Philippe de Taon (Thaün)

Japanese: フィリップ・ド・タン(英語表記)Philippe de Taon(Thaün)
Philippe de Taon (Thaün)
A scholarly monk in Normandy, France, in the first half of the 12th century. Dates of birth and death unknown. His Bestiary (before 1130), the first work of medieval French didactic literature, begins with six syllables and the rest are written in octosyllable verse. He also wrote the Jewels in eight-syllabic lines, both of which are fragments of Greek and Latin knowledge from Aristotle and Solinus, with Christian allegorical interpretations. He also left behind a Calendar, which shows the astronomical knowledge of his time, because medieval scholars needed the knowledge to determine the date of Easter, a movable holiday.

Japanese:
12世紀前半のフランス,ノルマンディー地方の学僧。生没年不詳。中世フランス語の教訓文学の最初の作品となった《動物誌》(1130以前)は冒頭が6音節,残りは8音節の韻文で書かれている。また8音節詩行による《宝石誌》もあるが,いずれもアリストテレス,ソリヌス以来のギリシア,ラテンの知識の断片にキリスト教的寓意による解釈を加えたものである。また当時の天文学の知識を示す《暦法》も残したが,これは移動祝日である復活祭を決定する知識が中世の学僧に必要だったからである。
