ORIGIN of juggling

The words juggling and juggler derive from the Middle English jogelen (“to entertain by performing tricks”), which in turn is from the Old French jangler. There is also the Late Latin form joculare of Latin joculari, meaning “to jest”.

The earliest record of juggling is suggested in a panel from 1994 to 1781 B.C. Beni Hasan tomb of an unknown Egyptian prince, showing female dancers and acrobats throwing balls.

Juggling has been recorded in many early cultures including Egyptian, Nabataean, Chinese, Indian, Greek, Roman, Norse, Aztec (Mexico) and Polynesian civilizations.

Juggling in ancient China was an art performed by some warriors. One such warrior was Xiong Yiliao, whose juggling of nine balls in front of troops on a battlefield reportedly caused the opposing troops to flee without fighting, resulting in a complete victory.

In Europe, juggling was an acceptable diversion until the decline of the Roman Empire, after which the activity fell into disgrace.

Throughout the Middle Ages, most histories were written by religious clerics who frowned upon the type of performers who juggled, accusing them of low morals or even practicing witchcraft.
