there been in the 13th century in Spain a zombie plague ? A text (where we can see the 67th Vocals) and the illustrated miniatures of the Cantigas de Santa Maria leave no other conclusion! It is reported of a good man who led a hospital where he was responsible for the poor. The devil goes to one of the deceased in the hospital (as shown as having two faces, Figure 3, 4 and 5) and enters the service of a good man to get him to try at hunting and fishing. A bishop, however, recognizes the dead, exorcised the devil (last picture). Only an exact translation of the original Galician-Portuguese final text will be able to provide information - but we say now: a picture is worth a thousand words! / / / Zombies in Spain in the 13th century? The (as far as we can ascertain it) 67th chant and the corresponding miniatures in the Cantigas de Santa Maria leave no room for doubt! They tell the tale of the devil inhabitating the body of a recently deceased, the creature then trying the good Doctor who cared for the now-dead man. The Bishop later exorcises the Devil. We can only hope that this exorcism destroyed the brain of the undead creature, else all Holidays on the Costa Brava are off! ( News via Manuel Clavel's Tio )
