Ovide en français. Genesis, Transformation and Reception of the Ovide Moralisé

本项目的目的是研究从14世纪起，奥维德的拉丁文本《变形记》在法语奥维德道德中的文化适应过程。调查开始与手稿的奥维德moralisé，其中包含注释和有时精心的图像计划，最重要的是，分支成几个非常不同的版本。研究法国手稿，以及随后的散文和印刷版本的文本，使我们能够看到如何theLatin文本是理解在法国中世纪。通过这项研究，它变得很清楚，这是最独特的文本在中世纪时期<$即<$moralisations <$导致文本扩展到72000行双音节对联<$<$有时成为其扩散的障碍。奥维德的一些手稿省略了道德化，因此成为简单的翻译变形记，但他们仍然帮助我们看到拉丁文本是如何被吸收到基督教中世纪。在整个翻译过程中，法国抄写员会发现自己面对的是一个他们不熟悉的文本。今天，手稿带有这种缺乏理解的迹象，这些有时无意识的修改特别说明了从一种文化到另一种文化的过渡。通过艺术史学家，词汇学家和法国和拉丁文学专家的合作，通过这个项目，我们将了解一个文本的生命周期，这个文本使西方文化的奠基作品之一从古典时期过渡到从中世纪到文艺复兴，从拉丁文到法语，从教士到普通读者，从诗歌到散文，从手稿到印刷品。对语言、图像、注释和评论的研究，这些文献在很大程度上还没有被探索过，这将产生精确的研究，其重要性将超出奥维德的道德范畴，因为它们将揭示一种文化的同化，这种文化既非常不同，又非常相似。在这个具体目标之上，还有一个进一步的战略研究目标。通过这一事实上已经是欧洲的两国项目，我们将努力扩大中世纪文学研究的边界，以涵盖一种新的方法，对前现代的书，在其中相关学科的专家可以进入对话。

Zusammenfassung (englisch) The aim of the present project is to study the process of acculturation towhich the Latin text of Ovid¿s Metamorphoses is subjected, from the 14thcentury onwards, in the French Ovide moralisé. The investigation begins withthe manuscripts of the Ovide moralisé, which contain glosses and sometimeselaborate iconographic schemes, and, above all, branch into several verydifferent versions. A study of the French manuscripts, as well as ofsubsequent prose and printed versions of the text, enables us to see how theLatin text was understood in the French Middle Ages. Through this study itbecomes clear that the very feature which was most distinctive of the textin the medieval period ¿ namely the ¿moralisations¿ which cause the text toexpand into 72000 lines of octosyllablic couplets ¿ sometimes becomes anobstacle to its diffusion. Some manuscripts of the Ovide moralisé omit themoralisations and so become simple translations of the Metamorphoses, butthey nonetheless help us to see how the Latin text was assimilated into theChristian Middle Ages. Throughout the process of translation, French scribescould find themselves confronted with a text which had become unfamiliar tothem. Today, the manuscripts bear the signs of this lack of understanding,and these sometimes unconscious modifications are especially telling of thetransition from one culture to another.Through the collaboration of art historians, lexicologists, and specialistsin French and Latin literature, we shall through this project gain anunderstanding of the life cycle of a text which allowed one of the foundingworks of western culture to pass from the Classical period to the MiddleAges and then the Renaissance, from Latin to French, from a clerical milieuto a lay readership, from verse to prose, and from manuscripts to printedform. The examination of the language, iconography, glosses and commentariescontained by documents which are still largely unexplored will yield precisestudies which will have an importance extending beyond the domain of theOvide moralisé, for they will shed light on the assimilation of a culturewhich is at once quite different and yet remarkably similar.Atop this concrete goal there is also a further strategic researchobjective. Through this bi-national project ¿ which in fact is alreadyEuropean ¿ we shall strive to expand the borders of medieval literary studyto encompass a new approach towards the ¿pre-modern book¿, in whichspecialists in related disciplines can enter into dialogue.
