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 ).
