Il Libro de Alexandre e il Roman d’Alexandre veneziano (con un’appendice sulle fonti del poema iberico)
No full textInternational audienceThis paper intends to provide a critical analysis of an “acquired notion” about the Libro de Alexandre: the direct filiation of some passages of the Iberian poem from the decasyllabic Roman de Alexandre transmissed by the Venitian manuscript of the Biblioteca Correr. The goal of the analysis is to demonstrate how precisely these passages allow to insert the Libro into a more extensive and complex literary network than a single and direct filiation. And this literary network consists of French texts involved in the category of the romans d’antiquité. In this context the analysis has been limited to four passages on the eight traditionnally associated with the Roman d’Alexandre: 1. the birth and childhood of Alexander; 2. knightly clothing; 3. the description of Babylon; 4. the palace of Poro. The Appendix provides an update overiew of the sources of the Libro de Alexandre.Il contributo intende offrire una rilettura critica di quella “nozione data per acquisita” che è l’idea di una dipendenza di alcuni passaggi del Libro de Alexandre dalla versione decasillabica del Roman de Alexandre testimoniata dal manoscritto della Biblioteca Correr di Venezia. L’obiettivo che ci si propone è di dimostrare come proprio questi passaggi permettano al contrario di inserire il Libro in una rete di relazioni letterarie assai più ampia e complessa rispetto a una filiazione diretta e singola; e questa rete è costituita dai testi francesi che ruotano intorno alla categoria dei romans d’antiquité. In questa sede l’analisi è stata limitata a quattro degli otto passaggi testuali tradizionalmente associati con il Roman d’Alexandre: 1. la nascita e infanzia di Alessandro; 2. il vestiario cavalleresco; 3. la descrizione di Babilonia; 4. il palazzo di Poro. In appendice si offre una panoramica aggiornata sulle fonti del Libro de Alexandre
Beyond the Foreigner: representations of non-roman individuals and communities in latin historiography, from Sallust to Ammianus Marcellinus
No full textFrom the foundation of the city of Rome in 753 BCE to the capture of the same in 476 CE, the ancient Romans came into contact with a diverse range of peoples. The Romans did not want only to conquer these peoples and incorporate them into the empire, but also they displayed a genuine interest in learning about foreigners. Roman historical narrative demonstrates clearly this prevailing curiosity. This thesis examines the representations of foreign individuals and communities in five works: SaUust, helium lugurthinum; Livy, Ab Vrhe Condita 21-30; Justin, Epitome of Pompeius Trogus, Historiae Philippicae 11-12; Tacitus, Germania; Ammianus MarcelHnus, Res Gestae 23.6. These authors represent a broad range of types of history writing (monograph, AUG history, universal history), and they span most of die history of Rome as an empire (40s BCE to the late 300s CE). Moreover, these works represent a diverse range of geographic locations in that they include the three major parts of the world as understood by the Romans: Africa, Europe and Asia. Finally, they cover—or they exist within the context of—the full range of the Roman-Foreign experience: victory (Numidia, Carthage), defeat (Persia), and non- result (Germani).This thesis demonstrates that Roman historians employ a diverse range of presentations of non-Roman individuals and communities. Roman historians appear not to have been constrained by a narrow set of rules when it comes to writing non- Romans; rather, each author can be seen to be engaging in a wider Roman discourse on the foreigner. And this discourse extends beyond the Roman world and Roman historical writing: the historians of Rome can be seen as building upon, and responding to, the so-called father of history, Herodotus, whose own narrative established firmly that exploration of the foreigner is an important part of historical inquiry. Close analysis clearly demonstrates each presentation of a non-Roman character or community to be an intricate and fascinating construction, and understanding how the foreigner is conceptualised in the work is of critical importance. On the one hand, the presentation of foreigners fits into the historian’s overarching aims and objectives in his work; on the other hand, the representation of foreigners can dictate the ways in which the Roman history is narrated. Non-Romans both fit into and they provide direction for, Roman historical narrative. By studying the complexities of the presentation of non-Romans, therefore, this thesis enhances our understanding of the sophistication of Roman historical writing. Despite the continuing acknowledgement of the important role ethnography plays in writings of Herodotus and his Greek and Roman successors and imitators, there has not so far been a genre-wide detailed study of the ethnography in Greek or Roman historiography. This thesis, therefore, seeks to rectify partially this omission on the part of scholarship, and establish a foundation for future study of the non-Roman in Latin literature and Roman culture

'Ajâyeb-nâme «Mirabilia», cosmographie persane de Momammad Hamadâni (ca. 1175-1193), et le Dârâb-nâme «Darius» de Tarsusi (Tarse, XIIe siècle), riche variante persane du roman d'Alexandre, présentent celui-ci comme «circumnavigateur» (Zu'l-qarneyn), c'est-à-dire «celui qui aboutit d'une crête (qarn) de l'espace à l'autre et découvre les deux limites du monde». Par le périple d'est en ouest, Alexandre, Roi de Rome et «deuxième Salomon», aborde la limite orientale, promontoire de l'Arbre d'Eve, près du sanctuaire d'Adam à Sarândib (Ceylon). D'ici, Alexandre assure la translation du cerceuil de Mahâbi fils de Seth jusqu'à la Maison Sainte de Je- rusalem. Elle est aussi la destination ultime du périple d'ouest en est d'Alexandre. Il avait survolé le mont arctique Q, exploré l'extrême nord-ouest dans la mer Atlantique, zone de l'Ombre, et visité l'extrême sud-est, zone de la source du Soleil.Piemontese Angelo Michele.
