"In this study, Sergey A. Ivanov examines the phenomenon of holy foolery from a cultural
standpoint. Adopting a diachronic approach, he identifies the prerequisites for holy
foolery, considers the way it was shaped in the religious mind, and follows the emergence
of the first hagiographic texts describing these paradoxical saints. In exploring
the subsequent tradition of holy foolery, he shows how the genuinely insane could
be promoted to the ranks of holy fools, as new generations of hagiographers attempted
to read insanity in the light of the established canon. He also uncovers a large number
of Byzantine and Old Russian sources dealing with holy fools who, for various reasons,
were not entered into the official lists of saints."--Jacket
