Paulin Paris was led to conjecture that the current title of the romance became attached to it through some misunderstanding ... [in footnote:] He, consequently, always calls the romance Guiron le Courtois, since Guiron is the most prominent character in the book, and many scholars have followed him") v. 2, page 22 ("In any event, at an early date, the work was divided into two parts, known, respectively, as Meliadus de Leonnoys and Guiron le Courtois, which in the sixteenth century were printed as separate romances. The author of Palamedes is unknown, for the ascription to a pretended Helie [or Hélie de Boron], which occurs in the prologue [of certain manuscript versions], is, without doubt, fraudulent")

"Palamedes," in New Arthurian encyclopedia, 1991, page 352("Palemedes, a French prose romance of the thirteenth century, predating the cyclic version of the prose Tristan. The work, which is anonymous (although attributed in the prologue to Elie, or Hélie, de Borron), is preserved as part of the Compilation of Rusticiano da Pisa and, in fragmentary form, in several manuscripts. The full title of the work (according to some manuscripts) identifies its heroes as Palamedes, Meliadus (the father of Tristan), and Guiron le Courtois. The last two of them play prominent roles, respectively, in the two halves of the romance; in fact, the two parts of the work could be--and often were--considered to be independent texts, and the titles Meliadus and Guiron (or Gyron) le Courtois were attached to them")
