Anthropomorphic Contextual Demonology in the Chivalric Romance "Jonathas ende Rosafiere"
Languages of publication
Abstracts
Średniowieczne utwory niderlandzkie stanowią interesujący przedmiot badań interdyscyplinarnych. Ich wyraźnie moralizatorski charakter nie wyklucza istnienia głębszych wymiarów teologicznych, których odkrycie i twórcze zinterpretowanie może pobudzić współczesnego czytelnika do bardziej odważnego poszukiwania śladów Transcendencji w nierzadko tragicznym ludzkim losie.
This article outlines the literary and theological view on the demonology as presented in the medieval Dutch romance “Jonathas ende Rosafiere”. After the discovery made by Remco Sleiderink of unknown fragments from 14th century this text has received some new attention mainly regarding the content that has been rearranged. Among many questions that have to be answered was that of the devilish element. The text reaches its climax in a rape scene on one of the main characters Rosafiere by her own father, who sneaks into the convent, accompanied by and with the help of the devil, both in the form of a nun. In this article the motif of the anthropomorphic devil is presented from theological point of view as a locus theologicus and analysed and explained by means of literary theology. At the same time the article is challenging the contemporary research in the humanities and its link to the recent developments.
