Beyond the Feast of Fools.For centuries, the Feast of Fools has been condemned and occasionally celebrated as a disorderly, even transgressive Christian festival, in which reveling clergy elected a burlesque Lord of Misrule, presided over the divine office wearing animal masks or women's clothes, sang obscene songs, swung censers that gave off foul-smelling smoke, played dice at the altar, and otherwise parodied the liturgy of the church. Afterward, they would take to the streets, howling, issuing mock indulgences, hurling manure at bystanders, and staging scurrilous plays. The problem with this popular account-intriguing as it may be- is that it is wrong.In Sacred Folly, Max Harris rewrites the history of the Feast of Fools, showing that it developed in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries as an elaborate and orderly liturgy for the day of the Circumcision (1 January)-serving as a dignified alternative to rowdy secular New Year festivities. The intent of the feast was not mockery but thanksgiving for the incarnation of Christ. Prescribed role reversals, in which the lower clergy presided over divine office, recalled Mary's joyous affirmation that God "has put down the mighty from their seat and exalted the humble." The "fools" represented those chosen by God for their lowly status.The feast, never widespread, was largely confined to cathedrals and collegiate churches in northern France. In the fifteenth century, high-ranking clergy who relied on rumor rather than firsthand knowledge attacked and eventually suppressed the feast. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century historians repeatedly misread records of the feast; their erroneous accounts formed a shaky foundation for subsequent understanding of the medieval ritual. By returning to the primary documents, Harris reconstructs a Feast of Fools that is all the more remarkable for being sanctified rather than sacrilegious.Feast of FoolsHistoryFeast of FoolsHistory.394.25/09BS 1750rvkHarris Max1949-1491717MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781351103321Sacred folly3771421UNINA02883nam 2200529 450 991081282860332120230807214044.090-04-28955-010.1163/9789004289550(CKB)3710000000376202(MiAaPQ)EBC2006478(OCoLC)906699383(nllekb)BRILL9789004289550(Au-PeEL)EBL2006478(CaPaEBR)ebr11039197(CaONFJC)MIL760522(EXLCZ)99371000000037620220150413h20152015 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierPhilosophy and dietetics in the Hippocratic On regimen a delicate balance of health /Hynek BartosLeiden, Netherlands ;Boston, [Massachusetts] :Brill,2015.©20151 online resource (350 pages)Studies in Ancient Medicine,0925-1421 ;Volume 4490-04-28921-6 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Preliminary Material /Hynek Bartoš -- Introduction /Hynek Bartoš -- 1 The Discovery of Dietetics /Hynek Bartoš -- 2 Philosophy of the Nature of Man /Hynek Bartoš -- 3 Therapy of Body and Soul /Hynek Bartoš -- 4 The Philosophical Legacy of On Regimen /Hynek Bartoš -- Bibliography /Hynek Bartoš -- General Index /Hynek Bartoš -- Index Locorum /Hynek Bartoš -- Index Nominum /Hynek Bartoš.This book offers the first extended study published in English on the Hippocratic treatise On Regimen , one of the most important pre-Platonic documents of the discussion of human nature and other topics at the intersection of ancient medicine and philosophy. It is not only a unique example of classical Greek dietetic literature, including the most elaborated account of the micro-macrocosm and phusis - technē analogies, but it also provides the most explicit discussion of the soul-body opposition preceding Plato. Moreover, Bartoš argues, it is a rare example of an extant medical text which systematically draws on philosophical authorities, such as Heraclitus, Empedocles and Anaxagoras, and which had a decisive influence on both physicians, such as Galen, and philosophers, most notably Plato and Aristotle.Studies in ancient medicine ;Volume 44.Philosophy, AncientHistoryDietHistoryPhilosophy, AncientHistory.DietHistory.610.1Bartos Hynek720305Hippocrates157241MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812828603321Philosophy and dietetics in the Hippocratic On regimen3985171UNINA
