Philip, an apostle from Gaul, sent twelve of his followers to Britain to convert the locals. They crossed the Channel on King Solomon's ship and found Joseph of Arimathea at Glastonbury. He was also buried at Glastonbury.
The chronicle of Johannes Glastoniensis describes, among other things, Arthur's visit to the chapel of St. Austin , which is later taken up in Perlesvaus . John reports that Arthur brought a crystal cross to Glastonbury, which is still kept there (quae, usque in hunc diem, de dono ejusdem regis, in thesauria Glastoniae honorifice collocatur et custoditur) .
