Abstract
ABSTRACT:Christian readers engaged for centuries with Lucretius' De Rerum Natura and often contrasted or harmonized its Epicurean ideas. By analyzing a series of loci similes, I suggest that the imitation of Lucretius in a Neo-Latin epic written in sixteenth century Italy, Girolamo Vida's Christiad, represents a polemical response to that ancient author. Learned readers experienced cognitive dissonance when they could recognize the Lucretian intertexts. However, a systematic and usually contrastive adaptation showed them how to refute the false doctrine advocated by that Epicurean poem in what amounts to an extremely crafted case of Neo-Latin intertextuality, a still understudied area.
摘要：几个世纪以来，基督教读者一直与卢克莱修的《自然》（De Rerum Natura）进行着接触，并经常对其伊壁鸠鲁思想进行对比或协调。通过分析一系列相似的地方，我认为16世纪意大利新拉丁史诗《吉拉莫·维达的基督》中对卢克莱修的模仿代表了对这位古代作家的一种争论性回应。当有学识的读者能够认出卢克莱特的互文时，他们会经历认知失调。然而，一个系统的、通常是对比的改编向他们展示了如何反驳伊壁鸠鲁诗歌所倡导的错误学说，这相当于一个精心设计的新拉丁互文性案例，这是一个研究不足的领域。
