1 the abbot of misrule
ист.глава рождественских увеселений, "пира дураков"; см. тж. the Abbot of Unreason и the master of unreasonAt the time of the Reformation, wherever the Protestants prevailed, every effort was made to put a check on the Cult of Folly. The Puritans, more especially in Britain, did all in their power to quash, not only what remained of the heathen celebration, but all dancing, diversion and entertainment. The "Lord of Misrule" was preached against at Cambridge; at Oxford he was abolished. In 1555 the "Abbot of Unreason" was done away with in Scotland. (L. Eckenstein, ‘A Spell of Words’, ch. VI) — Во время Реформации везде, где господствовали протестанты, делалось все возможное для того, чтобы положить конец культу дурачеств. Пуритане, особенно в Великобритании, всячески старались запретить не только то, что осталось от старого языческого празднества, но также танцы и другие развлечения. В Кембридже в проповедях поносили "владыку буянов". В Оксфорде это звание было упразднено. В 1555 году его упразднили и в Шотландии.
