Note 103 — MEDICINE IN THE LITERATURE OF THE MIDDLE AGES.

Thomas C. (Thomas Chalmers) Minor translation

In the happy Abbey of Theleme, that Gargantua builds, we see the inscription of Fourier’s phalanctory destined for the elect, with the inscription over the great door:

“Ci n’ entrez pas hypocrites, bigots, Vieulx matagots, mariteux, boursofles. “Haires, cagots, caphards, empantouples, Gueux mitoufles, frapparts escarnifles. “Ci n’ entrez pas, masche faim practiciens, Clercs, basochiens, mangeurs de populaire, Officiaulx, scribes et pharisiens, Juges anciens,” etc., etc.
