Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mystic Vision in the Grail Legend and in the Divine Comedy The addition of even a single page to the voluminous criticism of the Grail Legend and the Divine Comedy can be justified only by the hope of suggesting a fresh interpretation in the light of hitherto unnoticed facts. But they have been examined from so many different points of view that it would seem impossible to find any line of thought explanatory of questions in either, much less one which clears up problems in both. Nevertheless such a line of thought is, I believe, to be found in the history of the doctrine of transubstantiation, which from the controversies of the ninth century to its culmination in the Later an Council of 1215 seems, strangely enough, to have received little attention from the standpoint of its literary influence, though it needs but a moment´s reflection to perceive that a dogma so closely connected with the life and thought of the later Middle Ages must have affected contemporary literature. Emphasis on the sacramental system of the church as its great agent of salvation, and the special glorification of the eucharist as chief among sacraments, received authoritative recognition in the decree of this council, which declared transubstantiation an article of faith, and placed it at the beginning of its confession in immediate connection with the fundamental doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation. While the religious fervor thus evidenced found outward expression in elaboration of eucharistic ritual and in the feast of Corpus Christi, its spiritual influence is no less marked in the mysticism of the day.
