	Francois Rabelais - LoveToKnow 1911
		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.
		Rabelais is, in short, if he be read without prejudice, a humorist pure and simple, feeling often in earnest, thinking almost always in jest.
		It is not, indeed, to be contended that Rabelais was a man with whom religion was in detail a constant thought, that he had a very tender conscience or a very scrupulous orthodoxy.

	François Rabelais
		François Rabelais was born in 1484 (or 1483, 1490, 1495) near the town of Chinon in western France.
		Rabelais took the character of Gargantua from a booklet, which was sold in Lyons, and depicted the adventures of a giant famous in oral folk tradition.
		Rabelais, a sober man who drank nothing but water, is thought of as a lover of food and drink and a confirmed tippler." The author himself placed his books in the long line of heroic narratives, starting from Homer and Virgil.

	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' undaunted obsession with bodily functions shows his medical training, but his descriptions of the activities leading to excretion -- namely in the "Discourse of the Drinkers" section of "Gargantua and Pantagruel" -- portray a typically beer-soaked day in the life of a Medieval monk.
		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.

	Rabelais
		Rabelais Francois was one of the best satirical writers in modern world history.
		Although many of his works are not read by average readers, Rabelais' writing are still reknown for their unique “Rabelaisian” style which means “Characterized by coarse humor or bold caricature.” He has obviously influenced modern day literature as a role model for satire and humorous social commentary.
		Rabelais' ultimate goal was the discovery of the secret of life.

	M. Bajtin: El contexto de Francois Rabelais.
		Rabelais ha influido poderosamente no sólo en los destinos de la literatura y la lengua literaria francesa, sino tambin en la literatura mundial (probablemente con tanta intensidad como Cervantes).
		De ahí la soledad tan especial de Rabelais en el curso de los siglos siguientes: es imposible llegar a él a través de los caminos trillados que la creación artística y el pensamiento ideológico de la Europa burguesa, siguieron a lo largo de los últimos cuatro siglos.
		Y si bien es cierto que en ese tiempo encontramos numerosos admiradores entusiastas de Rabelais, es imposible, en cambio, hallar una comprensión total, claramente formulada, de su obra.

		Rabelais est un écrivain français, c'est le parfait modèle des humanistes de la Renaissance, qui luttent avec enthousiasme pour renouveler,à la lumière de la pensée antique,l'idéal philosophique et moral de leur temps.
		Rabelais réalisait ainsi un de ses rêves d'humaniste;il a visité les ruines, enrichi sa connaissance de l'art antique,et etudié de près les moeurs de la cour pontificale dont il fera une vive satire.
		Rabelais est donc un des membres fondateurs de l'humanisme,il a apporté beaucoup pour ce dernier.(nouveau concepts,nouvelles idées...).

	Rabelais
		Through an analysis of Rabelais’ satirical technique and by examining his social parody of the Medieval and the Renaissance man, we are able to better understand Rabelais’ introspection into the ideals of his own generation and to accept his argument that learning is transitory and often a necessary, yet futile, attempt to understand our world.
		Rabelais writes, “As Ponocrates grew familiar with Gargantua’s vicious manner of life, he began to plan a different course of instruction for the lad; but at first he let the latter go his own way, remembering that nature does not endure sudden changes without great violence” (124).
		Evident from this desperation, as portrayed in the endless thirst of Gargantua to be enlightened, Rabelais seems to suggest that the Renaissance scholars and Humanists are overwhelmed and should recognize that their own school of thought, like that of Medieval scholars is transitory, and in a sense, a futile attempt to understand the world.

	RABELAIS
		Rabelais, pendant q' il était.dans ce couvent, se livra à des grands travaux d' érudition.Il apprit le grec, étudia le droit, acquit des connaissances en histoire naturelle et en médecine et se pourvut enfin de cette science encyclopédique à laquelle prétendaient les docteurs de la Renaissance.
		Le langage de Rabelais, dans le prologue du Gargantua, n'est pas celui d'un auteur jusqu'alors inédit; le prologue du Pantagruel se rapporte bien, selon nous, au premier livre de Gargantua, et non à ces grandes et inestimables Chroniques du géant Gargantua, dans lesquelles M. Brunet a voulu voir un premier essai de Rabelais.
		Rabelais était pour la troisième fois à Rome au mois de février à l'époque de la naissance de Louis d'Orléans, deuxième fils de Henri II et de Catherine de Médicis.

	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
		Rabelais sera le pédagogue transcendantal d'une aventure gigantale de l'écrit.
		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.
		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.

	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 was not very happy with the intellectual climate at Fontenay.
		In 1542 Rabelais published a second volume in which we are told the life-story of Pantagruel's father, Gargantua, an equally formidable giant.
		He does not get the ancient medieval type of education in which learning by heart of meaningless things predominated, but a fairly rigorous study-schedule in which no time is wasted to give the student a 'universal' education.
