Woman: Or today's l,.Ieei th€ /utholwe're talking to David
Stourton, author of4 srort Hisrary oliugglng
Dav d, welcome to the

David: Thanks
Woman: Now, lsuppose we
allhave
a b.oad idea ofwhat
juggling
k, but could

you
tellus whatyou mean by
'jusslins'?
David: 5ure.lpretty much stuck to the iladitionalidea
of
juggling.
l thirk
the
dktiorary calls
jt
keeping
two or more objects in
lheairatonetime
by
alternately tossingand catching them'.In the
professlon
we cauthat'toss
jugglinS'.
l thirk that's
the type ofjusslifs most
p€ople
are familiarwith
Haslugglngbeen around for a longtme?
0h
yes.
I found references to
jugslins
from more
ihan
jooo years

ago. There afe some Egyplian
iomb
painiinss
which showjusslers from the
l\4iddle Kinsdom
period,
and there3 an ancieni
Egypiian statue of a
juggler
in the Siaatliche
David:
woman:
what about written records?
David: Well,
ihe earliestwritten
record
ihatwe know ofis
from ancient China. Therc\ a book from the
3rd
or
4th
ceftury s.which describes ajugglerwho couLd
throw sevef swords in the air
Woman: Thatsounds lkesorneth rgfrorn on€ ofthose
Chinese mart aL ads nrov esl
David: Yes,
jusslJrswrh
swords is a v/ell-€srabl shed
tradlion lf the Far East
Woman: 50 was

jugslifs
confined to the A4iddle East and
Asia in ancientumes?
David:
Not ar all There were lois ofluggLers in ancient
Rome Weevef
know the name ofone olthem,
Tagatus U6us
Woman: Did the Romars
juggLe
with
(nives,
like the
Chifese?
David: Probably fot.W€ knowthatTagatus Ursus
iuggled
sLass
baUs, because
theyte
specjfically mentioned
of his
grave
stone And, interestifgly,
when the
Spanish dis.overed
the
Ameicas,
theynoted
in th€ir reports and diaries thatthe Aztecs had
jugsLers.

Woman:
Are there afy records ofjuggling here in Britain?
David: Well, not
exactly, butluggLers are menlioned in
severalofthe
rish and Norse mylhs, wh ch date
from the
fifth io the iweLfth ceniuries Ofcoulse,
by
the time ofthe [,liddle ASes there are
plenty
of
references
to

in Britain.
Woman:
You talk about
jusslers
as rfihey were
part
of an
actual
profession.
mean, is that really the case?
Davidr lt's hard
to
saywith ary.ertainty.
n some cases
jusslers

were also clowns or

or even
acrobats.

Yes, can see howthe sklls m
