Trama

By means of a philologically-based analysis, this study attempts to initiate discussion of an historical reconstruction of the putative analogy between ergotism, the ignis sacer, and St. Anthony's fire, while systematically investigating for the first time the different meanings of the expression ignis sacer via the semantic transformations the term has undergone from Antiquity to the Middle Ages.
