Abstract

Focusing on the relationship between word and image at Montceaux-l'Etoile, this essay argues that a pair of capitals representing a siren and an onocentaur functioned as a sculptural commentary on the apocalyptic notion that "the time is near." From a broader perspective, this interpretation opens up a new way to read the Romanesque sculpture of Burgundy as word images, where capitals evoked specific phrases from scripture and the choice of phrases determined the overall program; comparisons to Autun and Vezelay suggest that these churches adopted a similar method. Eighty-one texts collected in the appendix set out the evidence for the siren and onocentaur in early medieval thought.

塞壬和独角兽:在蒙特索的罗马式启示录

这篇文章关注的是蒙特索-l'Etoile的文字和图像之间的关系，认为一对代表塞壬和独角兽的首都是对“时间近了”的世界末日概念的雕塑评论。从更广泛的角度来看，这种解读开辟了一种新的方式，将勃艮第的罗马式雕塑作为文字图像来解读，其中大写唤起了经文中的特定短语，短语的选择决定了整体方案;与奥顿和韦兹雷的比较表明，这些教堂采用了类似的方法。附录中收集的81篇文章列出了中世纪早期思想中塞壬和独角兽存在的证据。

期刊介绍： Artibus et Historiae is a journal dedicated to the visual arts, published by IRSA Publishing House. The lavishly illustrated articles cover a broad range of subjects, including photography and film, as well as traditional topics of scholarly art research. Artibus et Historiae particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies - art history in conjunction with other humanistic fields, such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, or literature - and unconventional approaches. Thus it is hoped that the current trends in art history will be well represented in our issues. Artibus et Historiae appears twice a year, in hardback. The articles are in one of four languages: English, Italian, German, or French, at the author"s discretion.
