medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
"If you think it means 'nonsense or even lies told by
people who ought to know better', then perhaps that is a concept which might
usefully be applied in the study of hagiography."
Why? What's the use of a lie or something known to be false except to show
that some people were foolish enough to believe it? How does a lie advance
knowledge?
