This study on the boy bishop's feast in western Europe deals with a subject that has been hitherto neglected by medievalists. It is situated between different fields of research : the study of rituals and festive culture, the history of premodern theatre and liturgy as well as the history of premodern theatre and liturgy as well as the history of childhood. The book tackles this subject from a geographical and temporal macro-perspective, covering iconographical and textual documents belonging to 150 different institutions (cathedrals, cloisters, schools) from the 11th to the 16th century. In contrast to a rather misleading perspective of scholars who regarded the feast as an element of the culture of laughter and indirectly associating it with carnival, this study shows the boy bishop's feast as a liturgical feast that was closely linked with the cult of the Holy Innocents and Saint Nicholas. Thus the book provides new insights into the late medieval culture of piety as well as religious ritual and concretises the inherent logic of liturgical festivals, which gradually became enhanced and transformed outside the liturgy. The book also contributes to the history of childhood by looking at the role and function of children in medieval clerical communities. There the boy bishop's feast not only was an occasion for joy and play, it also prepared the children for their roles in later life and helped the hole community to rememorize the salvation story as well as universal Christian virtues - like innoncence, humility and purity - which the boy bishop impersonated.

Fêtes de précepte, fêtes civiques, jours fériés, autant de réalités qui, dès le Moyen Âge, à l'époque moderne et jusqu’à nos jours, rythmèrent le temps des sociétés occidentales. Ces fêtes sous-tendent une adhésion à des valeurs – qu’elles relèvent du temps sacré ou du temps profane –, mais aussi un rapport au travail – proscrit à ces occasions. Sont ainsi envisagés l’origine des fêtes chrétiennes, leur développement, les obligations liées et, en corollaire, les comportements qu’elles suscitent, qu’ils s’inscrivent ou non dans la norme. En lien intervient la question de l’attitude des autorités ecclésiastiques et civiles face à d’éventuelles déviances, en prenant en compte les ruptures confessionnelles (protestantisme), l’évolution des sociétés et les critiques formulées sur la base de motifs sociaux, économiques ou philosophiques. Le XIXe siècle marquera un tournant fondamental qui, tout en établissant de nouvelles fêtes, liées à la laïcisation en vigueur, conservera un statut privilégié à nombre de moments religieux
