- Summary in English entitled: Byzantine holy folly.
- "A holy fool is a person who acts like a madman but is viewed by the medieval public as a normal person feigning insanity for ascetic or moralistic purposes. Only Orthodox Christianity recognized yurodivy as a type of saint and only two languages have a special word for a holy fool: Russian yurodivy and Greek salos." -- English summary of: Byzantine holy folly, p. 225.
