: Fresh Verdicts on Joan of Arc (1996)
Un évêque du XVe siècle défend les voix célestes de Jeanne d’Arc (Jane Marie Pinzino)
161Speaking of Angels: A Fifteenth-Century Bishop in Defense of Joan of Arc’s Mystical Voices
In the Rehabilitation Trial of 1456, Bishop Elie de Bourdeilles confronts the Condemnation Trial verdicts and narrates a salvation history of the French people with Joan of Arc as God’s protagonist. The truth of this trial testimony lies not in its literal factualness about Joan of Arc but in its vitality as a popular myth of French cultural self-definition.
