Translating and adapting devotion in the Mirror of Holy Church: from Anglo-Norman to Middle English

我的项目旨在探索公元前14世纪末和公元15世纪中古时期翻译的米鲁·德·塞因特·伊格尔斯的精选英译本，考察信仰和虔诚实践在语言、社会文化圈和文本语境中的传播。《圣公会之镜》的许多副本都没有经过编辑，需要进行批判性和透彻的比较研究。几位学者认为有必要对《镜报》进行进一步的研究，它提供了一个真正的洞察14世纪末和15世纪英国的虔诚实践的问题，以及宗教著作中的异端问题。我的研究将涉及到在更广泛的文学传统中，也在其直接的文学和编纂背景下，考察这些文本的翻译和改编过程。这将使我们更好地理解《镜子》在白话宗教文字及其政治语料库中的地位

My project aims to explore a selection of the late 14th c. and 15th c. Middle English translations ofthe Mirour de Seynte Eglyse, looking into the transmission of beliefs and devotional practices acrosslanguages, socio-cultural circles and textual contexts. Many of the copies of the Mirror of Holy Churchhave not been edited and require a critical and thorough comparative study. Several scholars havestressed the need for further research on the Mirror, which offers a real insight into the question ofdevotional practises in late fourteenth- and fifteenth-century England, as well as the question ofheterodoxy in religious writings. My research would involve looking at the process of translation andadaption of those texts within their wider literary tradition but also within their direct literary andcodicological context. This would give us a better comprehension of the place of the Mirror among thecorpus of vernacular religious writing and its politics
