Document Details : Title: Ein hochmittelalterliches Gedicht über Erdbeben als Reflex der chartreser Naturphilosophie Author(s): HAYE, Thomas Journal: Recherches de Théologie et Philosophie Médiévales Volume: 75 Issue: 1 Date: 2008 Pages: 77-86 DOI: 10.2143/RTPM.75.1.2030802 Abstract : The codex Vaticanus latinus 10380 contains the earliest medieval didactic poem dealing with the causes of earthquakes. Because the author, an anonymous writer of the first half of the twelfth century, successively considers ancient poetry, pagan philosophy (especially Calcidius’ translation of Plato’s Timaios), and Christian doctrine, the text seems to be part of the famous intellectual tradition that is known as the ‘school of Chartres’. This paper presents a critical edition and a literary evaluation of the text. |
