Les Pantagruelines Pronostications "This year, the blind shall see very little, the deaf will not hear well, the mute won't speak ; the rich will live somewhat better than the poor, and the healthy better than the sick. There will be no cure to old age this year, because of all the past years..."
Rabelais' "Pantagruelines Pronostications", written in the style of former almenachs, is a prediction that displays the constant desire to make fun of stupid or gullible people, as well as of those who believe anything. Reminds you of something ?
Warning :This document is only available in French.
Francis Rabelais (1483 or 1494-1553)
Born near Chinon, he was probably a novice in the Franciscan convent of La Baumette, near Angers, then a monk in the convent "des Cordeliers" in Puy-St-Martin (Fontenay-le-Comte). There, his Greek books were confiscated from him ( As appears in a letter by Budé). Rabelais also became a member of the local humanist and law-oriented circles (Lamy, Tiraqueau). He then entered the Benedictine convent of Maillezais, near Poitiers. In 1530, he got his "Bachelier" diploma from the University of Montpellier. He then published several translations of medicine and science works with Sébastien Gryphe Publishings, in Lyons, where he worked at "Hôtel-Dieu" hospital. He remained under Jean Du Bellay's protection. In 1532 "

"Positively Fertile," Francesco Colonna, Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (French Edition, 1561)
An Interpreter of Hard English Words In the late 16th century notions of fancy and fantasy were tied to visuality and optics. When the technologies of printing and illustration took off in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, books about dreams and diseases of the mind were illustrated and ornamented with fantastical grotesques. Masques Anatomy of Melancholy and later seventeenth-century discourses on mind and soul; and the fantastically illustrated dream visions of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili The Purple Island.

"Pantagruel", "Gargentua"
Description of the Art Work
"Pantagruel" 1533: The story of Pantagruel, the giant, son of Gargentua, their feats, their wars and adventures. The framework of a mock-heroic chivalrous romance, he laughed at many types of sophistry including the legal obsurantism and hermeticism, which he nevertheless preferred to the scholasticism of the Sorbonne. In one chapter, he praises the divine gift of fertile matrimony as compensation for death caused by Adam's fall. "Gargentua" 1535: The story of Pantagruel, the giant, son of Gargentua, the giant, their feasts, their wars and adventures. Supports royalist causes espoused by Jean du Bellay, who had been created by the Cardinal and essentially by King Francis I. Rabelais preaches steadfastness in face of persecution.

    Fashioning Gargantua
    Rabelais and the history of costume Lance K. Donaldson-Evans
    University of Pennsylvania W . Both of these scholars have interesting and important things to say about clothes, and what I am proposing here is a supplement to and not a substitute for their readings. I shall approach the subject from a different perspective in order to examine costume in literary texts through the looking glass of fashion history, and to determine, as far as possible, its function in specific texts of Rabelais. An awareness of the history of clothes, of their connotations not just as symbols but as those material (pun intended) objects meant to be worn, considers one of the fundamental driving forces of fashion to be the need to maintain sexual interest by highlighting different parts of the body in successive sartorial changes. Whether these transformations are wholly attributable to sexual interest or not, they certainly show a heightened interest in the human body and its various possible manifestations. Moreover, as we shall see, the erotic dimension of costume clearly inspired Rabelais's treatment of clothing in the Gargantua Certain late medieval texts, such as the

How Was This Iroquoian Dialect Saved From Oblivion
By Charles Marius Barbeau The Voyages
Arabian Nights For those were the days of an El Dorado. Charles V of Spain, with the help of Fernando Cortes and the Conquistadors, was busy draining the fabulous wealth of Mexico, Yucatan, and Peru. Francis I, his great rival to the north, also wanted a share in the bounty. And the target of his ambition was India, Cathay (China), and Cipangu (Japan). First Voyages Pantagruel Hungedo honnesta (apples, plums,squashes), sahe (beans), caheya (fruit) ... ; all of them Iroquoian. We find them in the text of his First Voyage The short vocabulary - less than sixty words - appended with translations at the end of the First Voyage could have been compiled only after the two captives had learned a little French, or sign language alone at first could bridge the gap. This list obviously was made by a scholar rather than by a sea-wolf like Cartier whose knowledge was limited to his own More extensive and accurate is the next linguistic effort. It contains about 160 words and expressions which figure at the end of the

Intellectual Life
Intellectual Life under Francis I., Henri II., 1515-1559

The period between 1515 and 1559 saw the zenith of RENAISSANCE culture in France. FRANCIS I. had the chateaus of CHAMBORD (on the Loire) and FONTAINEBLEAU built, the chateaux de BLOIS and de AMBOISE reconstructed; he called to his court Italian renaissance artists such as LEONARDO DA VINCI (he lived in Amboise from 1516 until his death in 1519), BENVENUTO CELLINI and ANDREA DEL SARTO. He was patron of French writers such as FRANCOIS RABELAIS (1494-1553, Gargantua and Pantagruel, 1532-1552), GUILLAUME BUDE (1467-1540, the founder of the Bibliotheque the Fontainebleau which became the nucleus of the Bibliotheque Nationale) and CLEMENT MAROT (1496-1544, poet). JEAN CLOUET (c.1485-c.1540) was Francis' court painter.
In 1529, Francis I. founded the COLLEGE DE FRANCE as a (secular) institution of higher learning; Guillaume Bude was charged with its organization..
Henri II. continued in the footsteps of his father; he built the chateau de CHENONCEAU, which he presented to his mistress Diane de Poitiers in 1547. In 1533, Henri II. had been married to the 14-year-old CATHERINE DE MEDICI who, in order to conceal her shortness, wore shoes with high heels, thus introducing them to the world of fashion. Unloved by the people when queen, neglected by her husband who preferred mistress Diane de Poitiers, her time was to come after Henri II.'s death in 1559.

Newberry Consort Repertoire
Paris from Villon to Rabelais: Music of the Streets, Theater, and Courts
Polyphony
One of the great accomplishments of medieval civilization in the West was the writing of part-music, or polyphony. Almost by definition, paradoxically, polyphony belongs to the eye as well as the ear, even though it can be memorized and improvised. The earliest organo and conducti (types of medieval polyphony) layered and juxtaposed melodies and texts in ways clear only to those who performed them. For example, the slow-moving tenors upon which such music was built were based on a few words of scripture spread out syllabically over the entire length of the piece. Only the eye of the singer could take in the underlying "truth" that provided the foundation for the composition.
Polyphony in Paris
By the mid-thirteenth century, Parisian clerks began to apply these learned skills to more playful secular music. They gleefully combined courtly love songs, bawdy street cries, and bits of Latin plainchant to provide an ironic, multi-faceted view of emotional reality, as decorative and trenchant as a miniature by Pucelle. Young urban intellectuals relished their city life and created dramatic tension in their art through a close juxtaposition of erudition and vulgarity. Those monuments of French medieval literature, the

William of Schyren
by T. Apiryon
This Saint is very obscure, there is no historical personage of any note whatsoever who was known by this name. Some have speculated that the reference may be to William I "The Conqueror," Norman King of England (1027 - 1087 e.v.), or to the medieval English logician, William of Shyreswood or Sherwood (died 1267 e.v.), or to the great historian of the crusades, William of Tyre (1130-1187 e.v.), or to the scholastic philosopher William of Occam (died c. 1349) or even to Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany (1859-1941 e.v.) Generally, such speculations have been based on the assumption that the name "Schyren" is a typographical for some other word or name, either known or unknown. None of the ancient Counts of Scheyern bore the name William or Wilhelm. There were, however, several dukes of the later Wittelsbach period with the name William. Little is written about William I of Bavaria (1333 - 1389 e.v.). William IV of Bavaria (1493 - 1550 e.v.) is noted for his opposition to Lutheranism when nearly all of the neighboring nobility were embracing it, and for inviting the Jesuits to Bavaria, who established their headquarters at the university of Ingolstadt. William V of Bavaria (1548 - 1626 e.v.) is noted for his alliance with the Habsburgs and expansion of Bavarian territories. Duke Otto II of Bavaria (1206 - 1270 e.v.) is said to have been one of the patrons of the unnamed minnesinger known only as "der Tannhäuser."

Dear Readers, Welcome to a new issue of Fashion Finds! I hope you will find many things to read and enjoy. This issue was very exciting to put together; we met lots of new and talented people, and discovered some wonderful new talent. As we were assembling the issue, watching the images come together, observing the melding of different ideas, I started to think about what I wanted to say in my letter to you all. It came to me while riding on the bus, heading down 5th Avenue on a beautiful spring day. From the bus I could see Central Park, bursting forth in all its lush glory and intensity of color: flowers, trees and bushes all in bloom. That day I was feeling somewhat "existential." While looking out onto this beauty, a little tired and despondent, I started to muse over the disparity of the perfection of Nature and the imperfection of Life. I began to think of a Utopian world, a personal version, where the physical beauty that surrounds us can also be within us free of care and worry, no chaos, no anarchy, no sadness, no desperation.
