Excerpt(s): But more than happy accidents may explain hemp's sacred role. Many religious scholars suggest that the ancients would naturally have expected plants to hold the secrets of the heavens. Plants draw nourishment from both moisture above and soil below. As such, our predecessors may have viewed them as obvious intermediaries between heaven and earth and thus the perfect key to the divine mysteries. And because of hemp's multitude of practical uses, the ancients might have looked to it first. (page 75) The use of cannabis whether to commune with the divine or to heal or simply to celebrate was branded witchcraft, for which practitioners could be severely punished, even put to death. Among those charged was Joan of Arc, whom the inquisitors accused of using several witch herbs, including cannabis, to hear voices.

Extractions: Biographie de François Rabelais (vers 1483-1553) François Rabelais serait né en 1483 ( la date de 1494 est également avancée) à la métairie de la Devinière, près de Chinon en Touraine. Il est le fils d'Antoine Rabelais, sénéchal de Lerné et avocat. Il est novice chez les franciscains de la Baumette, près d'Angers. Il suit des études de théologie. Il fait la connaissance de Pierre Amy et d'André Tiraqueau qui l'initient à l'hellénisme. Rabelais est frère prêcheur et mène une vie monastique à l'abbaye de Fontenay le Comte, en Vendée. Les premiers écrits que l'on ait retrouvé de François Rabelais datent de cette période. Il s'agit d'une correspondance entre Rabelais et l'humaniste Guillaume Budé. Il entreprend une traduction de l'historien grec Hérodote Une lettre de Guillaume Budé nous permet de savoir que Rabelais et son ami Pierre Lamy se sont faits confisquer, cette année-là, leurs livres grecs par leurs supérieurs. En effet, suite aux commentaires d'Erasme sur le texte grec des évangiles, une directive de la Sorbonne interdit leur lecture.

Extractions: Intro Biographie Oeuvres Liens François Rabelais (vers 1483-1553) Polémiste, encyclopédiste, savant, grand voyageur épris de tolérance, moraliste sans morale, éducateur, ivrogne, humaniste camouflant son humanisme sous des torrents d'obscénités, romancier se servant du réalisme au seul bénéfice de l'imagination, linguiste maître du langage et créateur de mots, Rabelais est un précurseur dans tous les domaines et la plus comique de nos énigmes. Jean d'Ormesson Une autre Histoire de la littérature Tome I On sait peu de choses de la personnalité de Rabelais, si bien que toutes les hypothèses ont été envisagées. Pour certains, c'est un ivrogne et un jouisseur; pour d'autres un érudit et un travailleur infatigable. Pour les uns, un passionné des lettres; pour les autres un paillard qui égare le lecteur dans des festins orgiaques. Son parcours, bien que peuplé de plusieurs zones d'ombre est un peu mieux connu : François Rabelais a d'abord été moine, puis traducteur, médecin et enfin écrivain. Son nom est indissociable des deux héros auxquels il a consacré ses écrits : Gargantua et Pantagruel, deux géants, père et fils. Ce n'est pas lui qui les a créés : ils sont en effet issus de la littérature du Moyen âge. Tout juste, s'est il contenté de transformer le petit diable marin assoiffé en un géant en quête de vin mais aussi de savoir et de toutes les richesses du monde.

Extractions: Following two trips to Italy, Rabelais resided and taught at Montpellier. In 1540 he moved to Paris. During this time he was writing his third book in the series. The first two books were read to Francis I, who was so pleased with them that he granted a license for the publication of the third, Tiers Livre, which appeared in 1546. Quart Livre followed in 1552. In 1547 Francis died, and a reaction against liberty of thought immediately began. Rabelais fled to Metz, and then to Rome. He subsequently became curate of Meudon, where he spent the remainder of his life quietly. Rabelais died in Paris, probably on April 9, 1553. In Pantagruel and Gargantua broad humor is mingled with keen social satire, political insight, and pedagogic wisdom. Rabelais was neither a drunken buffoon nor a profound philosopher, as different legends have represented him, but a genius who, like the 18th-century English satirist Jonathan Swift, gave satirical expression to the philosophical and political concerns of his contemporaries. Rabelaisian ideas and attitudes may be found in the work of such 20th-century writers as James Joyce and Henry Miller

Extractions: Observation Leadership needs increase exponentially when cultural change substantially and concurrently affects all major institutions. Europeans of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries experienced a complex of changes-economic, political, technological, religious, scientific, aesthetic-which demanded a substantial increase in the pool of leadership capacity. That, in turn, required enlarged provisions for schooling and increased access to schools. The fullest expression of the need to broaden formal educational opportunity came in calls for universal schooling. Medieval prejudices continuing through the Renaissance assumed the futility of universal schooling. Prejudice notwithstanding, convictions and trends moved in the direction of enlarged access. Enlarged access to schooling entailed increasing the number of schools and putting them near potential student populations. While potential student populations existed in towns and villages, finding a sufficient number of competent schoolmasters presented extraordinary challenges.

Extractions: Akira Rabelais SPELLEWAUERYNSHERDE Samadhi Sound ss003 In case you're wondering how that title should be pronounced, try "spell wavering shard" - Texas-born laptop whizkid Akira Rabelais' fondness for Middle English is also apparent in the titles of the album's seven tracks, each of which originates in definitions culled from the Oxford English Dictionary, which he describes as one of his favourite books. "1382 Wyclif. Gen. ii.7" (track one) refers to the year in which John Wyclif, who was responsible for the first complete version of both Old and New Testament in English, was excommunicated, and its full title incorporates a quotation from the Book of Genesis. The "Glower" of track two (as printed on the CD sleeve: "1390 Glower Conf. II.20") should in fact be "Gower", referring as it does to the poet John Gower, whose Confessio Amantis was one of the first epic poems in Middle English. "Promp. Parv." (track three, "1440 Promp. Parv. 518/20) is the standard abbreviation for Promptorium parvulorum sive clericorum, lexicon Anglo-latinum princeps, one of the first important Latin / English lexicons dating from, yes, 1440. 1483 (track four, "1483 Caxton Golden Leg. 208b/2") was the year printer William Caxton published the first English version of Jacobus de Voragine's Golden Legend or The Lives of the Saints. 1559 was the year of publication of William Cuningham's The Cosmographical Glasse, a treatise on mathematical methods for depicting the universe, hence "1559 W. Cuningham Cosmogr. Glasse 125". After the sixth track, which revels in the name "(Gorgeous curves lovely fragments labyrinthed on occasions entwined charms, a few stories at any longer swarn to gathered from a guileless angel and the hilt edges of old hearts, if they do in the guilt of deep despondency)" - actually a pretty good description of what goes on in the piece -, the final "1671 Milton Samson 1122" refers to Milton's Samson Agonistes, published in 1671 in a volume also containing the four books of Paradise Regain'd. The quotation "add thy Spear / A Weavers beam, and seven-times-folded shield" indeed comes from line 1122. Intrigued? Wait until you visit Akira Rabelais' wonderful website (go to: akirarabelais.com), a veritable treasure trove of similar semantic puzzles, including sizeable extracts from works by Galway Kinnell, Petronius Arbiter, Pablo Neruda, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Bruno Schulz, Jorge Luis Borges, Shinmen Musashi and, of course, a couple of chapters by the original Rabelais, Francois (1483 - 1553). In an introductory commentary on this album available for consultation on the Samadhi Sound website, his younger American namesake writes: "It's interesting how words and meaning evolve over time. It's like a secret natural history of human thought." The same could be said of Rabelais' work both as a poet, musician and software designer - his Argeiphontes Lyre has been enthusiastically taken up by several notable figures in the electronica world, including Robin Rimbaud and Terre Thaemlitz. While on Eisoptrophobia (2001), Rabelais used his self-designed filters to rework piano music, and ...benediction, draw two years later was sourced in his electric guitar, the raw material here is a collection of forlorn, windswept archive recordings of a cappella Icelandic folk music he came across in a closet in Valencia CA. "I didn't want to abstract it so much that it lost its essential quality," wrote Rabelais of the source material: "I didn't want to damage the fabric of the original language, I wanted to set it, cast it in a certain light." The resulting music is quite extraordinary: a curious and compelling mixture of the medieval and the modern, which, as one critic puts it rather memorably, "despite its resonating sadness [..] grows on you like moss." On the opening track a single vocal line slips gently into a kind of canonic imitation of itself as a cloud of reverberant resonance drifts in from afar. It's alarmingly simple and direct, yet headscratchingly complex at the same time - try humming along and see if you can manage it. "1390 Glower Conf. II. 20" is, at least at the outset, more straightforward, but Rabelais' filters work in mysterious ways, giving the illusion that time is slowing down, and erasing memory along the way. This curious and unnerving sensation continues in the third track "1440 Promp. Parv. 518/20", and on the centrepiece of the album, the 21-minute "1483 Caxton Golden Leg. 208b/2", time seems to grind to a halt altogether, the voices gathering into an eerie microtonal cloud that recalls the Ligeti choral music ("Requiem" and "Lux Aeterna") used to such memorable effect in 2001 - and Rabelais' music is every bit as mysterious and beautiful as Kubrick's inscrutable black obelisk. After this, the simplicity of the brief (44 second) "1559 W. Cuningham Cosmogr. Glasse 125" is a masterly touch, clearing the air perfectly for track six, the most melodically and harmonically daring of Rabelais' "seven sisters", in which his treatments dimple the surface of the music with wider, more expressive intervals. The closing "1671 Milton Samson 1122", apart from a brief reprise of the song that had featured in track two (transposed a semitone down, and not the same recording, apparently), floats inside the reverb cloud. "I try to connect to something ineffable and then transmit it in some way," writes Akira Rabelais. As his titles and texts reference a period of human history when developments in human thought and language were inextricably linked with liturgical practice, it's not surprising perhaps to find a Russian icon adorning the CD cover, though in Lia Nalbantidou's photograph - which predates the album and which was specifically selected for it by Samadhi Sound's David Sylvian - it hangs above dowdy wallpaper in a room full of drab furniture. "Organic is what I go for," said Rabelais in an earlier interview. "I don't like sanitized, too-clean sound; it doesn't seem real to me." Real or imaginary, clear or confusing, mundane or ethereal, ancient nightmare or modern dream, Spellwauerynsherde is one of the most original and beautiful musical works of recent times. -DW
