The Inner Library of Book VII — the deeper strata of the Quest: the knights and ladies one by one, the sources and later reception, the trials, the Grail Castle, and the passing of Arthur.
Here are gathered the 187 pages of Book VII that belong to the working interior of the Book: the close study of each figure, each text, each trial, and each symbol of the Grail. The main page keeps the Quest. This room keeps the working papers.
