- Abstract
This paper studies the process of adaptation of medieval Arthurian texts to the sixteenth-century publishing market, taking as an example the Iberian printings of the Baladro del sabio Merlín and the Demanda del Santo Graal. In these works, innovative elements, typical of Renaissance chivalric literature, can be observed, but also vestiges of medieval poetics, which may have conditioned the reception of these works by the 16th century readers, and which reflected the limitations of the renewal of Arthurian literature. One of these compositional devices of medieval origin is the reference to non-existent books, in which undeveloped episodes are recounted, such as the references to a Libro de Galaz, which contains the Demanda, or to a dubious Libro (or Historia) del Grial. Such allusions are interpreted in the light of medieval theories about compositio.
