Puy (society)
A ''puy'' or ''pui'' was a society, often organised as a guild or confraternity, sometimes along religious (Catholic) lines, for the patronisation of music and poetry, typically through the holding of competitions. The term ''puy'' derives from the Latin ''podium'', meaning "a place to stand", referring probably to a raised platform from which either the contests delivered their works or the judges listened to them. ''Puys'' were established in many cities in northern and central France, the Low Countries, and even England during the High Middle Ages and the Renaissance, usually encouraging composition in the Old French language, but also in Latin and Occitan. The typical ''puy'' was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Membership was regulated by statutes to which those entering had to swear. These governed the election of executive positions within the ''puy'' and the benefits inhering in members. Members could be clerical or lay, male or female, noble or bourgeois, urban or rural.

Temples were built at the summit, including a Gallo-Roman temple of Mercury, the ruins of which were discovered in 1873.

In 1875, a physics laboratory was built at the summit. Since 1956, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
