More on eating, though not as useful as the books mentioned:
(1) Didymus, an Alexandrian grammarian (1st c. BCE), was known as
"Khalkenteros" ("bronze-guts") for the enormous number of books he
had read (he is said to have written 3,500 or 4,000 works himself).
(2) An item that I came across in graduate school, and sufficiently
obscure that I suspect it may be overlooked: in his Life of Bruno
of Segni (a Cassinese abbot and saint), Peter the Deacon writes
of Bruno's education that "he drank deep at the fountain of wisdom,
from which he would later vomit it forth to the thirsty multitude,"
a metaphor so singularly infelicitous that it has stuck in my mind
for twenty years.

Zeerust is a dutch word which literaly means "the calm of the
sea", Zee = sea and rust = rest. I hope this helps.

One more depiction of the Jesuits in film I haven't seen mentioned is the
Canadian movie "Black Robe". It is based on the novel of the same name by
Brian Moore.
