Anthroponymes épiques dans quelques romans arthuriens en prose (original) (raw)

Sur les traces d'Arthur. Représentations et usages anthroponymiques à l'époque médiévale

Histoires de prénoms, 2024

L’enquête interroge les données historiques, littéraires, hagiographiques, monumentales, linguistiques et anthroponymiques de la période médiévale, jusqu’au début du XIIIe siècle, pour éclairer les liens entre le mythe arthurien et les usages du nom Arthur en anthroponymie. L’auteur développe plusieurs hypothèses sur l’étymologie du nom et sa diffusion au Moyen Age, la présentation du personnage d’Arthur dans les vies de saints, sa représentation sur la porte de la Pescheria de la cathédrale de Modène et dans la mosaïque de la cathédrale d’Otrante.

Un anthroponyme germanique dans une épitaphe chrétienne de Laodicée Brûlée

SEG 15, No. 818 is an early Byzantine Greek epitaph of a Christian couple from the region of Laodicea Combusta (Pisidia). According to W. M. Calder ("Early Christian Epitaphs from Phrygia", Anatolian Studies 5, 1955, p. 36-37, n° 6), the name of the husband was Fl. Alexander, followed by an unidentified title (ΑΛΑΜ[.]ΡΙΑΚΟΣ). This article argues that this is not a title, but the name Valameriacus, which derives from the Gothic name Valamer. Fl. Alexander Valameriacus may have been of Germanic origins.

Archétypes pluritextuels et formation des vulgates. Sur l'environnement cyclique des romans arthuriens en prose (ca 1200-1250)

The use of the term “cycle” in Arthurian studies dates back to at least the 1830s and it has been accepted as an established fact. However, it is only recently that a more precise portrayal was developed. In the first part of this contribution, we will explore the notion of “cycle” by highlighting the questions that led to its adoption. We will emphasize, alongside the traditional notion, the more recent concepts of “cyclicity” and “cyclification”. In the second part, these concepts will be reconsidered in the light of text transmission by analyzing the mechanisms of formation of pluritextual archetypes and vulgates, the interaction between external and internal cyclification, and the activation of intercyclical dynamics. We will refer to this complex reality, both actual and virtual, as a “cyclical environment”.

Eros dans l'anthroponymie grecque

Mnemosyne (Advance articles August 2017), 2017

The history of Greek personal names (PN) related to the theonym Eros is striking . Despite being one of the most important gods, Eros, along with Aphrodite, is largely absent from Greek proper names in the archaic and classical periods. Later, however, and especially under Rome, there is a remarkable increase in PN at Rome and Pompeii, as well as in Hispania. The reason for the absence of Eros in early Greek names is most likely the sense of the Greek term ἔρως as "passionate love," whereas its increased popularity in Hellenistic and Roman times reflects the more genial representation of the god of love in statues and reliefs.
