Abstract

Resumen: Quest’articolo sottolinea la dimensione poetica delle due città agostiniane, civitas Dei e terrena (o diaboli), per poi esaminare il suo diveso trattamento in sede verbale sia in sede figurativa. Come termine di comparazione è preso come esempio un celebre manoscritto miniato de De civitate Dei (Plut. 12.17). In accordo tanto con il trattato agostiniano quanto con la sua ricezione medievale, l’articolo offre nuova e originale interpretazione delle quattro tavole miniate che aprono questo manoscritto.

Palabras clave: Agostino. De civitate Dei. Civitas terrena. Civitas diaboli. Saeculum. Canterbury. Polisemia. Equivocità. Poetica verbale. Poetica figurativa. Antitesi.


Abstract: This article points out the poetic dimension of the two cities defined by S. Augustine, the civitas Dei and the civitas terrena (or diaboli); then it considers the different treatment of such a dimension in the verbal and in the visual code. In order to develop this comparison the author examines a well-known illuminated manuscript of the De civitate Dei (Plut. 12.17; Canterbury? 1120-1130). In keeping with the Augustinian treatise as well as with its medieval reception, the article offers a new and original insight of the four depicted folios, which open this manuscript.

Keywords: Augustin. De civitate Dei. Civitas terrena. Civitas diaboli. Saeculum. Canterbury. Polisemy. Ambiguity. Verbal poetry. Visual poetry. Antithesis.
