引于经典,利于现世——《加洛林书信集》言事技艺及其历史内涵之探析

Quoting from classic and benefiting for temporal interests:An analysis about the talking skills and historical connotation of Codex Carolinus

《加洛林书信集》是791年由查理曼下令收集、整理的一部罗马教皇书信合集,其中囊括了739年至791年间数位罗马教皇寄予加洛林宫廷的百余封信件,记叙内容颇为丰富。作为西欧中世纪史研究中较为少见的非叙述性信件合集史料,长期以来,学者们多以史料的客观性为标准,重点辨析《加洛林书信集》所载内容的真实与否,而对其文字特征的审视则略显不足。在8世纪纷繁复杂的军政局势下,为了获取法兰克王国的军事援助,教皇们在书信写作中运用了各式文字技巧,来对加洛林统治者加以劝诱。而对这些言事技艺的深层探析,不仅有助于充分认识法兰克—教皇联盟漫长且曲折的建立过程,而且也将进一步推进学者们对《加洛林书信集》的理解与运用。

Codex Carolinus is a collection of papal letters which was ordered by Charlemagne to collect and organize in 791,it contains about one hundred letters sent to the Carolingian court by several Popes from 739 to 791,it’s main content is very rich.As a relatively rare collection of letters in the study of medieval history,for a long time,scholars usually take the objectivity of historical materials as the standard to differentiate and analyze whether the contents in Codex Carolinus are true or not,and the examination of its textual characteristics is slightly insufficient.In the complex military and political situation of the 8th century,the popes used a variety of writing skills in their letters to persuade the rulers of Caroline in order to obtain military assistance from the Frankish kingdom.And a deep analysis of these writing skills will not only help to fully understand the long and tortuous process of the establishment of the Frankish-Papal Alliance,but will also promote the scholars’understanding and use of the Codex Carolinus.
