      • found: Hunt, Tony. "Gast, Luce of (supp. fl. c.1230)," in Oxford dictionary of national biography, 2004, viewed online, August 10, 2017("Gast, Luce of (supp. fl. c.1230), supposed writer and translator, appears as knight and lord of the castle of 'Gat' (variously 'Gast,' 'Galt,' 'Gaut,' 'Gant,' 'Gad,' 'Gait') near Salisbury (no identification has ever been made), and as the ostensible translator of the Tristan en prose, according to the prologue contained in many manuscripts of the work ... It is said elsewhere in the work that he abandoned his labours through death and that the completion is due to Hélie de Boron, which appears to be a pseudonym (through the influence of Robert de Boron) representing an entirely fictional person. There is disagreement about what is meant to be credited to Luce and whether or not he existed as a real person ... The Tristan en prose survives in over eighty manuscripts comprising four principal redactions from the period 1240-1340. The earliest form, representing the combination of Luce and Hélie, is dated to c.1230")
