Abstract Food in the Libro de Apolonio is not simply a function of the plot but rather an aspect of the poet’s rhetorical and poetic technique. Four interrelated deployments of food in the poem (portrayals of bread, gendered uses of food, food practices related to health, and additional feasting scenes), when compared to the Latin source text, highlight the mester de clerecía poet’s skill in adaptation. Bread in the poem has sacramental overtones and brings the Apolonio into relation with other more explicitly religious works of mester de clerecía poetry. Food is not gendered in typically medieval ways in the Libro de Apolonio, as the poet does not connect women to food preparation or service, but rather to its sacramental and medicinal aspects. The poet uses food in relation to health throughout the poem, but perhaps most significant is the episode of Tarsiana’s proposed medicinal cure of her father Apolonio. Finally, the scenes of feasting that the poet inherits from the Latin are stark in terms of their portrayal of foods, but the feasts that the poet adds out of his own invention are the most descriptive segments involving sustenance. These four aspects, along with other food-related uses, such as the synesthetic employment of flavor throughout the poem and inserted anecdotes and moralizing digressions involving edible substances, create a vision of food in the poem that goes beyond plot and into the realm of poetic technique and characterization.

味觉比喻：《阿波罗尼奥图书馆》中的食物和风味诗学

摘要 Libro de Apolonio 中的食物不仅仅是情节的功能，而是诗人修辞和诗歌技巧的一个方面。与拉丁语源文本相比，诗中四个相互关联的食物部署（面包的描绘、食物的性别使用、与健康相关的饮食习惯以及额外的宴会场景）突出了 mester de clerecía 诗人的改编技巧。诗中的面包具有圣礼的意味，并将《阿波罗尼奥》与其他更明确的宗教作品联系起来。在 Libro de Apolonio 中，食物并没有以典型的中世纪方式进行性别区分，因为诗人没有将女性与食物准备或服务联系起来，而是将其与圣事和药用方面联系起来。诗人在整首诗中使用与健康有关的食物，但也许最重要的是 Tarsiana 提议对她父亲 Apolonio 进行药物治疗的那一集。最后，诗人从拉丁语中继承的盛宴场景在对食物的描绘上是鲜明的，但诗人自己发明的盛宴是最能描述食物的部分。这四个方面，连同其他与食物有关的用途，例如贯穿全诗的风味的联觉运用，以及涉及可食用物质的轶事和道德离题，在诗中创造了一种超越情节而进入诗意领域的食物愿景。技术和特征。但是诗人自己发明的节日是最能描述食物的部分。这四个方面，连同其他与食物有关的用途，例如贯穿全诗的风味的联觉运用，以及涉及可食用物质的轶事和道德离题，在诗中创造了一种超越情节而进入诗意领域的食物愿景。技术和特征。但是诗人自己发明的节日是最能描述食物的部分。这四个方面，连同其他与食物有关的用途，例如贯穿全诗的风味的联觉运用，以及涉及可食用物质的轶事和道德离题，在诗中创造了一种超越情节而进入诗意领域的食物愿景。技术和特征。
