The poems discussed in this last part of the article are perhaps Erugena’s most famous. They are related to each other by their subject matter, and depend in part on the same sources. ‘Si vis OYPANIAC’ is dedicated to the incarnation of the Word, and may have been written for the liturgical feast of the Annunciation (March 25). This theological theme is introduced by cosmological –where the influence of Martianus Capella has been pointed out– and metaphysical considerations. The latter poems are based on pseudo-Denys, but, like other Eriugenian texts, combine ideas on being and causality of God taken from the Areopagite with those of another Christian Neoplatonist, Marius Victorinus, whose book I B Adversus Arium (chapters 48-64) also provides elements for the conception of the flesh of Christ as a way of access to the “hidden and veiled” divinity of the second half of the carmen. Another source for this section is a little-known opuscule, which the manuscript tradition joined to the exegetical works of Marius Victorinus, the Liber de physicis. The poem IX Traube, ‘Aulae sidereae’, has been the object of much research in recent years, especially with regard to its probable references to the church built by Charles the Bald in his palace in Compiègne. Here this question is discussed on the basis of a little-noticed architectural description of De praedestinatione, and with the help of a recent study by M. Herren, in which, among other things, the links of the poem IX with the Christmas festival are emphasized. The birth of Christ is in fact the central theme, according to which those of the equinoxes and solstices appear –there Eriugena comes close to a piece from the poem called Celtic Catecheses–, and the meaning of the numbers four and eight, influenced by Victorin de Pettau's De fabrica mundi. The Commentary on the Apocalypse by the same author could explain the controversial expression 'centeno normate' (v. 87), and would have inspired some verses of the Codex aureus. Finally, the De physics, mentioned above, also seems to be at the origin of many of the motifs of carmen IX. In the final pages of this paper, two subjects are briefly considered: the connection of Eriugena to the Irish branch of Medieval Latin literature, and his implicit opposition to a heterodox Christological doctrine of the end of the eighth century, the Spanish adoptianism. |

Los poemas discutidos en esta última parte del artículo son quizás los más famosos de Eriúgena. Están relacionados entre sí por su temática, y dependen en parte de las mismas fuentes. ‘Si vis OYPANIAC’ está dedicado a la encarnación del Verbo y puede haber sido escrito para la fiesta litúrgica de la Anunciación (25 de marzo). Este tema teológico es introducido por consideraciones cosmológicas –donde se ha señalado la influencia de Marciano Capella– y metafísicas. Estos últimos poemas se basan en pseudo-Dionisio, pero, como otros textos eriugenianos, combinan las ideas sobre el ser y la causalidad de Dios tomadas del Areopagita con las de otro neoplatonista cristiano, Mario Victorino, cuyo libro I B Adversus Arium (capítulos 48-64) también proporciona elementos para la concepción de la carne de Cristo como vía de acceso a la divinidad ‘oculta y velada’ de la segunda mitad del carmen. Otra fuente de esta sección es un opúsculo poco conocido, que la tradición manuscrita unió a los trabajos exegéticos de Mario Victorino, el Liber de physicis. El poema IX Traube, ‘Aulae sidereae’, ha sido objeto de muchas investigaciones en los últimos años, sobre todo en lo que respecta a sus probables referencias a la iglesia construida por Carlos el Calvo en su palacio de Compiègne. Aquí se discute esta cuestión sobre la base de una descripción arquitectónica poco conocida del De praedestinatione, y con la ayuda de un estudio reciente de M. Herren, en el que, entre otras cosas, se destacan los vínculos del poema IX con la fiesta de Navidad. El nacimiento de Cristo es, en efecto, el tema central, según el cual aparecen los de los equinoccios y los solsticios –aquí Eriugena se acerca a una pieza del poema llamado Catequesis Celta–, y el significado de los números cuatro y ocho, influenciados por el De fabrica mundi de Victorin de Pettau. El Comentario al Apocalipsis del mismo autor podría explicar la controvertida expresión ‘centeno normate’ (v. 87) y habría inspirado algunos versos del Codex aureus. Por último, el De physics, mencionado anteriormente, también parece estar en el origen de muchos de los motivos del carmen IX. En las últimas páginas de este documento se examinan brevemente dos temas: la conexión de Eriugena con la rama irlandesa de la literatura latina medieval y su oposición implícita a una doctrina cristológica heterodoxa de finales del siglo VIII, el adopcionismo español. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/8742 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/8742/7550 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 11 (1990); 28-67 2683-9636 Eriúgena Poemas Opúsculos Tradición Neoplatonismo Eriugena Poems Opuscules Tradition Neoplatonism Comments on some Eriugena’s poems Acotaciones sobre algunos poemas de Eriúgena info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=8742_oai |
