TheEngelberg Codex 314, amedievalmanuscript kept in the library of the Benedictine abbey in Engelberg, Switzerland, contains a poetic adaption of the Latin version of the Physiologus. The goal of the presentation of the animals, however, has changed: the Physiologus intends to present a theological interpretation of nature, whereas the medieval hymn, inspired by the Physiologus, arranges the biblical animal symbolism into a narrative of the fall and restoration of humankind as well as the sacrificial death and resurrection of Christ, using the multifaceted animal imagery of the bible. This contribution examines this new perspective, also considering amusical rendition of Unicornis captivatur for a-capella choir by the Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo (written in 2001). It is hoped that the change of perspective afforded by both the hymn and the modern composition will shed additional light on the hermeneutics of nature in the Physiologus. 1 Zum Deutungsverfahren des Physiologus anhand des „Hirsches“ „Wie den Hirsch nach Wasserquellen dürstet, so dürstet meine Seele nach Dir, o Gott“. Mit dem Zitat aus Ps 42,2 (41,2LXX) beginnt der Physiologus sein Kapitel zum Hirschen, den er – als Feind der Schlange, des Ursymbols des Bösen – durchaus zu loben weiß. Der Hirsch spült die Schlange (δράκων) mit Wasser, das er aus seinem Mund strömen lässt, aus ihrem Versteck, um sie zu töten. So ist er Urbild Christi der durch sein Opfer alles Böse und zuletzt den Tod zertritt. Zugleich ist der Hirsch das Bild der Jesus nachfolgenden Asketen: Wie der Hirsch aus Ps 41,2LXX dürstend zur Quelle eilt, so eilen sie mit ihrem entbehrungsvollen Leben – wie von Durst gequält – zu den Quellen der rettenden Reue. Gerne hätte ich es wie Jürgen W. Einhorn gemacht – der eine große Monographie zum Einhorn geschrieben hat1 – und meine Darstellung dem Hirsch gewidmet. Aber leider wird gerade der Hirsch in dem auf dem Physiologus basierendenmittelalterlichenHymnus über das „Einhorn“ (Unicornis captivatur), dem dieser Beitrag vor allem gelten soll, nicht aufgegriffen. Immerhin einleitend lohnt es sich dennoch, auf den Hirsch einzugehen. Denn an der Deutung des Hirsches lässt sich der Zugriff des Physiologus auf den Text der Bibel ebenso deutlich machen wie das angewendete Deuteverfahren.2 Nach diesem ersten Teil werden wir in einem zweiten Schritt vergleichend einen Blick auf den auf dem Physiologus aufbauenden mittelalterlichen Hymnus und dessen Verfahren in der Deutung der Tiere werfen, um so im Spiegel der Rezeption die jeweiligen Besonderheiten besonders deutlich hervortreten zu lassen. Dabei nehmenwir auchOla Gjeilosmodernemusikalische Umsetzung des Hymnus in einer zeitgenössischen Komposition für achtstimmigen Chor a-capella mit in den Blick, wodurch wir gewissermassen ein dreidimensionales Bild im Spiegel der Rezeption erhalten. Ziel des Physiologus ist eine christologische Gesamtdeutung der Natur. ImHintergrund steht die Überzeugung, so wäre meine These, dass der göttliche Schö

Animals play prominent roles in the apocryphal acts of the apostles, and the authors of these texts seem to have drawn on natural historical information similar to what is found in the Physiologus. Nevertheless, the relationship between the acts and the Physiologus is complicated and often puzzling. There is at least one instance in which the apocryphal acts (theActs of Thomas) clearly presuppose information about an animal (the wild ass) also presented in the Physiologus, as well as two instances in which the Physiologus refers to a character from the apocryphal acts (Thecla). Otherwise, the most striking result of comparing the acts with the Physiologus is the absence of clearly coinciding material. Relatively few animals occur in both the Physiologus and the acts, and, when they do, there is little, if any, overlap in content. This paper will detail the points of contact between the Physiologus and the apocryphal acts, as well as the absence of contact where such could easily be imagined. Ultimately, I will show that the Physiologus and the apocryphal acts of the apostles exhibit a similar attitude toward the natural world and the use of similar source material, but the exact relationship between these texts remains obscure.

: Among papyri from Egypt, three pieces stand out in connection with the Physiologus . First, a fragment from a vertical roll written in Greek in the 6 th century CE, which was published in 2011, and is now located in Florence (PSI XVI 1577). Second, a fragment of a paper notebook written in Coptic from the 10 th century CE, which was published in 1895 and is now located in Berlin (P.Berol. inv. 7999). Both are direct testimonies of the text. The third papyrus is the so-called ‘Artemidorus Papyrus’, which on one side, the verso, shows a series of drawings of animals with legends. These papyri show both directly and indirectly the distri-bution and influence of the Physiologus , which evidently spanned centuries and cultures.
在来自埃及的纸莎草纸中,有三张与生理学有关。首先是公元6世纪用希腊文写的一卷竖卷的残片,于2011年出版,现藏于佛罗伦萨(PSI XVI 1577)。第二,公元10世纪用科普特语写的纸质笔记本的残片,于1895年出版,现藏于柏林(P.Berol)。发票,7999)。两者都是经文的直接见证。第三张纸莎草纸是所谓的“阿特米多罗斯纸莎草纸”,它的一面,也就是反面,展示了一系列带有传说的动物图画。这些纸莎草纸直接或间接地显示了生理学家的分布和影响,这显然跨越了几个世纪和文化。
