Sixth Annual Margaret Mann Phillips Lecture

Sixth Annual Margaret Mann Phillips Lecture [24] Sixth Annual Margaret Mann Phillips Lecture: Food and Drink in Erasmus' Gospel Paraphrases* by Jane E. Phillips E rasmus has kept us well informed about his personal attitudes and practices in matters of food and drink. Six of the Colloquies picture dinner parties, and in several of the others occasions of eating and drinking provide context or material for the conversations. The Adages, the educational writings, pass- ing comments in other works such as the epistolary introduction to his edition of Augustine (Ep. 2157), all convey his standards of social and dietary behav- ior. These are borne out and given even more particularity in countless letters where he describes, complains about, praises, or otherwise makes a fuss over the meals he was served, the company at those meals, and the effects on his health.

Abstract

[24] Sixth Annual Margaret Mann Phillips Lecture: Food and Drink in Erasmus' Gospel Paraphrases* by Jane E. Phillips E rasmus has kept us well informed about his personal attitudes and practices in matters of food and drink. Six of the Colloquies picture dinner parties, and in several of the others occasions of eating and drinking provide context or material for the conversations. The Adages, the educational writings, pass- ing comments in other works such as the epistolary introduction to his edition of Augustine (Ep. 2157), all convey his standards of social and dietary behav- ior. These are borne out and given even more particularity in countless letters where he describes, complains about, praises, or otherwise makes a fuss over the meals he was served, the company at those meals, and the effects on his health. Two scholars in the last two decades have surveyed this material. Lawrence V. Ryan reviewed the Colloquies, especially the six dinner-party ones, in 1977.1 The famous six-I will use Thompson's English titles-are "The Pro- fane Feast," "The Godly Feast," "The Poetic Feast," "The Fabulous Feast," "A Feast of Many Courses," and "The Sober Feast." "The Profane Feast" was part of the earliest material
