Abstract
The review considers the monographic work “The Image of the Holy Fool in the Word and Depiction” by O. A. Tuminskaya and N. Z. Gayevskaya (2021), dedicated to shedding light on the image of the holy fool in literature and art in a comprehensive analytical manner. Analysing numerous iconographic examples, referring to a wide range of sources, the authors of the monograph trace the parallels of the creation of the image of the holy fool in iconography and hagiography. Being novel in its content, methodology, having an interdisciplinary nature that combines historical, art historical, anthropological approaches, the reviewed publication makes a significant contribution to the study of foolishness for Christ.
