Latin Inscriptions on Fine Art Works of “Allegory” Genre

Abstract

    The article presents the analysis of the Latin inscriptions on paintings, frescoes and engravings of the allegory genre. The sources of borrowing, functional and semantic load, as well as graphic and linguistic features of Latin inscriptions have been studied. For accompanying inscriptions, artists used phrases from the works of ancient authors, from the Bible, from the works of contemporaries and original phrases, the authorship of which could not be established. Analysis of the linguistic and graphic features of Latin inscriptions on fine art works of allegory genre revealed a number of changes typical of the language practice of the time. The vast majority of them were caused by the processes that took place in late Latin, early medieval Latin and were partly attested by ancient grammars. The inscriptions differ in the form of presentation (poetic and prose) and in the volume (from one word to detailed explanations), which depends on their functional load.

2. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND:

Allego y begins i s long jou ney in ancien G eek li e a u e in he 6 h cen u y
BC as an allego ical in e p e a ion o poe y – Home ’s epic wo ks (in pa icula ,
Theagenes o Rhegium and Phe ecydes o Sy os) (Doma adzki 2017: 303–
306). Allego esis is a echnique o in e p e a ion ha e eals he hidden (i.e.
“allego ical”) con en o a wo k.
G eek philosophe Clean hes (middle o he 3 d cen u y BC) was he i s o use
he e m ἀλληγορικῶς (Robins 2013: 28); Deme ius o Phale on (app oxima ely
355–283 BC) used he e m ἀλληγορία: “νῦν δὲ ὥσπερ συγκαλύμματι τοῦ
λόγου τῇ ἀλληγορίᾳ κέχρηται· πᾶν γάρ τὸ ὑπονοούμενον φοβερώτερον, καὶ

some hing o he han wha i ecei es says he name “allego y” p ecisely om his)
(He acli . QH 5.2).
The allego ical in e p e a ion o my hs abou he gods p ac iced by he
G eeks became widesp ead in Rome. Aelius Dona us in A s G amma ica gi es
he ollowing de ini ion o allego y: “Allego ia es opus, quo aliud signi ica u
quam dici u ” (Allego y is a igu e ha signi ies some hing di e en om wha i
says) (Dona . A s g am. 3. 6).
A simila de ini ion is ound in Isido e o Se ille (560–636): “Allego ia es
alieniloquium. Aliud enim sona , aliud in elligi u ” (Allego y is o he speech, o
i occu s when one hing is said and ano he is unde s ood) (Isid. O ig. 1.22) and
in Ma ius Plo ius Sace dos (3 d cen u y AD): “aliud signi icans quam con ine u
in e bis” (means o he han wha is con ained in he wo ds) (Sace d. A s g am. 1.
149–153).
Despi e he ac ha allego y o igina ed in li e a u e and my hology, i was

Thus, based on he analysis o La in insc ip ions used in he wo ks o he

Many insc ip ions ha e a poe ic o m (mos ly hexame e o elegiac) (e.g.

The insc ip ions di e no only in he o m o p esen a ion bu also in he

The e bal pa is no always iden ical o he d awings, bu close o hem in
