Alciato's Emblemata and Its Relation with a Socio-historical Method and an Art of Memory in Renaissance Jurisprudence

本研究的目的在于表明阿尔恰托的《法理学》深受文艺复兴时期罗马法律学的影响。象征的形式经常与新柏拉图主义的方式联系在一起，以代表隐藏在世俗事物中的理想主义意义。然而，大量的徽章作者却精通文艺复兴时期的罗马法律学。阿尔恰托也不例外。仔细阅读阿尔恰托的法律著作和他同时代的法律资源就会发现，他们更关注实际的日常事务，而不是崇高的形而上学对象，这是新柏拉图主义的主要关注点。2. 流行的神秘记忆艺术是阿尔恰托时期的一种通俗的新柏拉图主义理论，它与Emblemata有着同样的代表形式，即一幅画与一首诗的结合。这种表面上的共同形式并不能保证这两种文学具有同样的意图，即通过道德来使读者认识普遍真理。事实上，大多数关于记忆艺术的书籍都在一定范围内隐藏在历史事件中的普遍现象，而Emblemata则让读者关注特定日常事件的和解。8. 其象征形式应与文艺复兴时期的法律纲要和法律学生的补充参考著作相联系。除了与纹章文献有相似的形式外，它们曾经是学者们记忆法律文本及其章节和经文数量的最爱工具。4. 解读《象征》最恰当的方式之一是将其与法律问题联系起来。我们应该从如何将社会争议案件解决为司法平衡解决的角度来重新解读《象征》。

The purpose or this research is to show that Alciato's Emblemata is heavily indebted to Renaissance Roman jurisprudence. I.The emblematic form has often been associated with Neo-Platenic way to represent idealistic meaning hidden in earthly things. A large number of emblem writers, however, turned out to be versed in Renaissance Roman jurisprudence. Alciato is no exception. A close reading of Alciato's legal works and his contemporary juristic resources shows that they are more concerned with practical daily matters than sublime metaphysical objects, the major concern of Neo-Platonism. 2. Popular mystical art of memory, a vulgate Neo-Platonistic theory in Alciato's period, shares with Emblemata the same representative form of a combination of a picture with a verse. This superficial common form does not guarantee that these two literature possess the same intent to moralize their readers into realization of the universal truth. Actually, most books on the art of memory have in scope the universal hidden in historical matters, while Emblemata sustains readers1 attention to settlement of particular daily matters into reconcilement. 8. The emblematic form should be related to that of Renaissance legal compendia and supplementary referential works for the students of law. In addition to sharing the similar form with the emblem literature, they used to be favorite tools for the scholars to keep in memory the legal texts and their number of chapters and verses. 4. One of the most appropriate ways of reading Emblemata is to read it with reference to legal matters. Emblemata should be reread from the standpoint of how to resolve socially disputed cases into judicially balanced settlement.
