About the Name: Lapis Exillis
The name for the documentary, Lapis Exillis, was selected for three basic reasons:
An inscribed stone was introduced in Eschenbach’s, Parzival, with the name: Lapsit Exillis, the same stone the author termed “thegrail”;
A stone artifact surfaced in the hands of Nicholas Roerich which he called “Lapis exilis” (August 24 entry in Roerich's published travel diary titled Alti-Himalaya);
The Latin name, Exillis, suggests the traveling and exiled status of the artifact about which the documentary was created. Lapis means stone in Latin.
With the exception of one tangled truth, 'grail' lore is the geatest illusion of Western history. This documentary explores that one truth.
"I know well that many knights to Munsalwäscheat Mica live. If they ride out, and they often do, it is for adventure, wherever these Tempars receive victory or defeat... I will tell you by what they live: they live with a stone, a kind of the very purest. If you do not know it by name, I will name it for you. It is called: Lapsit exillis... The stone is also called the Grail ..."
