Following his first exchange of words with the visionary Maiden, the Dreamer of the Middle English Pearl comments, ‘A juel to me þen watʒ þys geste, / And iueleʒ wern hyr gentyl saweʒ’ (277–8),1¹ referring geste apparently to the Maiden. Gordon in his edition of Pearl derives the word from Old Norse gestr and understands it as ‘guest; person that has newly arrived’.2² Andrew and Waldron in their edition likewise translate geste as ‘guest, visitor’, adding the important variant ‘visitant’,3³ which suggests a supernatural visitor.
