《Eptameron》 - Eptameron

Japanese: 《エプタメロン》 - えぷためろん
《Eptameron》 - Eptameron

… The Decameron was handwritten and spread throughout Italy, and was passed on to such Renaissance short story writers as Franco Sacchetti, Lor Giovanni Fiorentino, Masuccio Salernitano, and Matteo Bandello, but in the 16th century it was added to the Roman Catholic Index as an avowed book that blasphemed the sanctity of the Church and the clergy. However, the collection of stories spread throughout Europe in manuscript form and was read and loved, leading to works such as Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in England and Queen Marguerite of Navarre's Heptameron in France, which led to modern literature. In Japan, Koyo Ozaki adapted a story from this work to write Hawk Dishes during the Meiji period, and several other adaptations have been made, but the essential erotic stories have never been introduced. …

From Marguerite of Navarre

…In his spare time from his busy official duties, he wrote lyric poems filled with religious ideas, as well as religious and secular dramas, all of which dealt with themes such as the search for true love, the longing for love, or satire of formulaic faith. His masterpiece, “Heptameron” (1559), also borrows the framework of “Decameron” and deals with erotic literary themes, but with his sharp observations of the various aspects of human love and hate and his consistent question of “what is love?”, he paved the way for modern psychological novels.

… この《デカメロン》は,手書きとして,イタリア中にひろがり,フランコ・サッケッティ,ロル・ジョバンニ・フィオレンティーノ,マスッチョ・サレルニターノ,マッテオ・バンデロのようなルネサンス短編小説作家に引き継がれたが,16世紀には,教会や聖職者の神聖を冒瀆(ぼうとく)する不敬の書としてローマ教皇庁の禁書目録に加えられた。というものの,写本のままこの小説集がヨーロッパ世界にひろがって愛読された結果,イギリスではチョーサーの《カンタベリー物語》,フランスではナバール王妃マルグリットの《エプタメロン》などが生まれ,近代文学とつながっていった。 日本では明治時代に尾崎紅葉がこの著の一編を翻案して《鷹料理》を著したほか,二,三の翻案が見られたが,肝心の艶笑談は紹介されたこともなかった。…

【マルグリット・ド・ナバール】より

…多忙な公務の余暇に宗教的想念に満ちた抒情詩や宗教劇・俗劇を残したが,いずれも真の愛の探究や愛の渇望,あるいは形式化した信仰の風刺をテーマとする。代表作とされる《エプタメロンHeptaméron》(1559)もまた,《デカメロン》に枠組みを借り艶笑文学的題材を扱いながら,人間的愛憎の諸相に対する鋭い観察と,〈愛とは何か〉という一貫した問いかけによって,近代心理小説への道を開いている。【二宮 敬】。…
