Description
Griffin's curiosity about the mysterious bowl grew out of his interest in Arthurian and other medieval legends, and was sparked by a document on its possible history. He works in an academic library (U. of Tennessee) but soon exhausted the resources there, and turned to the Internet which proved as abundant in information as the Grail is said to be in grace. He discusses the legend, historical aspects behind it, and the legitimacy of claims by several...

"Some fifty years before Chretien de Troyes wrote what is probably the first and certainly the most influential story of the Holy Grail, images of the Virgin Mary with a simple but radiant bowl (called a "grail" in the local dialect) appeared in churches in the Spanish Pyrenees.
