QR code
"Les évangiles des quenouilles" by Fouquart, Duval, and Jean is a collection of medieval tales published in 1480. Six women gather over six nocturnal vigils to share their wisdom on everyday life—discussing remedies, recipes, sayings, advice, and prohibitions. Written in Oïl and Picard dialects, this work captures the folklore and beliefs of medieval Europe through the voices of women deemed "wise doctors and inventors." The collection achieved great success throughout the sixteenth
century and remains an important ethnological source. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
