Reading Lucretius in the 12th century. A preliminary examination by reference to Alan of Lille's Anticlaudianus and Walter of Chatillon's Alexandreis; [PRESENZE LUCREZIANE NEL XII SECOLO. PRIME RICOGNIZIONI NELL' ANTICLAUDIANO DI ALANO DI LILLA E NELL' ALESSANDREIDEDI GUALTIERO DI CASTIGLIONE]

Original language description

«From the tenth century until the rediscovery of Lucretius in 1417-1418, direct access to a text of De Rerum Natura is nowhere in evidences. David Butterfield's words perfectly synthesize the communis opinio of Lucretian scholarship of these last decades, according to which Lucretius' poem sank into oblivion in the High Middle Ages. However, recent studies by Solaro (1997) and Mazzini (2014) open the door to a different scenario: the De rerum natura probably continued to be read in Northern Europe (primarily, in France and England) long after the Carolingian Age, at least up to the beginning of the 13th century. This study aims at offering crucial confirmation of this thesis, by detecting and analyzing some previously unnoticed Lucretian echoes in two poems, Anticlaudianus by Alan of Lille and Alexandreis by Walter of Châtillon, both written in Northern France at the end of the twelfth century. These echoes are placed in key positions within the hexameter (mostly verse-end, involving at least two words) and seem to be part of an intertextual dialogue with the De rerum natura. Significantly, there is no clear intermediate source between Lucretius' poem and these texts, therefore indirect transmission can be ruled out and it is possible to assume a direct dependence on the De rerum natura. © 2023 Universita degli Studi di Pavia, Facolta di Lettere.
