註釋This book is not so much an addition to the long bibliography already existing on the subject, but rather an examination of a particular element, already present in the literary tradition of the Grail: the arrival of the Marys in the south of France and the subsequent journey of Joseph of Arimathea to Glastonbury, Wales, Great Britain. My intention is to focus, among the many themes of the Grail, mainly on the “path of the Holy Grail”, that is, the journey of the Marys from Palestine to their arrival in Provence, in the south of France, as told by Jacopo da Varazze, or Varagine, (1228-1298) and before him by Rabanus Maurus (776-856). Joseph of Arimathea is also mentioned as part of the group that, starting from the south of France, founded the first church in Great Britain, on the plain of Glastonbury, another extraordinary place with very strong ties to the Grail and the Arthurian cycle. Some of the main characters, such as Mary Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea, have been represented in a comparative way, using the canonical and apocryphal gospels and some codices and documents found at Qumran.
