| | Background on the Golem Legends |
 | | Legends proclaiming the Jewish "ritual murder" of Christian children or the profanation or desecration of holy wafers are celebrated in various European towns in such artistic forms as tapestries or stained glass church windows. | | | The blood libel legend is not only the basis of ongoing festivals, but it has also been memorialized in church decoration. | | | Cabala (Hebrew, "received tradition"), generically, Jewish mysticism in all its forms; specifically, the esoteric theosophy that crystallized in 13th-century Spain and Provence, France, around Sefer ha-zohar (The Book of Splendor), referred to as the Zohar, and generated all later mystical movements in Judaism. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Legend of Abgar |
| | The legend, according to these two works, runs as follows: Abgar, king of Edessa, afflicted with an incurable sickness, has heard the fame of the power and miracles of Jesus and writes to Him, praying Him to come and heal him. | | | This legend enjoyed great popularity, both in the East and in the West, during the Middle Ages: Our Lord's letter was copied on parchment, marble, and metal, and used as a talisman or an amulet. | | | The text is borrowed in two places from that of the Gospel, which of itself is sufficient to disprove the authenticity of the letter. |

| | What distinguishes legend from chronicle, however, is that legend applies a structure that reveals a moral "meaning" to events, which lifts them above the meaningless repetitions and constraints of average human lives and gives them a universality that makes them worth repeating. | | | Vlad the Impaler; the legend from which vampire mythology is said to derive; | | | Legend may be transmitted orally, passed on person-to-person, or, in the original sense, through written text. |

| | Hamlet (legend) - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Hamlet (legend) |
| | The chief authority for the legend of Hamlet is Saxo Grammaticus, who devotes to it parts of the third and fourth books of his Historia Danica (Gesta Danorum), completed at the beginning of the 13th century. | | | His riddling speech has little more than an outward similarity to the words of Hamlet, who resembles him, however, in his disconcerting penetration into his enemies' plans. | | | It is supposed that the story of Hamlet, Amleth or Amlodhi, was contained in the lost Skjoldunga saga, but we have no means of determining whether Saxo derived his information in this case from oral or written sources. |
