マルタ・アナ・ディスによる『Historias de certidumbre: Los “Milagros” de Berceo』は、1965 年以来初めてとなる『ミラグロス』専門の単著研究であり、ゴンサロ・デ・ベルセオの語りの修辞的構造を新たな視点から読み解こうとするものです。著者は、ベルセオの語りが単なる地方修道院の宣伝ではなく、信仰や救済史の理念を広めるための説得的ディスクールとして構築されている点に注目します。物語における主人公性の再定義、堕罪と救済という聖史のパラダイムの現在化、語り手が読者に与える確信の形成などを詳細に分析し、作品の思想的背景と文学的機能を明らかにしています。修辞学的手法を用いた本書は、『ミラグロス』の宗教的・文化的意義を再評価する重要な研究であり、中世スペイン文学研究に携わる研究者にとって有益な一冊となっています。

Description:
The first monographic devoted to the Milagros since 1965 (Gariano), Historias de certidumbre is a fresh approach to an old book. A rhetorical study of Berceo’s discourse leads to a new way of conceiving protagonism in th・Milagros and of distinguishing between propaganda of a local church or monastery, and the propagation of a faith or an ideology. Diz shows how a poet, thrust into human history, actualizes the paradigm of Fall and Redemption of sacred history that supports the conception of the work. For the first time, prayers and Mary’s epiphanies are identified as two conventional scenes, where the imperative is the shared verbal mode that represents the Christian paradigm of history. Also for the first time, Diz identifies ordeal as a shared motif, which, in turn, may be thought of as one of the underlying patterns in all of Berceo’s narratives.

Language, feminism, rhetoric, patristic exegesis, structural patterns, are references from which Diz studies the relation between the representation of women and of the Virgin Mary, to deny the improvement in the status of women allegedly produced by the Marian cult. Her reading, instead, proposes that in Berceo, the Virgin Mary becomes identified with the Church. Penetrated by the Word, and also a vehicle for the embodiment of the Word, Mary is endowed with a power that is also the power of the oratores. Although the association Mary - Church is by no means new in medieval theological and religious writings, it has never been proposed as pertinent to the significance of Berceo’s Milagros. In the prominence of mediation, as in many other areas, Diz finds homologies of thinking patterns between Berceo’s text and the intellectual makeup of his times.
