Ireland and the Grail
by John Carey
This is the first book-length study of the origins of the Grail legend to have been undertaken by a specialist in medieval Irish literature. Drawing on a detailed reexamination of the relevant texts in Irish, Welsh, Latin and French, extensive sections of which are presented in new translations, the author argues that the roots of the Grail legend are to be sought in the lost Old Irish manuscript known as the Book of Druimm Snechtai. 396p, b/w illus, maps, 1 tbl. (CSP 11, Celtic Studies Publications 2007)
