Adam of Saint Victor „Sequences”
Keywords:
Adam of Saint Victor, sequences, liturgical poetry, Latin literature, medieval, victorinesSynopsis
This publication acquaints the Polish reader with the legacy of Adam of Saint Victor (1st half of the 12th century), a brilliant theologian, poet and musician, an author hitherto virtually absent from Polish literature. This legacy consists – as is currently believed, although the issue is still under discussion – of fifty-eight sequences for various days of the liturgical year. It is worth emphasising that the works composed by Adam come from the period when the sequence genre was at its peak (the 12th century). The main part of the book is therefore filled with the texts of Adam's sequences: two textual versions of these works, the original Latin and the translated Polish, have been placed here in parallel. The translations were made by the following translators: Tadeusz Gacia, Łukasz Libowski, Marta Helena Nowak, Agnieszka Stry-charczuk, Adam Wilczyński and Piotr Wilk, a team established in the academic year 2021/2022 at the Latin Philology Department of the Institute of Literary Studies of the Faculty of Humanities of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. With regard to the translation, it should be noted that as far as possible efforts were made to make it metrical – some se-quences were metrically translated in their entirety. The translations are also accompanied by concise footnotes, primarily identifying references or cross-references to specific passages of Scripture. A comprehensive introduction completes the book. It is in two parts. The first introductory text Adam of Saint Victor and his poetic output – written by Agnieszka Strycharczuk – on the one hand presents the figure of Adam, the context of his life and work, and on the other hand introduces issues related to the genre of the sequence and the sequences whose authorship is attributed to Adam. On the other hand, in the second introductory text Harmony between everything and everyone. Evocations, printed in the publication both in the original French version and in the Polish translation – written by Patrice Sicard – the main “topics that «inhabited» the soul of the cantor Adam” and which consequently “inhabited” and “inhabit” also in his poetry, are presented. Thus, Sicard's text proves to be an excellent introduction into the inner world of Adam's sequences. The publication closes with a bibliography that lists the works to which one can refer when conducting research on the Adam’s sequences, in addition to factual, biblical and personal indexes.
