Flanders in Medieval Europe : cross-cultural studies

Wada表明，中世纪英语受佛兰德语的影响比从语言学和历史的角度讨论这个问题所允许的要大得多。加藤明确了13世纪巴黎大学佛兰德学者根特的亨利的哲学影响，特别是通过阐明他与托马斯·阿奎那、方丹的戈弗雷和邓斯·斯各脱斯在本体论问题上的辩论。安川对15世纪和16世纪英国和佛兰德音乐家的接触进行了研究。他发现了两者之间影响的一个有趣的转变：首先是15世纪早期繁荣的英国音乐家，他们在佛兰德斯非常活跃，对佛兰德斯的同行产生了影响。然后，在15世纪后期，佛兰德音乐家，他们成功地建立了美妙的结构“佛兰德复调”基于他们从英语中学到的东西，反过来，对英语复调的发展产生了很大的影响。该项目的准成员进行的研究包括：比利时鲁汶天主教大学的Gilbert Maurice Tournoy教授，研究15、16世纪低地国家的人文主义和新拉丁文学，侧重于书信学；Ignace Bossuyt教授，比利时鲁汶天主教大学，关于15、16世纪佛兰德复调音乐对德语国家音乐的影响；圭多·拉特雷博士，比利时鲁汶天主教大学，谈反宗教改革和英文圣经；西班牙纳瓦拉大学安德鲁·布雷兹博士谈中世纪佛兰德斯人和凯尔特人；David Dumville教授，剑桥大学，英国，关于中世纪手稿的传播。所有这些成果将以英文出版在关西大学东西方研究所国际联合项目丛书中。

Wada has shown that Middle English was much more influenced by Flemish than has been allowed by discussing the matter from philological and historical points of view. Kato has made clear the philosophical influence of a Flemish scholar, Henry of Ghent, at Paris University in the 13th century, especially by casting light on his debate on the ontological problems with Thomas Aquinas, Godfrey of Fontaines, and Duns Scotus. Yasukawa made a study of the contacts of English and Flemish musicians in the 15the and 16th centuries. He discovered an interesting turn around of influences between the two : first the prosperous English musicians of early 15th century, who were very active in Flanders, had influence on the Flemish equivalents. Then, in late 15th century, the Flemish musicians, who had succeeded in building that wonderful structure of the 'Flemish Polyphony' on the basis of what they leaned from the English, in turn, had a great influence on the development of the English Polyphony. Researches which associate members of this project conducted are as follows : Professor Gilbert Maurice Tournoy, Katholieku Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, on Humanism and Neo-Latin literature in the Low Countries in the 15th and 16th centuries, focusing on epistolography ; Professor Ignace Bossuyt, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, on the influence of the Flemish polyphonic music on the music in the German speaking countries in the 15th and 16th centuries ; Dr. Guido Latre, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, on the Counter Reformation and the Bible in English ; Dr. Andrew Breeze, Universidad de Navarra, Spain, on medieval Flanders and the Celtic ; Professor David Dumville, the University of Cambridge, U.K. on transmission of medieval manuscripts. All these results will be published in English as a volume of the International Joint-Project Series of the Institute of Oriental and Occidental Studies, Kansai University.
