Poetyckie i prozatorskie „sylwy” – wobec tradycji retorycznej

Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

The article aimed at arranging and correcting the state of research on the functioning of the notion of “silva” in Old-Polish discourses. Basing on an initial division into the so called “silvae rerum” and poetic “silvas”, the author of the article quotes particular paragraphs of works written by the Ancient authors (mainly by Cicero) to which the references were made later on on the occasion of using the category of “silva rerum” in rhetorical works and headings of the collections of eruditions, symbols and “well -known quotations”, etc. published. The examples in question were presented in the article preceded by a summary of the contents of the coursebooks chapters by Iuglaris (Aloysius Iuglaris) as well as Jan Kwiatkiewicz and Veranius (Caietanus Felix Veranius). Next, the tradition of understanding “silvas” deriving from Statius was discussed. The last part of the text is devoted to the relationship between strongly-rhetoricised “silvas” of Statius type, and allegedly non-rhetoricised selected “silvas” of the twentieth century. L’article est écrit pour ordonner et corriger l’état de la recherche sur le fonctionnement dans les discours de l’ancienne Pologne de la notion de sylva. En adoptant la classification en « silvae rerum » et les « sylves » poétiques, l’auteur du texte cite des fragments des oeuvres des auteurs antiques (avant tout de Cicéron), évoquées souvent à l’occasion de la catégorie « silvae rerum » dans les études théoriques et dans les en-têtes des recueils d’érudition, de symboles, de « paroles ailées » etc. Les exemples choisis sont présentés dans l’article, précédés de la description du chapitre du manuel [manuels] de Juglaris (Aloysius Iuglaris), aussi que celui de Jan Kwiatkiewicz et Veranius (Caietanus Felix Veranius). Dans les parties suivantes, l’auteur analyse la tradition de compréhension des « sylves », provenant de Statius. La dernière partie du texte est consacrée à la question de la relation entre des « sylves » de type de Statius, fortement rhétoriques, et des « sylves » choisis du XXe siècle, apparemment non rhétoriques.
