The Holy Grail It's Legends and Symbolism by A.E. Waite
Publication: 1933 Rider & Co.; First Edition
The scarce first edition of Arthur Edward Waite's The Holy Grail. The author presents one of the most informative books every written about the Grail. Waite reveals that beneath their pious surface, the quest for the Holy Grain is as subversive as any other form of mysticism — illustrating the symbolic nature of doctrinal teachings which, according to the author, were never intended to be literally interpreted. Waite attempts to restore the full and true meaning of the Grail quest as a journey of the soul.
