NOTES VALENCIA Ethnology.

THE EASTER OF THE MONA (VI).

Considering that the ritual itself of the Passover of the Valencian monkey could wedge its rails in the Iberian Valencia and just go play specifying the contents of the basket of the monkey, which may be approaching a possible etymological origin of the word "monkey".

Previously, I have an interesting clause in the fact that both the Muslim chroniclers like the Christian chroniclers of the high and late Middle Ages, passed absolutely to give references village life plan, devoting itself mainly to issues of battles armies of mercenaries commanded by the "noble" generally intended to glorify the personages and his religion. For that reason, to find references to people That no choice but to glean from a multitude of texts, grouping tangential references. That then Ahmed Tahiri in the era of Muslim rule in relation Las clases populares in al-Andalus ", and its content and documentation atra, gave us to write about foot " The weak islamisacio of Amma or town plan Valencian .

The scene in the moments after the Christian reconquest is exactly the same, and references to nonexistent festivities. That could be the reason why we find the first reference text about the Easter cake is dating XV. But also lavender, could find some textual references that could be related. We could consider whether the snacks, beurages, meals, food and beverage "certain Prandi, bevragia, comestiones, his pasture potationes abadagia" , which led to undue bushings and fartades "ingurgitationes, you ebrietates comessationes indebitae" , which gave at certain times of the year "certain temporibus anni" in some places Tarragona Province, which is spoken of in the councils of Tarragona (1291-1292) and Lleida (1294), and comment on "ethnology Valencia Notes: The Porrati (IV)" could somehow describe the facts Easter cake of Valencia.

To complete the clause, it is curious that James I, "Book of Feyts" , writes that "these centers have the stat of the Easter Pug, who is ahead of Muruedre III for miles, and have stat here, even as you the rules, for II days, and Val corregren Second ... ". Badia Margarit, in "toponymie conquering Burriana according to Chronicle of James I" (p. 6 "La Corona de Aragón y las Lenguas ROMANIC" .- 1989) writes that "the story Campaign Burriana There are still two more mentions Toponymic, caused by those who do know the king that have been Puig of Easter " Adds that" we could not identify the Puig of Easter " saying" No doubt had this name one of the many hills or mountains that are north of Morvedre, but today has been no trace ". Manuel Gomez Civera and "The Jewish community of Morvedre" that invents "the hill very well could be the place where the Jewish community celebrated the Passover" and maintains that "... the anthroponym Puig Easter took the very presumably family converso in century XV ". Both because the Judeu not celebrated nor celebrate his Easter Leaving field as because having become anthroponym a Converso to Christianity ¿Unable month llogic thought Puig of Easter was site where both Christians as Muslims Valencians would eat the mona, celebrating equinox spring identificated Easter Christian? ¿We opposite first Reference Christian post reconquest which refers to Easter of mona Valencian?

Finishing subparagraph and escomençant in object of this article, we know that the study of the meaning of "Feast of the Mondain" Camp Talavera in Toledo, or "the móndidas" San Pedro Manrique Soria in, could closer to understanding both the content of the basket of monkey, a probable etymological origin.

The pagan origin of "the Mondain Talavera, melts revealed by Cervantes in Los Trabajos de Persiles and Segismunda" , talking "held great Feast of the peel that you bring your origin of many years that Christ naciese antes ... ". Caro Baroja analysis of the two parties, which basically consist of a private offering to the Virgin, between 31 and 76 ft his book "The rituals and myths equívocos" , bringing to the conclusion that the two derive from ancient rituals Greco-Roman to be held between 4 and 19 April, dedicated to the goddess of agriculture, Ceres of where the word cereal-derived. Caro Baroja concludes on p 57 of book cited that 'the voice' peel ', which comes from a neutral plural' Munda ', is related to "the idea of' mundum 'or' mundus Cereis’” , que es referia al contingut de les “cistae” o cistelles mistiques que s’oferien a la deesa Ceres , contingut “secret” per als no iniciats en el cult. Caro Baroja nos diu que en eixe contingut, “predominaban las tortas y pasteles de formas diversas” , cosa que comprovem quan Sant Climent d’Alejandria (c. 150- c. 215-217), en el seu llibre “Protrepticus” o “Exhortacio als grecs” , es burla del contingut de les cistelles mistiques dient que portaven Pastiços de llavoretes d’alegria (Sesamum orientale) i mel, coques en forma piramidal, globular and flat, in a way of little buttons navels, grains of salt, and snakes (or figures), in addition to grenades, tronchos plant, canyaferles, Hedra, pastiços Redon and poppy.

etymological basis of the proposal that "monkey" may derive from "Mondo" by the reduction in group-nd di-feel "Mondo" is the contents of a basket, This explains why all the Valencia say "monkey" all the contents of the picnic basket or Easter without match in the month pastiç representative, which in some places, would have taken the name of the set basket to be precisely that.

"And in relation to the contents of the basket? Pastiços predominate in different ways, and the "monkey" may have "Tony", "threads", "loaves," congrets, "reganyades," Boves cakes "bread socarrats" ... There is the "globular" and of "round" and we can not stop thinking about the "panou. There are some in the form of a serpent, and it turns out that archive is the most representative of the "monkey". Some of the seeds! Pastiços door! Find the pomegranate fruit, which here is not of this season and is replaced by orange. If we speak of tronchos of plant troncho What more representative than the ensisam, you can not miss the monkey in the basket? Lastly among Other things, "grains of salt." Is not that not be representative of the monkey stood Valencia "the ensisam, salt, grapefruit" (see above quote from Asin Arbos).

seems clear that the ceremonies dedicated to Ceres, Roman goddess of agriculture, related to the Greek Demeter, can not disassociate themselves rituals holding advent spring summer agricola held in "Nayruz. Interestingly know that few terracottas encounters in city Valencia d'epoca republican representing Ceres Could ascertained his cult en tierras Valencian. ( "A fundación Valencia (Hispania) " Miquel Ramón Martí Matías) Is desacralisaria until point the object secret an offering to Ceres finish joining party popular inclus giving him name?

The following article, Review all the different proposed etymologies that have taken the word "monkey".
