The present volume collects the contributions of the symposium Holy Fools and Divine Madmen, held in Munich 2015. Employing interdisciplinary approaches these studies cover a wide geographical and cultural range, from Byzantium westward to Italy and Ireland, and eastward to Islamic Iran, and to India and Tibet."--
