Hroswitha von Gandersheim

Japanese: ロスウィータ[ガンダースハイムの](英語表記)Hroswitha von Gandersheim
Hroswitha von Gandersheim
935?-980?
Germany's first female poet. Also spelled Roswitha or Hrotsvith. A nun at Gandersheim Abbey, she wrote eight verse hagiographies, six rhyming prose plays in the style of Terence, and two historical poems in medieval Latin. Her plays, which belong to the oldest layer of Christian drama, imitate Terence, but reject his pagan immorality and focus exclusively on praising chastity, and have a strong educational intent. All of her works were forgotten except for one that was incorporated into a 12th century passion play, but were rediscovered during the humanist period.

ドイツ最初の女流詩人。RoswithaまたはローツウィトHrotsvithとも記される。ガンダースハイム修道院の尼僧。8編の韻文聖者伝,テレンティウス風の押韻散文戯曲6編,歴史詩2編を中世ラテン語で書いた。キリスト教的戯曲の最古層に属す彼女の戯曲はテレンティウスにならいながらも,彼の異教的不道徳を排して貞潔の賛美に終始しており,教育的意図が濃厚である。彼女の作品は12世紀の受難劇に取り入れられた1編を例外としてすべて忘れられていたが,人文主義期に再発見された。
