今年是中世纪意大利思想家、文艺复兴运动的杰出代表卜伽丘(Giovanni Boccaccio)诞辰700周年。英国曼彻斯特大学官网7月11日报道,该校意大利语高级讲师圭达·阿姆斯特朗(Guyda Armstrong)日前在该校图书馆发现了卜伽丘著作《名人鉴证》(De casibus virorum illustrium)的翻译手稿。
该手稿译本《名人鉴证》(Des cas des nobles hommes et femmes)诞生于1400年,由法国人文主义者劳伦特·德·佩米菲(Laurent de Premierfait)翻译而成。曼彻斯特大学约翰·赖兰德图书馆于1963年从一位巴黎书商手中购得此手稿。此后,该手稿一直藏于图书馆内,未引起学界关注。
阿姆斯特朗介绍称,《名人鉴证》是一部关于历史名人的传记集,其名字既可翻译成“名人的命运”,又可翻译成“名人的沉浮”。该著作开创了具有强烈道德教训意味的史传传统,通过叙述历史以启迪当时的统治者,达到批判暴政、以史为鉴的效果。
佩米菲分别于1400年和1409年两次翻译过《名人鉴证》。阿姆斯特朗表示,如今1409年的翻译版本更为流行,而本次确认的手稿是1400年的版本,1400年的版本仅有几份留存至今,弥足珍贵。
阿姆斯特朗计划对该手稿进行数字化处理,以供世界各地的读者欣赏。“在自己的专业研究领域发现此前未知的、未曾被研究过的手稿堪称每位研究者的梦想。该手稿不仅对卜伽丘的研究者来说具有重要意义,同时对研究中世纪翻译及文本文化的学者来说,也具有一定的学术价值。”
