Intitulada As Pinturas do Templo de Juno e o Ciclo Troiano: imagem e memória épica na arquitetura da Eneida, esta tese aborda relações entre essa obra e o ciclo troiano a partir do episódio das pinturas do templo de Juno (I, v. 450-493). Na vastíssima bibliografia de estudos virgilianos, tal questão ocupa ainda pouco espaço. A fim de fundamentar a investigação dessas relações, efetua-se no capítulo inicial uma análise e uma reconstituição dos poemas perdidos desse ciclo (Cantos Cíprios, Etíope, Pequena Ilíada, Saque de Ílion, Retornos e Telegonia). Recorrendo-se ao capitulo I, demonstram-se quatro proposições nos capítulos II e III: as imagens desse templo evocam em especial epopéias do ciclo troiano (cap. II.1); as imagens encontram-se ordenadas conforme essa evocação (cap. II.2); na composição desse episódio, emprega-se e encena-se a teoria retórica da arte da memória (cap. II.3); a seqüência de épicos cíclicos evocados tem continuidade nos seis cantos iniciais e desse modo participa da arquitetura da Eneida (cap. III). As investigações realizadas para demonstrar essas proposições revelam um diálogo conscientemente urdido com poemas desse ciclo e assim propiciam a concretização de novos sentidos na leitura da Eneida. Com tal procedimento, Virgílio não apenas reaviva a memória da saga de Tróia, na qual insere sua epopéia, mas também reedita o ciclo troiano em função de Enéias. / Entitled The Pictures of Junos Temple and the Trojan Cycle: image and epic memory in the architecture of the Aeneid, this dissertation focus on the relations between this literary piece of work and the Trojan cycle inspired in the episode of the paintings of Junos temple (I, v. 450-493). Despite the extensive bibliography about the Virgilian studies, this issue has not been given appropriate attention throughout the years. In order to lay the foundations of these relations, the first chapter of this study presents an analysis and a reconstitution of the Trojan cycle lost poems (Cypria, Aethiopis, Little Iliad, Sack of Ilion, Returns and Telegony). The second and third chapters deal with four propositions: the pictures of Junos temple specially evoke some poems from the Trojan cycle (cap. II.1); the images are disposed in conformity with this evocation (chapter II.2); in the composition of this episode, rhetoric theory of the art of memory is used and illustrated (chapter II.3); the sequence of evoked cyclic poems is continued in the first six books and being so plays some important role in the architecture of the Aeneid (chapter III). The investigations developed to demonstrate these propositions have revealed a dialogue consciously woven with the poems of this cycle and, therefore, propitiate the conveyance of new meanings in the reading of the Aeneid. With such proceeding Virgil not only revive the memory of the saga of Troy, in which his epic is contextualized, but he also reedit the Trojan cycle, this time, revolving around Aeneas.

A noção de comentário está intrinsecamente ligada ao trabalho de editar textos, que era feito em bibliotecas antigas, como a de Alexandria, e aos compêndios de gramática, que sistematizavam os conceitos utilizados para a leitura dos textos. Além disso, esse material de anotações e explicações era utilizado no ambiente escolar, como um apoio elucidativo de passagens obscuras, de palavras e costumes antigos, de mitos e histórias e de usos gramaticais, por exemplo. Entre os autores que passaram pelo crivo dos comentadores e que, então, faziam parte do programa escolar, está Vergílio, como nos indica Quintiliano, na Instituição Oratória. Assim, os Comentários de Sérvio Honorato ao Canto VI, da Eneida nos possibilitam conhecer um pouco do trabalho feito nas bibliotecas, acerca das edições e leituras dos textos, dos autores estudados nas escolas e da forma como eles eram lidos. De modo mais específico, esses Comentários trazem-nos informações valiosas sobre costumes, histórias e a filosofia que vigoraram entre os mais antigos / The notion of commenting is intrinsically related to the work of editing texts developed in ancient libraries, such as the Alexandria Library, and to grammar textbooks, which systematized concepts used in text reading. These notes and explanations were also used in schools as a support to clarify obscure passages, words and ancient customs, myths, tales and grammatical usages, for instance. Among the authors examined by commentators and who were on the syllabus at the time is Vergil, as Quintilian quotes in Institutio Oratoria. So the commentaries of Servius Honoratus on Aeneid \"Book VI\" enable us to acquire some knowledge on the work developed in libraries involving editions and the readings of texts, the authors who were studied in schools, taking into consideration the way they were read at that time. Particularly, these Commentaries give us some precious information on a set of topics invaluable for the members of that ancient society

Cette thèse présente une étude historique des traductions et imitations britanniques du livre IV de l’Énéide de Virgile aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles, depuis l’Eneados de Gavin Douglas [1513] jusqu’au Dryden’s Virgil de 1697. À travers une étude comparative des traductions successives de l’épisode, on y dégage les transformations de la notion d’ imitation comme modèle de la traduction littéraire au cours de la période. À une conception de la traduction dominée au XVIe siècle par le modèle rhétorique antique de l’imitatio, et par le souci de développer l’épopée vernaculaire sur le modèle virgilien, succède dans la première moitié du XVIIe siècle une définition spécifique de l’imitation comme modalité de la traduction libre. Dans un contexte de crise politique et de compétition entre les différentes versions de l’épisode, les “imitations” deviennent le lieu de prises de position idéologiques et esthétiques, dans des interprétations contrastées du modèle épique virgilien. Les réécritures du livre IV de l’Énéide qui marquent le second XVIIe siècle témoignent d’un certain éclatement de la notion d’ imitation, qui désigne à la fois les réécritures satiriques et parodiques de l’épisode, et l’entreprise de fondation culturelle et esthétique de l’âge “augustéen”. Au modèle herméneutique hérité des traducteurs humanistes se substitue alors avec Dryden une conception esthétique de la traduction littéraire comme mimesis artistique. L’étude associe l’analyse des stratégies formelles et interprétatives propres à chaque traduction à une réflexion sur la réception britannique de l’Énéide et offre des éléments de méthode pour l’analyse historique des traductions sur la longue durée. / This thesis consists in a historical study of the translations and imitations of Virgil’s Aeneid IV in XVIth- and XVIIth century Britain. Through a comparative analysis of the many translations of the episode between Douglas’s Eneados [1513] and Dryden’s 1697 Virgil, this study highlights the main transformations of the notion of imitation as a central concept in Early Modern translation theory and practice. First dominated by the Classical model of rhetorical imitatio and by the Humanist fashioning of the vernacular epic after Virgil’s Aeneid, the concept of imitation is reinterpreted in the first half of the XVIIth century as an form of free translation. In a context of political crisis, of competing translations of the episode, and of clashing interpretations of the virgilian epic model, the practice of imitation reads as an assertion of the translators’ aesthetic and political agendas. In the second half of the XVIIth century, the rewritings of Aeneid IV reveal a paradoxical reappropriation of the notion of imitation, which is used at once to define the satirical parodies of Virgil’s epic, and to establish the political and cultural foundations of the “Augustan age”. With Dryden’s Virgil, the hermeneutic model of translation inherited from the Humanists is replaced by a specifically aesthetic theory of literary translation modelled on the neoclassical discourse on mimesis. The aim of this study is to combine a detailed analysis of the literary and interpretive strategies at work in each translation with a broader discussion of the reception of Virgil’s Aeneid, and to develop a method for the historical analysis of the translations of a given text over a long period of time.

La tesi di dottorato riporta alcuni contributi (tra cui un saggio di edizione critica) riguardanti i volgarizzamenti dell'Eneide in compendio (sec. XIV), opera più volte associata con il nome del fiorentino Andrea Lancia, celebre per i suoi interessi danteschi. / The doctoral thesis quotes several studies (among which an essay of critical edition) about transmission of the Aeneid's abridgement's translations (XIVth century): these works have been often associated with the name of the Florentine notary Andrea Lancia, who is famous because of his interests in Dante.

Cicero, Quintilian and the anonymous author of the ad Herennium each describe the art and practice of using an artificial memory system to help aid remembrance. Each of the authors’ respective treatises offers an exploration of how both loci (places) and imagines (images) were used to facilitate remembrance of both res (things) and verba (words). The methods delineated by each author provide valuable insight into the visual process, used by educated Romans to retrieve and recall information stored in their memories. The goal of this paper is to look at the rhetoricians’ discussions of the art of memory and posit that Virgil uses the artificial memory system features of sequential order, discriminability, and distinctiveness when describes the way his characters look at various images in the Aeneid.

William Clarke (1976) and Nathan Greenberg (1980) offer an objective framework for the study of alliteration in Latin poetry. However, their definition of alliteration as word initial sound repetition in a verse is inconsistent with the syllabic nature both of the device itself and also of the metrical structure. The present study reconciles this disparity in the first half of the Aeneid by applying a similar method to syllable initial sound repetition. A chi-square test for goodness-of-fit reveals that the distributions of the voiceless obstruents [p], [t], [k], [k^w], [f], and [s] and the sonorants [m], [n], [l], and [r] differ significantly from a Poisson model. These sounds generally occur twice per verse more often than expected, and three or more times per verse less often than expected. This finding is largely consistent with existing observations about Vergil's style (e.g. Clarke, 1976; Greenberg, 1980; Wilkinson, 1963). The regular association of phonetic features with differences in distribution suggests phonetic motivation for the practice.
