- Title
Augustinian Intrusions in the Queste del Saint Graal: Converting 'Pagan Gold' to Christian Currency.
- Authors
Frese, Dolores Warwick
- Abstract
The article offers information on the conversion of pagan gold to Christian currency in the poem "Queste del Saint Graal." It is stated that the author of the "Queste del Saint Graal" is a dramatic witness to the assertion of Saint Augustine that the translation of pagan gold from the pre-Christian textual tradition to the redeemed Christian milieu is a divinely prescribed activity. It is suggested that the author has laid out to achieve his recontextualizations, preservations and Augustinian elaboration of inherited materials for evangelical display purposes.
