项目摘要

This project is concerned with medieval Welsh-language literature devoted to the veneration of saints. Saints, holy men and women who offered believers a direct link between heaven and earth, were central to the culture of Christian societies in pre-Reformation Europe and beyond, and study of the origins, nature and development of saints' cults is flourishing internationally. The Welsh sources, however, are at best partially known: some texts have never been edited, others languish in inaccessible publications, and many are available only to Welsh-speakers. By producing a freely available online digital resource, with editions and English translations of the 100 or so texts which make up the corpus, we aim to delineate a significant tradition, and to make it widely available for comparative study.The Welsh tradition is a particularly interesting one. Any visitor to the country knows that it is a 'land of saints' - Padarn, Dewi, Illtud and the rest crowd onto the map in a way quite unlike most parts of Europe. Native Welsh saints are numerous and their stories often colourful and compelling: Beuno, skilled in replacing severed heads; Collen, who holds talks in the castle of the King of the Underworld; Cynhafal, renowned for the slaying of the famous giant Benlli Gawr and praised for his help in soothing rheumatism. Moreover, as elsewhere, international saints are accepted and sometimes given a local setting: Margaret of Antioch suffered martyrdom in Monmouthshire according to one fifteenth-century poet, for instance. Such tales give an insight into the tastes, beliefs, concerns and fears of those who wrote and read or heard them. They also bring to life a detailed medieval landscape because the deeds of the saints tend to be tied to particular churches, landscape features and place-names, many of which can still be recognised.The body of Welsh-language material consists of three main genres, two of which are highly unusual from an international perspective. The 60 or so poems addressed to saints are apparently a unique response to the phenomenon of cults from within the strongly rooted Welsh institution of praise poetry. Similarly the collections of saints' pedigrees - lists, usually regionally arranged, giving family relationships and occasional further associations - are paralleled in western Europe only in Ireland: again their development must be linked to a pre-existing tradition of secular genealogical collections in both Wales and Ireland. The third text-type is much more international: prose lives of saints, some 34 of which survive in Welsh, many, if not all of them translated or adapted from Latin originals, though in a good number of cases the originals either do not survive, or have not been identified. Here is an opportunity to study in detail how the Welsh tradition assimilated a genre, and indeed individual texts, well-known from elsewhere.This project, then, aims in the first place to present editions of all of these texts, with extensive bilingual notes and full translations into English (and also, in the case of the verse, into modern Welsh). The introduction to each text will discuss its date, authorship, manuscript context(s), and its relationship to other texts and traditions both in Wales and elsewhere. There will be digital images of many of the manuscripts and separate discussions of the more important codices.The greater aim is to raise awareness of the interest and importance of these Welsh sources both inside and outside Wales. The website, which will host the digital edition, will also hold a range of related material (such as medieval and modern images of the saints and maps that show dedications and place-name patterns) designed to be of interest to a wide range of audiences. The work will be further advertised by a programme of conferences, open days around the country and an exhibition at the National Library of Wales.
这个项目关注的是中世纪威尔士语文学,致力于圣徒的崇拜。为信徒提供天地之间直接联系的圣徒、圣人和圣人是宗教改革前欧洲及其他地区基督教社会文化的核心,对圣徒的起源、性质和发展的研究邪教在国际上蓬勃发展。然而,威尔士语的来源充其量只是部分地为人所知:一些文本从未被编辑过,另一些则在无法访问的出版物中受到冷落,许多只有讲威尔士语的人才能获得。通过制作一个免费的在线数字资源,包括组成语料库的100多个文本的版本和英文翻译,我们的目标是描绘一个重要的传统,并使其广泛用于比较研究。威尔士传统是一个特别有趣的传统。任何到过这个国家的游客都知道这是一个“圣徒之地”--帕达恩、德维、伊尔图德和其他人挤在地图上,这与欧洲大部分地区完全不同。威尔士本土的圣徒数量众多,他们的故事往往丰富多彩,引人入胜:Beuno,擅长更换被砍下的头颅; Collen,在地狱之王的城堡里举行会谈; Cynthalal,因杀死著名的巨人Benlli Gawr而闻名,并因帮助缓解风湿病而受到称赞。此外,和其他地方一样,国际圣徒也被接受,有时还被赋予当地的背景。例如,根据一位15世纪的诗人的描述,安提阿的玛格丽特在蒙茅斯郡殉难。这样的故事让我们深入了解那些写过、读过或听过它们的人的品味、信仰、担忧和恐惧。这些作品还生动地描绘了中世纪的详细景观,因为圣徒的事迹往往与特定的教堂、景观特征和地名有关,其中许多至今仍能辨认出来。威尔士语材料的主体由三种主要类型组成,其中两种从国际角度来看是极不寻常的。这60首左右写给圣徒的诗显然是对根深蒂固的威尔士赞美诗制度中邪教现象的独特回应。类似地,收集圣徒的家谱--通常按地区排列的名单,列出家族关系,偶尔还会有进一步的联系--在西欧只在爱尔兰被发现:它们的发展必须与威尔士和爱尔兰预先存在的世俗家谱收集传统联系起来。第三种文本类型则更为国际化:圣徒的散文生活,其中约34种以威尔士语流传下来,许多(如果不是全部的话)是从拉丁语原文翻译或改编而来的,尽管在相当多的情况下,原文要么不存在,要么没有被识别出来。这是一个详细研究威尔士传统如何吸收其他地方著名的体裁,甚至是个别文本的机会。因此,这个项目的首要目标是展示所有这些文本的版本,包括大量的双语注释和完整的英语翻译(对于诗歌,也包括现代威尔士语)。每个文本的介绍将讨论其日期,作者,手稿背景(S),以及它与威尔士和其他地方的其他文本和传统的关系。将有许多手稿的数字图像和更重要的抄本的单独讨论。更大的目标是提高威尔士内外对这些威尔士来源的兴趣和重要性的认识。该网站将提供数字版,还将提供一系列相关材料(如中世纪和现代的圣徒图像以及显示奉献和地名模式的地图),旨在引起广大受众的兴趣。这项工作将通过一系列会议、全国开放日和威尔士国家图书馆展览来进一步宣传。
