THE RITES OF VIOLENCE: RELIGIOUS RIOT IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY FRANCEстатья из журнала
Аннотация: These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee ... Ye shall utterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which he shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place [Deuteronomy xii.1-3].Thus a Calvinist pastor to his flock in 1562. 1 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying Let us go serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers . . .Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him ... But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put Him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people ....If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, Certain men, the children of Belial are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known . . .Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly and all that is therein [Deuteronomy xiii.6, 8-9, 12-13, I 5]-And [Jehu] lifted up his face to the window and said, Who is on my side?Who?And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.And he said, Throw her down.So they threw [Jezebel] down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot. . .And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands ... And [Jehu] said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah . . .saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field [II Kings ix.32-3, 35-7].Thus in 1568 Parisian preachers held up to their Catholic parishioners the end of a wicked idolater. 1Whatever the intentions of pastors
