  • Life in the Middle Ages was a colossal religious game. The
    dominant value was salvation in a life hereafter. Emphasizing
    that "to divorce medieval hysteria from its time and place is
    not possible,"21 Gallinek observes:
    It was the aim of man to leave all things worldly as far behind as
    possible, and already during lifetime to approach the kingdom of
    heaven. The aim was salvation. Salvation was the Christian master
    motive.—The ideal man of the Middle Ages was free of all fear
    because he was sure of salvation, certain of eternal bliss. He was
    the saint, and the saint, not the knight nor the troubadour, is the
    veritable ideal of the Middle Ages.22
    He is a veritable swine.
    A fair is a veritable smorgasbord. (From ).
