Abstract
In the Castillan Post-Vulgate romance, El baladro del sabio Merlín, Merlin's lust for the Lady of the Lake fundamentally diminishes the enchanter by impairing his prophetic capacity. But the reversal of Vivien's function in Benjamín Jarnés's experimental novel, Viviana y Merlín, shows at least one Arthurian personage to be less than predictable across the ages.
