Work with the hyphotesis that between the lines of Grail myth lies virtue as the path which leads to acquaintance of self and transcendence, being the Grail an immaterial good symbolised by many objects. Between two axes, history and myth, I bring some reflections to analyse the meaning of the Grail. Regarding methodological procedures, I made use of bibliographical research based on seminal romances from twelfth and thirteenth centuries, Perceval or the Story of the Grail by Chrétien de Troyes and Parzival by Wolfram Von Eschenbach. Such romances were examined from referential theory of the Antrophological Structures of Imaginary by Gilbert Durand and of comparative mythology by Joseph Campbell. / Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar o significado mítico-simbólico do Graal em sua conexão com o mito do herói, aqui representado pelo cavaleiro medieval. Trabalho com a hipótese que nas entrelinhas do mito do Graal está a virtude como o caminho que leva para o encontro de si mesmo e da transcendência, sendo o Graal um bem imaterial simbolizado por vários objetos. Entre os dois pólos, história e mito, trago algumas reflexões para analisar o significado do Graal. Em relação aos procedimentos metodológicos, utilizei a pesquisa bibliográfica, com base nos romances seminais dos séculos XII e XIII, Perceval ou o Romance do Graal, de Chrétien de Troyes e Parsifal, de Wolfram Von Eschenbach. Tais romances foram analisados a partir do referencial teórico das Estruturas Antropológicas do Imaginário de Gilbert Durand e da mitologia comparada de Joseph Campbell.

Another objective is to show how the Middle Ages realize a retaking of values of classical Antiquity, especially with regard to the attitude of the medieval knight: this was the greek hero (or roman hero) as the ideal of bravery, virtue and loyalty; the imaginary of medieval cavalier (or "the imaginary created around of the medieval knight") was practically the same imaginary of greek hero (or roman hero), because of the similarity between the historical and literary contexts in which they both arose. The theory that underpins this work is the Teoria da Residualidade, created by Roberto Pontes, critic, essayist and professor of Literature of the Universidade Federal do Ceará – UFC. During the research, the concepts of imaginary and residual, proposed respectively by the École des Annales and Raymond Williams, a marxist literary critic, are also present. With regard to the methodology, it must be said that the research was conducted, at first, through readings of classics of the ancient Literature (Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, Vergil’s Aeneid and Ovid’s Metamorphoses) and portuguese novels about chivalry (Amadis de Gaula and, especially, A Demanda do Santo Graal) and through comparative literature, since there was a work of comparison between these texts. Finally, this research is relevant to the academic community because it mentions, in a medieval and christian novel (A Demanda do Santo Graal), an important aspect of the novels about chivalry: the classic, so much neglected by most scholars which deal with the novels of the breton cycle. / O presente trabalho tem como principais objetivos apontar os trechos de teor clássico presentes n' A Demanda do Santo Graal (edição portuguesa), novela de cavalaria da primeira metade do século XIII, e explicar o porquê de excertos dessa natureza no âmbito da obra literária em questão. Procura, ainda, mostrar de que modo a Idade Média realiza uma retomada de valores da Antigüidade clássica; sobretudo no que concerne à postura do cavaleiro medieval: chegou-se à conclusão de que este tinha o herói que se movimenta nas epopéias e nos mitos greco-romanos como ideal de bravura, de virtude e de lealdade, bem como à de que o imaginário deste (ou “criado em torno deste”) era praticamente o mesmo daquele, por conta da semelhança existente entre os contextos histórico-literários em que surgiram ambos. A teoria que serve de base para a realização deste trabalho é a da Residualidade, elaborada por Roberto Pontes, crítico, ensaísta e professor da graduação e do programa de pós-graduação em Letras da Universidade Federal do Ceará – UFC. Durante a pesquisa, os conceitos de imaginário e residual, propostos, respectivamente, pela École des Annales e por Raymond Williams, crítico literário de orientação marxista, fazem-se também presentes. No que concerne à metodologia, deve-se dizer que a pesquisa foi realizada, basicamente, por meio da leitura de clássicos da Literatura das antigas Grécia e Roma (Ilíada e Odisséia, de Homero; Eneida, de Virgílio; e Metamorfoses, de Ovídio) e de novelas de cavalaria portuguesas (Amadis de Gaula e, principalmente, A Demanda do Santo Graal), bem como por meio da Literatura Comparada, visto que houve um trabalho de confronto entre esses textos. Por fim, esta investigação mostra-se relevante à comunidade acadêmica porque aborda, numa novela tipicamente medieval e cristã (estamos falando d‟A Demanda do Santo Graal), um importante aspecto das novelas de cavalaria: o clássico, tão negligenciado pela maioria dos estudiosos que se debruçam sobre as novelas do ciclo bretão.

A figura da mulher ocupa significativo papel nas novelas de cavalaria do Ciclo Bretão. Emergindo como um elemento que traz liga às narrativas do lendário artúrico, constitui-se adjuvante essencial e multifacetada na construção dos episódios, numa interação constante com o masculino representado, principalmente, pelos cavaleiros. O Medievo traz à tona uma imagem matizada do feminino: a mulher socialmente vista sob clivagens diversas é refletida na literatura de cavalaria, conforme se pode verificar em A Demanda do Santo Graal. A presença feminina é importantíssima na narrativa, sobretudo na sua tensa relação com a cavalaria, agora ligada ao elemento religioso - monastizada, celibatária e ascética. O objetivo precípuo de nossos estudos é investigar de que maneira a fôrma sociocultural medieva, na qual foi moldada A Demanda do Santo Graal, se relaciona com seu substrato: as narrativas provindas da cosmovisão inerente ao imaginário céltico. Desta feita, nosso viés analítico verticaliza-se no elemento feminino presente na obra. Mais especificamente, toma-se por escopo a imagem de personagens que refletem a ideologia clerical moralístico-didatizante do século XIII, mas, sobretudo, resgata-se a imagem de personagens imbuídas de singular dualidade; ambigüidade esta que é marca não só do medievo paradoxal concernente ao feminino, mas também de personas literárias concebidas entre dois mundos, dois pólos ideológicos distintos. Em outros termos, fala-se de personagens que são seres ficcionais bifrontes: personagens localizadas entre as herdades e as identidades. Foram tomados como corpora de pesquisa os episódios em que estas damas polidimensionais aparecem e se tornam adjuvantes na ação literária, seja para cooperar, confundir ou prejudicar os cavaleiros que empreendem a sagrada, inefável e venturosa busca do Santo Cálix que dará fim às aventuras do Reino de Logres / The figure of woman takes leading role in the novels of chivalry Cycle Breton. Emerging as an element that links the narratives of the legendary Arturo, it constitutes a vital and multifaceted adjuvant in the construction of the episodes in an ongoing interaction with the male represented mainly by knights. The Medieval brings up a nuanced picture of the female: the woman socially viewed under various divisions is reflected in the literature of chivalry, as it can be seen in The Quest for the Holy Grail. The female presence is important in the narrative, especially in its tense relationship with the chivalry, now linked to the religious element monasticated, ascetic and celibaterian. The main objective of our study is to investigate how the sociocultural medieval mold, in which was shaped The Quest for the Holy Grail relates to its substrate, the narratives originated of the worldview inherent in the Celtic imagination, thus our analytical bias uprights in the female element in this work. More specifically, it becomes a scope which the image of characters reflects the ideology of clerical didactic and moralistic of the thirteenth century. However it redeens the image of characters imbued with singular duality; that ambiguity which is not only a mark of the medieval paradoxical concerning the female, but also of literary characters designed between two worlds, two distinct ideological poles. In other words, it is about personas who are "bifront fictional beings". Characters located between the inheritances and identities. The research bases were the episodes in which these polidimensionals ladies appear and become adjuvants in literary action, either to cooperate, confuse or impair the knights who undertake the sacred, ineffable and "fortunate" quest for the Holy Chalice which will end the adventures of the Kingdom of Logres

Notre thèse propose de faire découvrir une version inédite de La Queste del saint Graal, offerte par le manuscrit de Paris BnF, français 339. Comme nous tentons de le montrer, il s’agit d’un des meilleurs représentants de la famille β, l’une des deux familles de manuscrits où le célèbre récit a été conservé. Or, malgré sa grande qualité, ce témoin n’avait encore jamais été sérieusement étudié. Afin d’établir un texte aussi correct et fiable que possible, nous avons choisi cinq manuscrits de contrôle. Ceux-ci présentent l’avantage d’appartenir aux trois autres groupes de manuscrits formant la famille β. Les six témoins collationnés permettent ainsi d’obtenir une version de La Queste très représentative de cette famille. Pour étudier et corriger notre texte, nous nous sommes également servie du travail de nos prédécesseurs. Nous avons consulté leurs éditions, lorsque nos manuscrits de contrôle ne permettaient pas de corriger notre texte. Grâce à elles, nous avons pu faire apparaître les points communs entre notre manuscrit de base, nos témoins, et ceux de la famille α. Notre édition se veut la plus complète possible. Une introduction littéraire et philologique analyse l’intérêt, la tradition manuscrite et les traits dialectaux, majoritairement anglo-normands, du nord et du nord-est, du texte établi. Elle justifie aussi le choix du manuscrit de base. Le texte est présenté sous forme de paragraphes numérotés, qui correspondent aux divisions faites par le copiste. Il est accompagné de ses corrections, en bas de page, dont nous indiquons toujours la source. Il est suivi des variantes des manuscrits de contrôle, de notes, d’un glossaire et d’un index des éléments du récit. / This Ph.D. thesis aims to make available a previously unpublished version of La Queste del saint Graal, as found in the French BnF 339 manuscript in Paris. We will attempt to demonstrate that this manuscript is one of the best examples of the β family, one of the two families of manuscripts in which the well-known story has survived to this day. However, despite its high quality, this manuscript has so far never been seriously studied. In order for our transcript to be as correct and reliable as possible we selected five control manuscripts demonstrating the advantage of belonging to the other three groups forming the β family. The six collated texts therefore allow the production of a version of La Queste that is very representative of this family. We used the work of previous editors and scholars to correct our transcript and to highlight the common points between the manuscript being studied, the control manuscripts, and those of the α family. Our edition intends to be as thorough as possible. A literary and philological introduction analyses the interest of the established text, its manuscript tradition and dialectal features - mainly Anglo-Norman, northern and northeastern, and justifies the choice of the manuscript under study. The transcript is divided into numbered paragraphs corresponding to the divisions made by the copyist and the corrections and their sources are included in footnotes. The other versions of the control manuscripts, notes, a glossary and an index of the elements of the story can be found after the transcript.

Rédigée dans la première moitié du XIIIe siècle, la Suite Vulgate est une continuation du Merlin en prose qui constitue la dernière pièce du cycle du Graal. Partagée entre le déroulement de la vie de Merlin, qui lui donne une unité de type biographique, et la peinture de la jeunesse héroïque du roi Arthur, cette suite rétrospective sert de transition vers le Lancelot. Son succès s'affirme aux dépens d'autres continuations du Merlin dont la transmission manuscrite semble par comparaison marginale, et dont le projet demeure parfois inabouti. Ces différentes rédactions exposent la dynamique d'écriture et l'émulation suscitées par le développement de la prose arthurienne et l'effort de mise en cycle. L'étude de la mise en recueil, de la mise en page et de l'illustration des manuscrits comprenant le Merlin et ses suites éclaire le mode de production et de réception de ces oeuvres qui continuent d'être copiées et enluminées tout au long du Moyen Age. Le Merlin et la Suite Vulgate, le plus souvent intégrés à des compilations centrées sur l'histoire du Graal, entretiennent un lien particulier avec le Joseph d'Arimathie, l'Estoire del saint Graal et les Prophéties de Merlin, mais circulent aussi dans des recueils d'ambition didactique ou historique. Si l'écriture de la Suite Vulgate favorise l'intégration cyclique du Merlin propre, ces textes et leurs programmes iconographiques développent une veine militaire et historique qui interroge leur appartenance générique et tranche avec l'orientation religieuse ou courtoise des autres oeuvres de la Vulgate arthurienne. / The Vulgate Sequel to the French prose Merlin was composed in the first half of the XIIIth century and is the last piece of the Grail cycle. It creates a wider story encompassing the life of Merlin and the beginnings of King Arthur’s reign and serves as a prequel to the prose Lancelot. The Vulgate Sequel is the most widespread, but the existence of different sequels demonstrates the poetic dynamism and the rivalry produced by the development of Arthurian prose romances and their cyclification. Our study of the manuscript collections including Merlin and its sequels, of their mise en page and illuminations sheds new lights on the production and reception of works which were copied throughout the Middle Ages. Merlin and its Sequel are mostly transmitted in compilations focusing on the history of the Grail: they have a particular relationship to the Joseph of Arimathia, the Estoire del saint Graal and the Prophecies of Merlin. In some manuscripts, Merlin and its Sequel are copied with texts which do not belong to the Arthurian tradition, such as hagiographies or pastoral works, demonstrating their religious and didactic interest. Other compilations stress their historical and chivalric aspect. The Vulgate Sequel and its illumination accentuate the historical aspect of Merlin while giving an epic flavour to the beginnings of King Arthur's reign. This spirit might contradict the perspective of its integration in the romance Vulgate cycle, but it echoes the missionary dimension of the Estoire del saint Graal and resonates with the military conflicts of Lancelot and of the Mort le roi Artu.

Le cycle Lancelot-Graal, et le Perlesvaus, écrits dans la première moitié du XIIIe siècle, sont construits autour d’un temps horizontal, organisé autour de la figure du roi Arthur, ce qui rend toute idée de succession problématique. Mais dans le même temps, la société a subi de profonds bouleversements. Qu’il s’agisse de l’institution du mariage, des règles de transmission de l’héritage, ou encore de l’ancrage du lignage dans des lieux géographiques très précis, les relations entre les individus se sont lentement modifiées. Les auteurs doivent donc faire coexister des éléments disparates, voire même contradictoires. La généalogie entre dans le roman arthurien par le biais du cycle de la Vulgate. Ce temps vertical influe sur le roman, et les relations de parenté sont déterminantes dans les constructions narratives des personnages. / The cycle Lancelot-Graal, and the Perlesvaus, written in the first half of the thirteenth century, are built around a horizontal time, organized around the figure of King Arthur, which makes any idea of succession problematic. But at the same time, society has undergone profound changes. Whether it is about the institution of marriage, rules of transmission of the inheritance, or the anchoring of the lineage in very specific geographic locations, relationships between individuals have slowly changed. Authors should therefore ensure the coexistence of disparate elements, even contradictory. Genealogy get in Arthurian romance through the Vulgate Cycle. The vertical time affect the novel, and relationships are crucial in narrative constructions of characters.

This study examines the literary texts of the Ligurian writer Giuseppe Conte published between 1972 and 2005. In Part One, the reasons are considered which justify this research on Giuseppe Conte. This author is discussed in the context of the literary movements of the second half of the 20th century in Italy, with special reference to his approach to literature, which proposes a modern rewriting of myth. Conte is in fact a co-founder of "Mitomodernismo". "Mitomodernismo" is a literary movement, established in 1994 and currently still active, which aims to revive modern society through a spiritual rebirth promoted by a recovery of basic human values, as these appear within the boundaries already suggested by myth since antiquity. The Mitomodernisti propose an alternative which could assist contemporaries to overcome the obstacles created by modern "maladies", particularly in the West, whether these be socio-cultural, ecological, or religious. Throughout Conte's entire æuvre one clearly perceives this strong desire for rebirth which for the author is concretised in "Fare Anima", that is, a way to reconnecting with the universe, of rising towards the "light". This tension towards rebirth could be compared metaphorically to the quest for the Graal, which involves suffering as a way to redemption. The artist's visionary work is comparable to the extrasensory journey undertaken by the shaman during his trance. For this reason, in Part One of this study the figure of the shaman will also be examined in a socio-cultural context, in order to transfer it better to the literary context. The whole of Part Two is dedicated to an analysis of Conte's æuvre - poetry, novels and also, but only indirectly, essays and articles - in the light of his fundamental themes, which metaphorically turn the writer into a "shaman". The analysis is based on some concepts put forward by the Swiss psycho-analyst Carl Gustav Jung, such as the function and symbolism of myth in literature from a psychoanalytical perspective. RIASSUNTO In questo studio vengono prese in esame le opere dello scrittore ligure Giuseppe Conte, pubblicate dal 1972 al 2005. Nella Parte Prima vengono considerate le ragioni che giustificano questa ricerca su Giuseppe Conte. L'autore viene discusso nel contesto dei movimenti letterari del secondo Novecento in Italia, ed in particolare il suo approccio alla letteratura che propone una riscrittura del mito in chiave moderna. Lo scrittore è infatti uno dei cofondatori del "Mitomodernismo". Il "Mitomodernismo" è un movimento letterario che vide la luce nel 1994 e che è ancora attivo alla data attuale. Esso si prefigge di risanare la società moderna mediante una rinascita spirituale promossa dalla ripresa dei valori umani di base, simili a quelli suggeriti dal mito fin dai tempi antichi. A tutto ciò i Mitomodernisti propongono un'alternativa che aiuti l'uomo contemporaneo a superare gli impedimenti creati da queste "malattie" moderne, particolarmente nell'ambito occidentale, siano queste socioculturali, ecologiche, religiose, o altre. Attraverso tutta l'opera di Conte si percepisce chiaramente questo desiderio di rinascita che per lo scrittore si concretizza nel "Fare Anima", vale a dire in un modo di ricollegarsi al cosmo, di innalzarsi verso la "luce". Questa tensione verso la rinascita può venire metaforicamente comparata alla ricerca del Graal attraverso la sofferenza che redime. L'opera visionaria dell'artista è paragonabile al viaggio extrasensoriale intrapreso dallo sciamano durante la sua trance. Per questo motivo nella Prima Parte di questo studio si esamina la figura dello sciamano anche in ambito socioculturale per poterla poi meglio trasferire in quello letterario. La Parte Seconda è completamente dedicata all'analisi dell'opera contiana - poesie, romanzi e, trasversalmente, i saggi e gli articoli alla luce dei suoi temi portanti, che dello scrittore fanno metaforicamente uno "sciamano". L'analisi viene condotta basandosi su alcuni concetti elaborati dallo psicoanalista svizzero Carl Gustav Jung, quali la funzione ed il simbolismo del mito in letteratura da una prospettiva psicoanalitica. / Classics & Mod Euro Lang / D.

[Short abstract]. The Middle Welsh prose romance, Y Seint Greal has long been recognised as a translation of two early thirteenth century French Grail romances, La Queste del Saint Graal and Perlesvaus, but so far no comprehensive study has been made of the relationship between them, nor of the Welsh text as a work of literature in its own right. This study first puts Y Seint Greal into its proper context, as a product of the close links between France and Wales in the later Middle Ages, and as part of a surge of translation of foreign material into Welsh that began in the mid thirteenth century. Manuscript and other evidence indicates that Y Seint Greal was commissioned by the uchelwr (nobleman) Hopcyn ap Thomas of Glamorgan, at the end of the fourteenth century, both translator and scribe probably working in Neath or Margam Cistercian Abbey. The translator presents the Queste and Perlesvaus as two parts of a whole, creating a number of problems of consistency within Y Seint Greal. Moreover, comparison of the Welsh text with its French sources shows that the translator was insensitive to some of their qualities, and that his tendency to abridge has sometimes undermined the structure and coherence of the romances. However, many of the translation's apparent weaknesses can be ascribed to the redactor's concern to adapt his French material for the new audience. Overtly foreign elements are removed and efforts made to harmonise events and characters of the French romances with those of native Welsh tradition. The translator was familiar with earlier Welsh prose narrative, which has influenced his style, and he has drawn on the earlier romance of Peredur. Y Seint Greal was not intended to be a faithful translation but a bridge between Welsh and continental Arthurian traditions.

Ce mémoire présente les résultats et la réflexion d’une recherche qui avait pour but d’analyser les liens entre la Bible médiévale et les romans du Graal écrits au XIIIe siècle. À cet effet, nous avons eu recours aux paraphrases et aux traductions bibliques en prose écrites en ancien français afin de montrer comment les romans à l’étude réécrivaient l’héritage biblique qu’ils comportaient. Le mémoire s’articule en trois chapitres. Le premier chapitre présente les corpus principal et secondaire et en les mettant en contexte. Ce chapitre traite également de la Bible au Moyen Âge, c’est-à-dire de son statut et de sa diffusion dans la société. Le deuxième chapitre s’attache à l’analyse des réécritures bibliques présentes dans le corpus principal en traitant les questions de l’allégorie et de l’exégèse et en analysant la Légende de l’Arbre de Vie. Enfin, le troisième chapitre étudie la mise en récit du rêve comme processus d’écriture commun à la Bible et aux romans du Graal. Cette recherche montre comment les auteurs médiévaux reprennent non seulement les récits de la Bible, mais aussi ses procédés d’écriture. Cette dynamique de reprise permet également de voir comment les textes traitent la matière biblique dans le développement spécifique du roman du Graal, en s’intéressant particulièrement au phénomène de christianisation du roman. / This MA thesis introduces results of a research which is analysing links between the medieval Bible and the Grail novels written during the 13th century. For that purpose, we had recourse to biblical paraphrases and translations in prose written in old French as a secondary corpus. This dissertation is divided in three chapters. The first chapter introduces the main and secondary corpuses by putting them into context. This chapter also deals with the Bible in the Middle Ages, that is to say with its status and with its diffusion in the society. The following chapter analyses the biblical rewritings found in the corpus by dealing with the questions of allegory and exegesis, mainly in the Legend of the Tree of Life. Finally, the third chapter studies the writing of the dream as a common process of writing found in the Bible and taken back by the Grail novels. In the end, medieval authors took back not only the tales of the Bible, but also its writing processes. The study of this dynamic of resumption also allows demonstrating how texts incorporate biblical material in the specific development of romance, a literary genre in emergence at that time.

This work aims to unfold paths undertaken by some Judaeo-Christian myths, that is, mythical structures, which corroborated the construction of new myths, such as those of Percival’s sister and Solomon’s wife – characters of A demanda do Santo Graal (1995), Portuguese translation from the 15th century, copy of a French sample from the 18th century. In this trajectory, it is essential to consider, besides the biblical scripture, some apocryphal manuscripts which lend literary elements of feminine prominence and humility to the matter of Britain. This character, for example, was scarcely referred in the Portuguese Demand; therefore it is essential that La queste del Saint Graal (1923), present in Vulgata, be consulted for the purpose of studying the narrative of Solomon’s wife. Thus, according to the Judaeo-Christian tradition one can attest that the elements borrowed from it, still echo in discourses, which sometimes vilify and sometimes defend women, making them exemplary and heroic feminine figures, despite carrying the heavy burden of anti feminine tradition. Such misogynous burden is noticed in the narratives that aim at legitimating the Grail’s hero lineage, taking the Hebrew kings from the biblical tradition as ancestors. It is from this androcentric nucleus that heroic feminine narratives will emerge, softening the bitterness against women, in the moment heroes find themselves in abulia in face of the unknown. For this purpose, the dissertation carries out an analytical study of the referred literary pieces, following the methodological procedures of bibliographic, qualitative research, identifying the literary, sociological, historical and cultural perspectives. It tried to unveil the paths taken by the characters Percival’s sister and Solomon’s wife, along their mythical trajectory, compatible to the Judaeo- Christian tradition. / Compreendendo que a tradição judaico-cristã é mais extensa do que está grafado no cânone bíblico, este trabalho propõe-se a desvelar os caminhos percorridos por alguns mitos judaico-cristãos, isto é, estruturas míticas que amparam a construção de novos mitos, como os da irmã de Persival e da mulher de Salomão, personagens presentes n’A demanda do Santo Graal (1995), tradução portuguesa do século XV, cópia de um exemplar francês do século XIII. Neste percurso, é necessário que se considere, além do texto bíblico, alguns textos apócrifos que emprestaram motivos literários da proeminência e da humildade femininas à matéria da Bretanha, como os que estruturaram os mitos da irmã de Persival e da mulher de Salomão. Esta personagem, por exemplo, recebe apenas poucas citações na Demanda portuguesa, sendo indispensável o manuseio de La queste del Saint Graal (1923), presente na Vulgata, para se conhecer a narrativa da mulher de Salomão. De tal modo, seguindo a tradição judaico-cristã, vê-se que os motivos, dela tomados de empréstimo, continuam por ecoar discursos que ora difamam, ora defendem a mulher, tornando as personagens figuras exemplares e heroicas, ainda que carreguem o fardo da tradição antifeminina. Tal fardo misógino será percebido nas narrativas que visam a legitimar a linhagem do herói do Graal, tomando como ancestrais os reis hebreus da tradição bíblica. É neste núcleo androcêntrico que irromperão as narrativas heroicas femininas, suavizando o ranço contra as mulheres, quando os heróis mostrarem-se em abulia frente ao desconhecido. Para tanto, a tese, realizando um estudo analítico das mencionadas obras, pautando-se na pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico e qualitativa, reconhecendo o viés literário, sociológico, histórico e cultural, procurou deslindar os caminhos percorridos pelas personagens, a irmã de Persival e a mulher de Salomão, em sua trajetória mítica, segundo a tradição judaico-cristã.
