ABSTRACT In a homily on the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Ælfric included an account of the death of Julian the Apostate, which was derived from a portion of the Vita Basilii. Later he adapted the same Latin text more comprehensively to complete a hagiography of St Basil, in which the Julian episode appeared again. Ælfric’s first adaptation has been considered to represent a close, sometimes slavish translation of the Vita Basilii, when compared with his second adaptation, which is embellished with the rhythm and alliteration typical of his later style and tends to deviate from the language of the Latin source. Several examples support this view, but a closer examination reveals that many more points exist where Ælfric’s adaptations are similar or exactly coincide in word choice and how he transforms the Latin syntax. Interestingly, many of his linguistic modifications reflect his intention to emphasise Julian’s evil character in contrast to Basil, the pious saint. This paper will conclude that Ælfric modified the lexicon and syntax of the Vita Basilii so that the antithesis between Basil and Julian became much more striking in his two adaptations than in the Vita Basilii.

Ælfric 对 Vita Basilii 的语言修改,用于他关于叛教者朱利安之死的两部作品

摘要 在关于圣母升天的讲道中,Ælfric 包括了对叛教者朱利安之死的叙述,该叙述源自 Vita Basilii 的一部分。后来他更全面地改编​​了相同的拉丁文本以完成圣巴西尔的圣徒传记,其中再次出现了朱利安事件。与他的第二次改编相比,Ælfric 的第一次改编被认为代表了对 Vita Basilii 的接近的、有时是奴隶般的翻译,后者带有他后期风格的典型节奏和头韵,并倾向于偏离拉丁语源的语言. 有几个例子支持这个观点,但更仔细的研究会发现,Ælfric 的改编在词选择和他如何转换拉丁语句法方面相似或完全一致的地方还有很多。有趣的是,他的许多语言修改反映了他强调朱利安与虔诚圣徒巴兹尔相反的邪恶性格的意图。本文将得出结论,Ælfric 修改了 Vita Basilii 的词汇和句法,因此 Basil 和 Julian 之间的对立在他的两次改编中比在 Vita Basilii 中更加引人注目。
