…From Noah, the father, grow two trunks, Shem and Japheth, which cross each other to form three rings, symbolizing the past, present, and future of Christianity. The “Tree of Jesse” found in the Book of Isaiah (Chapter 11) is a symbol of Jewish history, an image that saw many expressions throughout the Middle Ages. The tree that grew from Jesse’s loins bears the fruits of Mary and Christ. … From [Genealogy]…The College of Arms is headed by three Kings: the Garter King, who is responsible for the investigation of the Order of the Garter; the Clarenceux King of Arms, who is responsible for south of the Trent and Wales; and the Norroy (and Ulster) King of Arms, who is responsible for north of the Trent and Northern Ireland (since 1943). The family tree is traced back to the “Tree of Jesse” (root or stock), which can be seen in medieval European manuscripts and church windows, indicating that Jesus is of Jesse’s lineage. The earliest record of the “Tree of Jesse” dates back to 1097, when Guillaume de Tournay brought a candlestick in the shape of the “Tree of Jesse” from the East, and can also be seen in the stained glass windows of the 12th century church of Saint-Denis. … From [Gothic Art]…Similar symbolic images appear in the stained glass around the sanctuary, which he commissioned from artists from various regions, and are reflected in the mid-12th century stained glass at Chartres. The image is of the "Tree of Jesse," with the Old Testament kings superimposed on a tree that grew from Jesse, with Jesus at the top, thus expressing a genealogical contrast between the Old and New Testaments. He also commissioned a sculptor from Aquitaine to decorate the main portal, which features figures of the Old Testament kings, patriarchs, and prophets on either side of the portal. … From the Tree of Life…12 branches sprout from the trunk of the tree on which Christ was crucified, and 48 medallions are arranged on the branches, depicting the life of Christ. It is similar to, but different from, the image of the genealogy of Christ called the Tree of Jesse (root). A representative example would be the work of Pacino di Bonaguida (early 14th century). … *Some of the terminology that refers to the "Tree of Jesse" is listed below.

…父であるノアからセムとヤペテの2本の幹が伸び,この2本が交差してつくる三つの輪によってキリスト教の過去,現在,未来が象徴される。《イザヤ書》(11章)にみられる〈エッサイの木〉は,ユダヤ人の歴史を象徴し,中世を通じて多くの表現を見たイメージである。エッサイの腰から生えた木には,マリアとキリストが実る。… 【系図】より…紋章院はガーター勲章の調査の責任者Garter Kingと,トレントTrent川以南とウェールズを受け持つ紋章官Clarenceux King of Arms,トレント川以北と北アイルランド(1943年より)の責任者Norroy (& Ulster) King of Armsの3 Kingsが統括している。 家系を図示するのはヨーロッパ中世の写本や教会の窓に見られるイエスがエッサイの家系であることを示す〈エッサイの木(根または株)〉にさかのぼる。〈エッサイの木〉の最も古い記録は,1097年にギヨーム・ド・トゥルネGuillaume de Tournayが東方から〈エッサイの木〉をかたどった燭台をもたらしたというのにさかのぼり,12世紀に作られたサン・ドニ教会のステンドグラスにも見られる。… 【ゴシック美術】より…同様の象徴主義的図像は,彼が諸地方の画家を呼んでつくらせた内陣周囲のステンド・グラスにも現れ,その反映はシャルトルの12世紀半ばのステンド・グラスに反映している。それは〈エッサイの木〉の図像で,旧約の諸王が横たわるエッサイからはえた木に重ねて表され,頂上にイエスをおくものであり,ここでは新旧両約の対照が系図的に表される。彼はさらに正面の扉口をアキテーヌの彫刻家を呼んで飾らせるが,旧約の諸王のほか,族長や預言者らを加えて扉口両側に立ちならぶ像をつくらせた。… 【生命の樹】より…キリストが磔刑にされている木の幹から,左右に12本の枝が分かれ出,その枝には48のメダイヨンが配され,そこにキリストの生涯が表されている。〈エッサイの木(根)〉と称されるキリストの系譜の図像と類似してはいるが異なっている。その代表例としては,パチーノ・ディ・ボナグイーダPacino di Bonaguidaの作品(14世紀初頭)を挙げることができるだろう。… ※「エッサイの木」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
