Abstract

This article offers a reanalysis of Hrabanus’ mid-ninth-century text De magicis artibus. Often read and studied as a complete work, the De magicis artibus is in fact one portion of a longer text that also discusses incest and marriage practices. Furthermore, the single surviving copy of the text is deliberately attached to another work by Hrabanus, his Poenitentiale ad Otgarium. This article argues that by examining the text in its entirety, as well as its manuscript context and edition history, Hrabanus’ whole work is better understood as one of pastoral care informed by the Old Testament.

重新审视赫拉巴努斯·毛罗斯关于乱伦与魔法的信

本文对赫拉巴努斯九世纪中期的著作《论魔法师》进行了重新分析。《论巫术》通常被视为一部完整的作品来阅读和研究，但它实际上是一篇更长的文本的一部分，该文本还讨论了乱伦和婚姻习俗。此外，唯一幸存的文本副本被故意附在赫拉巴努斯的另一部作品，他的《神甫与奥伽利亚》。本文认为，通过整体考察文本，以及其手稿背景和版本历史，赫拉巴努斯的整个作品可以更好地理解为旧约所告知的牧师关怀之一。

期刊介绍： Early Medieval Europe provides an indispensable source of information and debate on the history of Europe from the later Roman Empire to the eleventh century. The journal is a thoroughly interdisciplinary forum, encouraging the discussion of archaeology, numismatics, palaeography, diplomatic, literature, onomastics, art history, linguistics and epigraphy, as well as more traditional historical approaches. It covers Europe in its entirety, including material on Iceland, Ireland, the British Isles, Scandinavia and Continental Europe (both west and east).
