Descrizione del progetto
Le origini delle glosse celtiche dell’Alto Medioevo nell’opera di Beda il Venerabile
Durante l’Alto Medioevo, gli studiosi irlandesi iniziarono a utilizzare tecniche per commentare i testi latini, procedura che diventò una tradizione in tutta Europa. Il principale interrogativo della ricerca è stabilire se le glosse vernacolari (ad esempio quelle scritte nelle lingue celtiche medievali) sono composizioni originali oppure traduzioni dal latino. Il progetto GLOSS-VIBE, finanziato dall’UE, studierà la tradizione della glossa celtica durante l’Alto Medioevo nell’opera «De Temporum Ratione» di Beda il Venerabile analizzando le glosse latine e celtiche rinvenute nel manoscritto ubicato a Vienna presso la Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Codex 15298, Olim Suppl. 2698). Il progetto analizzerà il manoscritto attraverso l’impiego di metodologie provenienti dall’informatica umanistica, dalla filologia, dalla linguistica e dagli studi traslazionali per fornire la prima edizione digitale documentale completa, compresi il testo primario e tutte le glosse e annotazioni scoperte nell’opera di Beda a Vienna.
Obiettivo
The early medieval period is marked by constant interchange and multicultural relationships, and has significantly shaped Western intellectual history. During this time Irish scholars started to annotate texts, i.e. underlining, highlighting, glossing etc. – techniques that quickly spread across the European continent and are still used today. Gloss-ViBe will research the early medieval Celtic glossing tradition on the Venerable Bede’s De Temporum Ratione. Its main research question is: “Are vernacular glosses original compositions or translations from original Latin glosses?” The present project will investigate the Celtic and Latin glosses found in the manuscript Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Codex 15298 (olim Suppl. 2698) from different angles including methodology from the digital humanities, philology, linguistics and translational studies. Since there is a lack of comprehensive editions of early medieval glossed manuscripts, this study is a pioneering and challenging task. One of its main deliverables will be the first such comprehensive digital documentary edition. It will include the primary text and all the glosses and annotations found in the Vienna Bede. Because of the fragile nature of the manuscript and recent advances in digital humanities in conjecture with a simultaneously arising interest on how to annotate (digital) documents caused by the recent shift from paper to digital media, the proposed research is highly topical at this time. It offers insights into how information has been processed that can be directly applied to modern annotation systems. Additionally, researching the multicultural environment in which early medieval manuscripts were composed also has impact for understanding modern migration patterns, especially in a scholarly environment.
