| Summary | "Miti, leggende e superstizioni del Medio Evo, vol. I" by Arturo Graf is a historical and mythological treatise written in the late 19th century. The work intricately explores the various myths, legends, and superstitions from the Middle Ages, especially focusing on themes such as the myth of Paradise, the fate of the damned, and the belief in fatalism. Through comprehensive analysis, Graf delves into the common human experiences and cultural narratives that shaped medieval thought and continues to resonate in contemporary interpretations of myth. The opening of the volume introduces the reader to the concept of the myth of Paradise, discussing its widespread appeal across different cultures and religions. Graf emphasizes that the idea of an initial state of happiness and innocence shared by humanity is not unique to any one tradition but is a reflection of collective human imagination found in diverse mythological narratives around the globe. He notes how this myth manifests similarly in the traditions of the Indians, Egyptians, Semites, Greeks, and many others, suggesting a deep-rooted connection in human consciousness. By indicating various ancient sources and traditions, he sets the stage for a detailed exploration of how the Paradise myth has evolved over time, as well as its implications for understanding both ancient and modern human experiences.
