Los orígenes del Grial en las leyendas artúricas: interpretaciones cristianas y visiones simbólicas

Abstract

El presente artículo describe en síntesis los orígenes y desarrollo literario posterior del tema Grial, desde las primeras leyendas artúricas. Pese a sus posibles inicios paganos, el Grial pronto es identificado con el Santo Cáliz de la Última Cena, lo que imprime un carácter religioso a los relatos en los que se integra el motivo de su búsqueda como objeto perdido. A partir del siglo XIV esa religiosidad se desdibuja y cuando el tema del Grial sea recuperado para la literatura y el arte será como objeto de valor místico o espiritual, que supera el sentido netamente cristiano que tuvo en el Medievo. This paper traces the origins and literary development of the legend of the Holy Grial as it appears initially in the first Arthurian mythos. Even though it most probably had pagan origins, the Holy Grial soon came to be identified with the Holy Chalice, the vessel which Christ used at the Last Supper. This transmutation wraps the stories which include the motif of the quest for the Holy Grail with religious connotations. From the fourteenth century onwards that religious character started to fade away and when the theme was brought back into literature and art it acquired mystical and spiritual values which went beyond the simple Christian character it treasured during Medieval times
