摘要
这篇文章提出了一个论点,即第一次十字军东征的编年史作者在塑造敌人形象的过程中,利用了先前存在的宗教冲突的文学传统。它集中分析了在描述第一次十字军东征期间在奇韦托屠杀基督徒的几个资料来源中发现的一个牧师在弥撒庆典期间死于土耳其人之手的特殊描述的象征意义(Gesta Francorum, Tudebode's Historia de hierosolymitanano itinere, Dol的Baldric 's Historiae Hierosolymitanae libri IV, Nogent的Guibert 's Gesta Dei per franco,僧侣罗伯特的Historia Hierosolymitana,以及奥德里克·维塔利斯的《教会史》)。文章认为,所呈现的描述可以被认为是十字军叙事中使用的修辞策略的一个例子,用于将敌人描述为宗教和文化的“他者”。此外,本文还讨论了古代和圣经母题的互文性,以及它们在编年史家的故事版本中对文学创作的潜在影响。
Death on the altar: The rhetoric of 'otherness' in sources from the early period of the crusades
The article poses a thesis that the chroniclers of the First Crusade were tapping into a preexisting literary tradition of religious conflict in the process of shaping an image of an enemy. It centres on an analysis of the symbolic significance of the particular description of a priest's death at the hands of the Turks on the altar during the celebration of mass found in several sources describing the massacre of Christians in Civetot during the First Crusade (Gesta Francorum, Tudebode's Historia de Hierosolymitano itinere, Baldric of Dol's Historiae Hierosolymitanae libri IV, Guibert of Nogent's Gesta Dei per Francos, Robert the Monk's Historia Hierosolymitana, and Oderic Vitalis' Historia ecclesiastica). The article argues that the presented description could be considered an example of a rhetorical strategy employed in the crusading accounts, used for the purpose of depicting the enemy as religious and cultural 'other'. Furthermore, the article discusses the intertextuality and the potential influence of ancient and scriptural motifs on the literary workshop of the chroniclers in their versions of the story.
