Abstract

Der 1962 entdeckte Derveni-Papyrus bietet für die Bereiche der frühgriechischen Philosophie und Religion sowie der antiken Literaturwissenschaft eine der wichtigsten Neuentdeckungen seit der Renaissance. Die Reste der zur Hälfte verbrannten Papyrusrolle enthalten eine Abhandlung (wohl verfasst am Ende des 5. Jahrhunderts v. Chr.), in der ein uns namentlich unbekannter Autor eine orphische Theogonie allegorisch interpretiert. Der Autor versteht den oftmals skandalösen Mythos von der Machtergreifung des Zeus als physikalische Erklärung der Entstehung unserer Welt. Mirjam E. Kotwick hat diesen faszinierenden Text nun erstmalig ins Deutsche übersetzt und ausführlich kommentiert. Eine Einleitung gibt einen Überblick über Zustand und Rekonstruktion des Textes sowie zum intellektuellen Hintergrund des Derveni-Autors. Übersetzung und Kommentierung basieren auf dem griechischen Text von Richard Janko, der hier erstmals in einer durch neue bildgebende Verfahren verbesserten Version erscheint. The Derveni Papyrus, discovered in Greece in 1962, is one of the oldest Greek papyri ever found. The work it contains was written at the end of the 5th century BCE by an unknown author, who allegorizes an Orphic myth into a physical account of the creation of the universe. This text provides us with fascinating new insights in the areas of Greek religion, Orphic poetry, early Greek philosophy, and early Greek allegorical interpretation. Mirjam E. Kotwick makes the work available for the first time in German translation and provides an extensive commentary. Kotwick’s commentary and translation are based on an improved text of the papyrus by Richard Janko relying on new imaging techniques.

Abstract

The Daughter Zion allegory represents a particular narrative articulation of the paradigm of bridal mysticism deriving from the Song of Songs, the core element of which is the quest of Daughter Zion for a worthy object of love. Examining medieval German religious writing (verse and prose) and Dutch prose works, Annette Volfing shows that this storyline provides an excellent springboard for investigating key aspects of medieval religious and literary culture. In particular, she argues, the allegory lends itself to an exploration of the medieval sense of self; of the scope of human agency within the mystical encounter; of the gendering of the religious subject; of conceptions of space and enclosure; and of fantasies of violence and aggression. Volfing suggests that Daughter Zion adaptations increasingly tended to empower the religious subject to seek a more immediate relationship with the divine and to embrace a wider range of emotions: the mediating personifications are gradually eliminated in favour of a model of religious experience in which the human subject engages directly with Christ.0Overall, the development of the allegory from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries marks the striving towards a greater sense of equality and affective reciprocity with the divine, within the context of an erotic union.
