Una zoología monstruosa: los leones del Palmerín de Olivia

Resumen: A simple vista, la zoología monstruosa podría verse como una fauna de carácter real, en oposición a otros seres que evidencian su monstruosidad. Sin embargo, bajo ese manto aparente de realismo, se esconde el principio mágico que ha movido a esos animales a un desplazamiento de la más pura realidad a la otredad monstruosa, sea a causa de la metamorfosis, de las profecías o de cualquier otro elemento que no se corresponda directamente con su naturaleza animal, sino que provenga de un principio exterior —la magia— o interior —su propia naturaleza monstruosa/prodigiosa—. Es el caso de los leones del Palmerín de Olivia (Salamanca, Juan de Porras, 1511), que debe enfrentar el héroe en tierras de moros

Alien gosd in the new epics: Noah remythologised through the ancient astronaut hypothesis in Abel's Montagut's "La gesta d'Utnoa"

Modern scientific world-view has undermined traditional myths, the functional survival of which seems to depend today in the West on a positivist justification. This would place them in the field of real History, through their study and revitalization by pseudoscientific disciplines such as the Atlantis and the ancient astronaut hypotheses. These have inspired new epic poems in (regular) verse that combine classic and/or biblical myths with a (pseudo)scientific modern world-view. For example, the critical rewriting of Noah’s myth by using the ancient astronaut hypothesis as a fictional device to produce a contemporary kind of plausibility allowed Abel Montagut to renew epic poetry, updating it also by adopting science fiction chronotopes in order to structure his fictional construction and to generate a high ethical sense for our time. Thus, his Poemo de Utnoa (1993) / La gesta d’Utnoa (1996), which has become a major classic of the literature in Esperanto thanks to its original version in this language, is a landmark of both science fiction and neo-biblical epics. This poem is written from a secular and purely literary perspective.

Weather Prognostics in Anglo-Saxon England

Prognostics concerning the day of the week on which kalendae ianuariae and Christmas Day fall, commonly known as the Revelatio Esdrae , purport to be a set of prophecies by the Biblical Esdras. They make predictions about the weather and other natural phenomena for the year to come, and they then extend their predictions to the field of human affairs. A remarkable number of copies of the Revelatio appear in English manuscripts from the tenth to the twelfth centuries. Some of these versions have been attributed to Bede and Abbo of Fleury as part of their computus works.

Both R. M. Liuzza and L. S. Chardonnens point out the frequent occurrence of the Revelatio in religious and scientific manuscripts and therefore reject the label of folklore, stressing instead the probable monastic origin of this prognostication. This study will provide the first complete collation and analysis of the surviving exemplars, to give as full an idea as possible of their circumstances of composition, their transmission, and their relationship to one another. It will consider how the Revelatio Esdrae was copied and used in Anglo-Saxon England, the audience to which it was addressed, and whether any conclusion can be drawn from its appearance in particular manuscripts, alongside certain other texts.

The regular occurrence of the Revelatio along with computistical material supports the case for its monastic origin and learned nature. Such a text would have been a helpful handbook to be used by monks and priests, and was among the standard holdings of continental and Anglo-Saxon monasteries and scriptoria, giving further proof of the monks’ intellectual eclecticism and their knowledge of the kinds of continental literature from which this text derives.

L’histoire au service de la politique : la chronique de Pierre de Langtoft et les tensions socio-culturelles en Angleterre fin XIIIe, début XIVe siècle

À la fin du XIIIe et au début du XIVe siècle, Édouard Ier (1239-1307), conquérant du Pays de Galles et de l'Écosse, semblait être en conflit perpétuel, que ce soit avec l’Écosse, la France ou le Pays de Galles. Il avait donc grandement besoin de financement. Or dès son règne, on sent que le Parlement avait acquis une importance particulière en Angleterre, de sorte qu’Édouard Ier devait le convaincre de lui accorder les taxes qu’il demandait. Des tensions socio-culturelles héritées de la conquête de 1066 compliquaient de beaucoup la tâche au roi qui se devait de trouver une solution pour unir toute la société anglaise contre ses ennemis. Le roi était également en conflit avec certains de ces sujets. C’était notamment le cas d’Antoine Bek, évêque palatin de Durham qui était menacé de perdre tous ses privilèges et libertés. Dans le but de se racheter auprès du roi, Bek demanda donc à Pierre de Langtoft, un moine du Nord de l’Angleterre, d’écrire une chronique dans laquelle il prêcherait l’union de toute la société anglaise contre les ennemis d’Édouard Ier. C’est celle-ci dont il est question dans ce mémoire, qui étudie la façon dont Pierre de Langtoft calomnie les ennemis du roi, surtout les Écossais et comment il utilise l’histoire pour plaider l’union de toutes les composantes de la société anglaise.
