Право на миф. Введение в поэтику Шартрской школы
This article is an introduction to some most important texts, linked to
the so called School of Chartres: the De sex dierum operibus by Th ierry
of Chartres, the Cosmographia by Bernard Silvestris, the Philosophia by
William of Conches. Th ese scholars combined commenting on authoritative
texts of the past, from the Genesis to Vergile, Boethius, Macrobius
etc. with sometimes profoundly innovating attempts to describe the
world in prosaic and poetic texts of their own. Th e author tries to analyse
these diff erent forms of writing and teaching, the style of its expression
in order to understand better the doctrinal achievements, traditionally
ascribed to this eminent center of the XIIth century Renaissance. He
compares “chartrian” texts with some no less infl uent texts of the same
period: from Guibert of Nogent and Abaelard to Hugh of Saint-Victor.
