摘要
本文旨在探讨两个拉古桑乞丐教会中有关钉十字架群体的奇迹般的叙述。故事的起点是一个有充分文献记载的方济各会高十字架的案例,15世纪著名的传教士贾科莫·德拉·马卡(Giacomo della Marca)在十字架上装饰了一对木制的带烛台的天使,后来他成为了一位受祝福的圣人。据传说,贾科莫宣布了一个奇迹,后来在盛大的节日里,天使们挥舞着香炉在十字架上烧香,这一点得到了证实。除了一些关于这些奇妙事件的早期现代描述外,圣弗朗西斯教堂凯旋门上的奇迹图像通过一幅17世纪早期的绘画流传下来,这使得我们可以对1667年地震后失去的受人尊敬的物体的图像特征进行检查。正如学者们已经正确认识到的那样,这幅插图与十四世纪中期拉古桑多米尼加教堂的十字架组有着惊人的相似之处,这是一幅幸存下来的作品,被赋予了同样神奇的叙述。不可否认的是,不同的早期现代作家认为,圣方济会和多明尼加的十字架上都有神奇的摇摆天使的比喻。因此,这些资料证明了拉古桑钉十字架团体的复杂而未被充分研究的历史,并呼吁对这些壮观的作品在城市主要的乞丐教堂中被神圣化几个世纪后所产生的奇迹进行更仔细的研究。
Thurifer Angels of the Crucifixion Groups in Ragusan Friaries: Wonders, Images and Cults
This paper sets out to explore the miraculous accounts concerning the Crucifixion groups in two Ragusan mendicant churches. The starting point is a well-documented case of the Franciscan high cross, which was embellished by a pair of wooden thurible-bearing angels by the prominent fifteenth-century preacher, Giacomo della Marca, later to become a blessed and saint. As legend has it, Giacomo announced a miracle, as was later corroborated at high feast days when the angels were incensing the cross by swinging their censers. Apart from a number of early modern accounts of these wondrous occurrences, the miracle-working imagery that graced the triumphal arch of St Francis’ church has come down to us through an early seventeenth-century drawing, which allows for the examination of the iconographical features of the venerated object lost in the aftermath of the 1667 earthquake. As scholars have already rightly recognised, the illustration shares remarkable closeness to the mid-fourteenth-century Crucifixion group in the Ragusan Dominican church, a surviving composition that was endowed with the same miraculous narrative. Admittedly, different early modern writers accredited the trope of the miraculous thurible-swinging angels to both the Franciscan and Dominican crucifixions. These sources, therefore, testify to the complex yet understudied histories of the Ragusan Crucifixion groups, and call for a more attentive examination of wonders reverberated centuries after the enshrinement of these imposing compositions in the city’s principal mendicant churches.
