Document Summary

Oct. 6 - heroic (biblical) and noble (non-biblical. The sculptures would have one hand in front of the breasts and the other in front of the genital area: he is poking fun at this - she is covering it but her hand is very relaxed. Not mutually exclusive ideals now - this dichotomy existed back then though. Suzannah and the elders: included in the old testament, but was then removed from the bible - an apocryphal story, there was a girl named suzannah, she was married to an elder of the synagogue, set in. She made it a habit every day for her to bathe in her garden (it was a private garden). One day her husband is having a meeting with the elders of the synagogue in his house. Two of the elders happened to see suzannah bathing, they were so taken aback by her beauty and nudity that they trespassed into her yard.
