	François Rabelais
		Rabelais wrote a panegyrical memoir of Guillaume, which is lost, and the year before saw the publication of an edition of Gargantua and Pantagruel, book I, together (both had been repeatedly reprinted separately), in which some dangerous expressions were cut away.
		According to some expositors, including Fleury, Rabelais is a sober reformer, an apostle of earnest work, of sound education, of rational if not dogmatic religion, who wraps up his morals in a farcical envelope partly to make them go down with the vulgar and partly to shield himself from the consequences of his reforming zeal.
		Rabelais is the incarnation of the "esprit Gaulois", a jovial, careless soul, not destitute of common sense or even acute intellectual power, but first of all a good fellow, rather preferring a broad jest to a fine-pointed one, and rollicking through life like a good-natured undergraduate.

	François Rabelais
		Rabelais wrote various works, including almanacs, but he was chiefly known for the celebrated romance entitled "La Vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel".
		This work comprises four books which appeared from 1532 (or 1533) to 1552; a fifth, the most daring in its ideas, appeared after the death of its author (1562-64); it is not certain that it is his.
		Rabelais was a revolutionary who attacked all the past, Scholasticism, the monks; his religion is scarcely more than that of a spiritually-minded pagan.

		Rabelais the humanist prefigured Swift, Voltaire, Wilde, and the NEA Four in his refusal to allow his book to be labeled "infectious" because of its content.
		Rabelais was enthused by both knowledge and drinking, and he often used one as a metaphor for the other.
		Rabelais was delighted when the first printing presses were unveiled; the young Gargantua’s findings pay tribute to Rabelais’ love for the printed word, and his desire to keep it sacred no matter how profane.

		No one reading Rabelais without parti pris, but with a good know-ledge of the history and literature of his own times and the times which preceded him, can have much difficulty in appreciating his book.
		He had evidently during his long and studious sojourn in the cloister (a sojourn which was certainly not less than five-andtwenty years, while it may have been five-and-thirty, and of which the studiousness rests not on legend but on documentary evidence) acquired a vast stock of learning.
		Here and there persons are glanced at, while the whole scenery of his birthplace and its neighbourhood is curiously worked in; but for the most part the satire is typical rather than individual, and it is on the whole a rather negative satire.

	Rabelais, Francis de Sales and the Abbaye de Thélème
		Rabelais was a close friend and admirer of Erasmus, who had a great influence on his writings, especially in Gargantua and Pantagruel.
		Here Rabelais wants to contrast the life of the Thelemites with that led by the majority of monks and religious of the time, who, by their lack of self-discipline, compromised their evangelical freedom in order to merit.
		Rabelais in a letter to Erasmus considers him to be one of his "dieux tutelaires," to borrow Guy Patin's expression.

	Rabelais ( Francois Rabelais ) par Manuel de Dieguez
		Le langage panthéistique de Rabelais évoque, par contre, la plongée d'un corps qui explorerait les terres, les mers, les montagnes, les fleuves, les ossements, les artères, les intestins, les estomacs, les boyaux culiers, les cervelles, les lois, les corps d'armée, les Écritures.
		Chez Érasme, comme chez Rabelais, l'analyse du discours, notamment monacal, demeure donc féconde : le langage régénéré doit ramener au silène de l'esprit, et déboucher sur l'espérance théologique.
		Rabelais a donc rédigé froidement le récit historique avec le texte de David sur sa table, comme Dieu le Père raconte les guerres dans Bossuet avec le livre du destin sous les yeux.

	Gargantúa y Pantagruel; François Rabelais
		Rabelais en su obra ha construido un juego de ambigüedades, y se ha servido de un arte combinatorio, donde no solo usa lo heredado y no tiene interés en perderlo sino que a la vez introduce lo nuevo: Todas las nuevas ideas que trae consigo este nuevo despertar, el Renacimiento.
		La obra de Rabelais se centra en unos elementos muy marcados como la pedagogía y la didáctica, en lo cómico y la risa, en la sátira, así como un elaborado lenguaje del que se sirve para buscar los efectos que quiere; descoloca la realidad vigente para colocarla en posición auténtica y provocante.
		Rabelais no tenía la intención de que Thélème fuera un convento tradicional, sobre este diálogo vemos como el monje no quiere apelar a las normas y transgrede todos los convencionalismos propios de un convento de esta época.

	MEMO - Le site de l'Histoire
		Rabelais travaille aux Histoires d'Hérodote quand la faculté de théologie et les supérieurs ecclésiastiques interdisent la langue grecque: pour poursuivre ses études, Rabelais change en 1524 de couvent et rentre chez les bénédictins de Maillezais.
		A l'heure où François I er crée le Collège des lecteurs royaux (futur Collège de France), en 1529, Rabelais adhère avec conviction et enthousiasme aux idées de l'humanisme: sous la lointaine paternité morale de Guillaume Budé, il milite pour le retour aux langues anciennes et pour l'extension des savoirs.
		Enfin, Rabelais reste en conformité avec le programme de la monarchie française: avec le cardinal du Bellay, puis avec son frère Guillaume de Langey, c'est aux alliances et à la diplomatie européennes qu'il travaille, et son Gargantua est un éloge vibrant de la monarchie éclairée par le savoir.

	The Alchemist Monk Francois Rabelais
		Rabelais was so enamored with hemp that in his estimation it stood at the very pinnacle of plant life: “in this pantagruel ion have I found so much efficacy and energy, so much completeness and excellency, so much exquisiteness and rarity, and so many admirable effects and operations of a transcendent nature....”
		Rabelais was more than familiar with the alchemical literature that circulated so covertly at that time, and he incorporated the secret language of this hidden art into his writings.
		Rabelais was quite an old man at the time his books were published, and he knew it was time to reveal his secret to mankind more plainly, lest it be lost forever.

		Rabelais, trasferitosi a Parigi, continuò tuttavia i suoi studi ed ebbe due figli dalla relazione con una vedova; esercitò tra l'altro la professione di medico per l'ospedale pubblico di Lione.
		Rabelais si rivela un autore affascinante non solo per la sua vita movimentata, ma soprattutto per l'originalità della sua opera, nella quale affiorano gli argomenti principali dell'Umanesimo: il rifiuto della cultura e del modo di pensare del passato recente, l'esaltazione della fisicità, la conoscenza del mondo classico.

		Marked with the same warm humor, obsession with food, and scatological wit of Pantagruel, Gargantua is a further striking burlesque on Rabelais' contemporaries and a glorious outpouring of Renaissance plenitude.
		In Gargantua (1534), old-fashioned scholastic pedagogy is ridiculed and contrasted with the humanist ideal of King Francis I, whose efforts to reform the French church Rabelais supported.
		He consults various prognosticators, allowing Rabelais to hold forth on sex, love, and marriage, and to satirize fortune tellers, judges, and poets.
