Le Saint Lévrier: Guinefort, guérisseur d'enfants depuis le XIIIe siècle

Jean-Claude Schmitt
4.9/5 (29963 ratings)
Description:The legend of a dog which is unjustly killed by its master in error, after it has defended his child from attack by a snake or wolf, appears in several popular cultures of Indo-European origin. This book concentrates on one local manifestation of the legend: a cult among the peasants of the Dombes, north of Lyons, who brought their sick child to the grave of 'Saint Guinefort', the martyred greyhound, for preservation from disease. Providing a rare access to the underlying cultural traditions of Europe, all too often submerged in the survivals of literate culture, this book will be welcomed by a wide range of historians and anthropologists.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
