Based on the South Slavonic hagiographic literature, the terms <em>physician </em>and <em>healer </em>are defined and specified. The study focuses on the mental disease (insanity), which according to the methodology of Larchet is three types: somatic nature of madness, the madness of demonic origin, and madness of spiritual origin. Also partly concerns the problem of God fools’ insanity. </p>}, journal={Studia Ceranea}, author={Todorova, Ekaterina}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={463–477} }
