>>24891648Self-Lobotomization for Dummies
The 1570 Roman Missal issued by Pope Pius V. It's not technically medieval but it's a codification of the Mass and very similar to late Medieval masses.
>>24891648The Divine Comedy and the Decameron.
>>24891648Not medieval times but Work and Days by Hesiod would be very affirming for the average medieval peasant.>>24891649>the medieval times were bad because my female jewish professor told me so
>>24891705If I sent you to the Middle Ages you would be begging to get back after one day.
>>24891648I'd recommend the works of Chretien De Troyes, he was the first medieval author that abandoned the shroud of anonymity. I'd say Parsifal is a good start.
>>24891712I'm not jewish so i'll be alright.
>>24891731you have never done a day of real work in your life you larping basement dwelling faggot.
>>24891735Whatever you say, rabbi.

The Discarded Image
>>24891648Are you the person from this thread: >>24887649I would just reiterate that understanding the origins of modernity and their contingent and theological nature, and how they largely arose from a mix of misunderstandings of the classical metaphysical tradition and people largely just forgetting it (due to disruptions, the mass execution of anyone with intellectual and spiritual authority during the wars of religion, the rise of the lightly educated reader versus the monk as the main judge of taste, etc.).You cannot get a medieval mindset today but what you can do is recognize what was valuable in it and deprogram yourself from the modern and post-modern mindset, and that is far more important.>>24891773Excellent recommendation.>>24891712I don't get how people are so sure of this. Moderns often choose to homestead, or travel to the developing world to assist with low tech agriculture, or programs like NOLS were they are in unforgiving climates and living out of tents for months at a time, and often describe it as the best experiences of their life. So too, people still join religious order. The ranks on Mount Athos have swelled. That people are attracted back to the comforts and distractions of modernity isn't anymore proof of its superiority then the fact that many alcoholics turn back to alcohol is of the superiority of being a drunk. Also, one might accept that there are positive elements of modernity, and positive advanced in technology, and still reject the overall intellectual, cultural, economic, and political framework of neo-liberalism that dominates the globe today.
>>24891648Realistically you'd most likely be an illiterate peasant so the medieval mindset requires you to not read :^)
Only the Bible and Guénon can do that for you.
>>24891811This is a different anon
>>24891712>>24891735I don't understand why people assume this line of inquiry means we intend to LARP as medieval peasants, or even why you'd necessarily assume anyone interested in this era is unaccustomed to hardship. My profession probably involves more physical exertion than what was required of the typical man of that age.

>>24891705>jew scholarship is bad but we should love an ancient Saturnian goyslave manual and an era where all scholarship was built on jewish fairy talesAight
>>24891925Oh, I get it now. We like to think of ourselves as wiser and more evolved in the current era.
