More specifically, it characterizes Langland's Four Daughters' debate in Passus B XVIII/C XX as a moment of metanarrative reflection that considers the power and limitations of storytelling for knowing God. At the poem's narrative climax, between the Crucifixion and the Harrowing of Hell, Langland inserts a deliberative pause in which Mercy, Truth, Justice, and Peace attempt to discern what the death of Christ means. While scholars typically read the debate as a discursive exchange, the speakers repeatedly tell stories. Most poignantly, within this larger life of Christ, Mercy, Peace, and the personification Book all narrate new lives of Christ. Langland presents the nested vitae Christi as acts of discernment that integrate select aspects of biblical history and forget or exclude others. By means of narrative selectivity, the speakers render God more legible, while also manifesting ideologies and potentially fostering misunderstanding. Ultimately, the essay argues that Langland presents any individual vita Christi as an insufficient means to know God, but affirms the collective, multivocal project of storytelling as vital to the quest for such knowledge.","PeriodicalId":53678,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Age of Chaucer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44390883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alhacen's De aspectibus, the Latin translation of his extraordinary treatise Kitāb al-Manāzir (Book of Optics) has long been acknowledged and utilized in Chaucer scholarship. However, little focused attention has been paid to tracing the intertextual routes that lead to Chaucer's \"Alocen\" from Jean de Meun's reference to \"Alhacem\" in the Roman de la Rose, through to entries on \"Ibn al-Haytham\" in Arabic bio-bibliographic dictionaries. In tracing the ways that European vernacular literature can be connected with Arabic textualtradi tions, this article also challenges the under-examined Eurocentric approaches to Chaucer and late medieval vernacular literature where Arabic figures such as \"Alocen\" have been collapsed into generic molds of medieval philosophers. It argues that repositioning Chaucer's \"Alocen\" as an Arabic mathematician and optical authority allows us to understand better not only his presence in The Squire's Tale, but the depiction of the physical act of looking and the cognitive and psychological consequences of key moments of sight beyond this romance. In order to demonstrate this, the exact question of \"how one sees\" as presented in the Kitāb al-Manāzir is explored with particular attention paid to the psychology of sight in examining the relationship between perception and judgment in three pivotal acts of looking in The Knight's Tale, The Physician's Tale, and Troilus and Criseyde.","PeriodicalId":53678,"journal":{"name":"Studies in the Age of Chaucer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49592993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
