"Studies on the Legend of the Holy Grail" by Alfred Trübner Nutt is a scholarly publication written in the late 19th century. This work examines the various forms and origins of the Holy Grail legend, with a strong emphasis on its connections to Celtic traditions and influences.

Campbell, highlighting the significance of Celtic tradition in Nutt's interpretation. The introduction outlines the structure of the studies, noting that the work does not aim for exhaustiveness but rather focuses on specific aspects of the Grail narrative.
