Abstract

Abstract This article challenges the prevailing understanding of the Holy Name of Jesus as largely a Roman Catholic representation in early modern England. Although the Holy Name was attacked intermittently by Protestant iconoclasts, the article uses both visual and literary texts to set out a more nuanced relationship between the symbol and the broader religious culture of the period. As a symbol, the IHS served as a polysemous representation in a period of religious turmoil, creating not only multiple meanings but also multiple contexts in which the symbol could be found. The article both addresses the reasons why scholars tend to see the IHS as a particularly Catholic symbol and demonstrates the continued importance of the Holy Name in Protestant devotion.

改革圣名:近代早期英格兰IHS的后世
这篇文章挑战了普遍的理解,即耶稣的圣名主要是罗马天主教在近代早期英格兰的代表。尽管圣名断断续续地受到新教反圣像者的攻击,但这篇文章用视觉和文学文本来阐述这个符号与当时更广泛的宗教文化之间更微妙的关系。作为一种符号,IHS在宗教动荡时期充当了一种多义词的代表,不仅创造了多重意义,而且创造了多种可以找到符号的语境。这篇文章既解释了为什么学者们倾向于将IHS视为一个特别的天主教象征,也论证了圣名在新教信仰中的持续重要性。
