The Daisy Sutra by Helen Weaver
In a fresh examination of the French ceremonial entry, Neil Murphy considers the role these events played in the negotiation between urban elites and the Valois monarchy for rights and liberties. Moving away from the customary focus on the pageantry, this book focuses on how urban governments used these ceremonies to offer the ruler (or his representatives) petitions regarding their rights, liberties and customs. Drawing on extensive research, he shows that ceremonial entries lay at the heart of how the state functioned in later medieval and Renaissance France.Helen Weaver translated over fifty books from the French including Antonin Artaud: Selected Writings (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), a 1976 Finalist for the National Book Award in Translation. She was co-author and general editor of the Larousse Enyclopedia of Astrology and author of The Daisy Sutra, a book on animal communication. She died in April of 2021.
