Microfilms International 300 N INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

MANUSCRIPT COLLECTIONS OF THE WORKS OF FRANCOIS DE LA MOTHE LE VAYER......................... 243 BIBLIOGRAPHY..................................................... 245 iv CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION In seventeenth-century France there was a philosophical and literary movement known as libertinage or free-thought. Antoine Adam explains that there were various types of libertinage. There was a scandalous and blasphemous type, represented by those such as Theophile de Viau.* There was also though another type of libertinage known as libertinage erudit.^ Free-thinking of this nature seriously questioned intellectual, moral and religious orthodoxy. However, while questioning religion, many of those who thought in these terms retained an outer appearance of religious faith. Members of the cabinet Dupuy,** or as it was also known, the Academie puteane, serve as an example of those 2 who were part of the libertinage erudit movement. A prominent fre- quentor of this group was Franqois de La Mothe le Vayer (1588-1672). *Theophile de Viau (1590-1626)— poet; author of Le Parnasse satyrique (1623). **This literary circle was presided over by Pierre (1582-1651) and Jacques (1586-1656) Dupuy. Both of these brothers were medieval histor­ ians. They began to preside over this group after the death of its founder, Jacques-Auguste de Thou (1553-1617), president of the Parle- ment de Paris. They were also in charge of de Thou's library after his death. In 1645, Pierre became the intendant of the Bibliotheque du roi. After Pierre's death, Jacques continued to preside over the cabinet.3 Other members of this group included Pierre Gassendi, Giovanni Diodati and Gabriel Naude.^ 1 This member of the Academie Franqaise was a prolific writer, whose interests included ancient philosophers and philosophies, history and historians, science, political systems, customs and manners of society, and religious practices. Le Vayer is best known for two volumes entitled the Cinq dialogues faits a 1*imitation des Anciens, par Orasius Tubero,* and the Quatre autres dialogues du mesme auteur. Faits comme les precedens a 1'imitation des Anciens. These dialogues, more commonly knows as the Dialogues d*Orasius Tubero, appeared between 1630 and 1632 or 1633.^ The first volume contains the dialogues entitled: De la Philosophie sceptique; Le Banquet sceptique; De la Vie privee; Des Rares et eminentes qualites des asnes de ce temps; and De la Divinite. The con­ tents of the second volume are: De 1'Ignorance louable; De 1 'Opinastrete De la Politique and Du Mariage.** *As the title of the Dialogues d'Orasius Tubero indicates, this work originally appeared as the writings of one Orasius Tubero. Rene Pintard determined that this name is a pseudonym for La Mothe le Vayer. Pintard explained that drawing on Latin and Greek vocabulary, Le Vayer created this name as follows: "Le Vayer" or "le voyeur," the one who sees, became Orasius (i^ocv- ), and "Mothe" which resembles the word "motte," a lump, bulge or hump, and which in Latin is "tuber," became Tubero.^ **The earliest complete edition of the Dialogues places the first four of these dialogues in volume one and the other five dialogues in volume two. Later editions of either only five dialogues or of all nine dialogues place together the first five dialogues listed above. One may assume, therefore, that Le Vayer decided that it was preferable for these five dialogues to appear as a unit. Further discussion of the arrangement of the dialogues may be found on pages 92-93 of this study. Also, additional information concerning the publication of the various editions of the Dialogues may be found on pages 5-6. In these dialogues, Le Vayer expresses his basic philosophical position— a defense and praise of scepticism and of the followers of this philosophy. Much of the scholarship concerning Le Vayer has dealt with the problem of determining the true nature of this sceptical position. That is, is Le Vayer sincere in his statements which exempt Christian religious beliefs and practices from the scrutiny of the scep­ tical questioning of the certitude of any position? Or is Christianity just as arbitrary as any other belief, and subject to the same lack of certitude? Overwhelmingly, critics have favored the second interpre­ tation, a position which for reasons to be considered later seems to be the most reasonable to assume. The purpose of this study thus is not to open again the debate as to whether Le Vayer was indeed a non­ believer or not. Rather my objective is to view the dialogues from a different approach, in order to increase understanding of their meaning and of Le Vayer himself. More specifically, the two major chapters of this study will deal with what I have called "interrupted dialogue." This term refers to the particular situation portrayed by Le Vayer in the Dialogues. Sceptics such as Le Vayer realize that definitive explanations of both the banal and profound questions which confront man are not possible. When the attempts of the Sceptics in the Dialogues to convince others of this fact are rejected, the result is a breakdown in communication. It is this breakdown in meaningful dialogue, resulting from the fact that the Sceptics are unable to gain acceptance of their arguments, which constitutes the situation I have termed interrupted dialogue. The analysis of each individual dialogue in this study will begin with a detailed summary of the exchanges in the dialogue. Using this summary as a point of departure, I shall then explore the notion of interrupted dialogue as it applies to the particular dialogue being analyzed. Also, I shall consider aspects of certain dialogues which further serve to illustrate Le Vayer's art of dialogue. Such factors would include his method of developing a speaker's personality, and his use of rhetorical devices to underscore his philosophical position. The last chapter of this study will begin with a consideration of the Prose chagrine (1661).

  • A Saintly Woman Is Not a Starving Woman: Parrhesia in “Birgitta's
    A Saintly Woman is Not a Starving Woman: Parrhesia in “Birgitta’s Heart is a Pot of Delicious Food” Judith Lanzendorfer College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, English Department University of Findlay 1000 N. Main St. Findlay, 45840, Ohio, USA e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This article focuses on Chapter 54, “Birgitta’s Heart is a Pot of Delicious Food”, of Birgitta of Sweden’s Revelationes extravagantes. This vision is striking in its use of parrhesis, the idea of speaking “truth to power”, particularly because this vision is less edited by an amanuensis than any other section of Birgitta’s works. Also striking in this vision is the use of food, which is often presented in medieval women’s visionary texts as a temptation; in Chapter 54 food is framed in a positive way. It is only ash from a fire that the food is cooked over, framed as worldly temptation, that is problematic. As such, the emphasis in the vision is balance between an understanding of the secular world and how it can coexist with one’s spiritual nature. Keywords: Birgitta of Sweden, Parrhesis, Foodways, Visionary, Authorial Voice In Chapter 54 of Revelationes extravagantes Birgitta of Sweden recounts a vision which is now known as “Birgitta’s Heart is a Pot of Delicious Food”. In this vision, Birgitta relates that: Once when Lady Birgitta was at prayer, she saw before her in a spiritual vision a small fire with a small pot of food above it, and delicious food in the pot. She also saw a man splendidly dressed in purple and gold.

The French recension of Compilatio tertia* Petrus Beneventanus compiled a collection of Pope Innocent III's decretal letters in 1209 which covered the first twelve years of Innocent's pontificate. In 1209/10, Innocent authenticated the collection and sent it to the masters and students in Bologna. His bull (Devotioni vestrae), said Innocent, was to remove any scruples that the lawyers might have about using the collection in the schools and courts. The lawyers called the collection Compilatio tertia; it was the first officially sanctioned collection of papal decretals and has become a benchmark for the growing sophistication of European jurisprudence in the early thirteenth century.1 The modern investigation of the Compilationes antiquae began in the sixteenth century when Antonius Augustinus edited the first four compilations and publish- ed them in 1576. His edition was later republished in Paris (1609 and 1621) and as part of an Opera omnia in Lucca (1769).

OVERVIEW OF THE PROBLEM In 1984, the Roman Catholic Church began to experience the complex and highly embarrassing problem of clergy sexual miscon- duct in the United States. Within months of the first public case emerging in Lafayette, Louisiana, it was clear that this problem was not geographically isolated, nor a minuscule exception.' In- stances of clergy sexual misconduct surfaced with increasing noto- riety. Bishops, the leaders of the United States Catholic dioceses, were caught off guard. They were unsure of how to deal with spe- cific cases, and appeared defensive when trying to control an ex- panding and uncontrollable problem.

THE FIRST EXECUTION FOR WITCHCRAFT IN IRELAND I WILLIAM RENWICK RIDDELL We of the present age find it very difficult to enter into the atmosphere of the times in which witchcraft was a well recognized and not uncommon crime. It is a never-ceasing cause of wonderment to us that the whole Christian world, Emperor King and Noble, Pope Cardinal and Bishop, all shared in what we consider an obvious de- lusion. Thousands perished at the stake for this imaginary crime, no few of them in the Isle of Saints itself. The extraordinary story of the first auto de fe in Ireland will well repay perusal, both from its intrinsic interest and as showing the practice of criminal law at that time and place and in that kind of crime, 2 as well as indicating the claims of the Church in such cases.
