Abstract

The transition from Latin to vernacular languages in the late Middle Ages and the dramatic rise of a new readership produced a huge bulk of translations, particularly of religious literature in its various genres. The solutions are so multifarious that they defy any attempt to outline general theories. This is particularly visible when the same text is translated or rewritten at different times and in different languages or genres. Through a minute analysis of texts this book aims at highlighting lexical, syntactic and stylistic choices dictated not only by the source but also by new readers and patrons, or by new destinations of the works. Established categories such as ‘literalness’ and ‘fidelity’ are thus questioned and integrated with these other factors which, while being more ‘external’, do nonetheless impinge on the very idea of ‘translation’, and consequently on its assessment. Far from being a mere transfer from one language to another, a medieval translation verges on a form of creative writing, and as such its study becomes a fascinating investigation into the very process of textual production.

Abstract

La littérature vernaculaire ne mentionne la Mesnie Hellequin qu'allusivement. Mais des éléments fragmentaires sont récurrents d'une occurrence à l'autre ; c'est sur ces récurrences que l'on peut fonder une investigation soucieuse de percer son secret. Au départ était le mystère d'un nom qui a dû opérer tel un charme, dans une chaîne de transmissions pour nous obscure. Ce nom , à partir du XIIe siècle, des clercs l'ont écrit, épelé, ont tenté d'en fixer les contours, en recoupant diverses traditions fragmentaires : cortèges nocturnes souvent aériens, chevauchées armées et chasses furieuses, revenants solitaires encapuchonnés, ou encore défilé grotesque de masques carnavalesques. L'objectif de cette étude est donc précis : retrouver les traces mythiques, donc voilées, de la Mesnie Hellequin dans la littérature médiévale qui n'a pas tant oublié que poétisé cet héritage ; explorer la fécondité et l'évolution des différents motifs qui en émanent, et identifier enfin des résurgences modernes et contemporaines de la figure, certaines illustres, d'autres plus secrètes car masqués pour toujours

Abstract

With original translations of primary texts and articles by leading researchers in the field, Sanctity in the North gives an introduction to the literary production associated with the cult of the saints in medieval Scandinavia.For more than five hundred years, Nordic clerics and laity venerated a host of saints through liturgical celebrations, written manuscripts, visual arts, and oral traditions. Textual evidence of this widespread and important aspect of medieval spirituality abounds. Written biographies (or vitae), compendia of witnessed miracles, mass propers, homilies, sagas and chronicles, dramatic scripts, hymns, and ballads are among the region's surviving medieval manuscripts and early published books.Sanctity in the North features English translations of texts from Latin or vernacular Nordic languages, in many cases for the first time. The accompanying essays concerning the texts, saints, cults, and history of the period complement the translations and reflect the contributors' own disciplinary groundings in folklore, philology, medieval, and religious studies.

Abstract

"The question of whether or not our decisions and efforts make a difference in an uncertain and uncontrollable world had enormous significance for writers in Anglo-Saxon England. Striving with Grace looks at seven authors, who wrote in either Latin or Old English, and the ways in which they sought to resolve this fundamental question"--Provided by publisher.
