Ancestral Roots. Anglosajón in J.L. Borges
No full textThis chapter explores Jorge Luis Borges’s unique relationship with Old English language and literature, often referred to as anglosajón. Drawing on Borges’s own reflections on blindness and his ancestral connections, I try to demonstrate how these factors influenced his intellectual and creative pursuits. Borges’s fascination with Early medieval English poetry was not merely academic but deeply intertwined with his metaphysical views on time, identity, and immortality. By embracing anglosajón, Borges sought to reconnect with his ancestral roots and explore a cyclical notion of time and self, seeing language as a bridge to a profound, eternal past
The Star of Bethlehem in the Hêliand
No full textIn his reelaboration of the Gospels, the author of the Hêliand dedicates several verses to the star of Bethlehem; its description as a ‘bright sign’ and ‘God’s token’ more frequently than a ‘star’ reflects the hesitation of the Fathers of the Church in defining it a miracle or a natural phenomenon. However, none of the sources traditionally associated with the poem can be identified as a reliable model for the author. In this article, I will try to demonstrate that the poet’s lexical choices related to the description of the star and the narrative construction of the whole episode find correspondences with the interpretation provided in the De mirabilibus Sacrae Scripturae, an early ninth-century treatise whose earliest witness was originated in the Carolingian context and thus could have been used as a source for this episode
