Resumo: | It is in the text of Confessions, by Augustine of Hippo, that practically all records related to the existence of Monica, his mother, are found. However, the literary analysis of these data reveals a deep intertextuality with the original Latin classics and biblical texts, which allows the perception of a great artificiality in the narrative of his biographical description. After all, on the one hand, Monica bears Virgilian hypotextual traits from Dido, Euryalus' mother and Anchises; on the other hand, she is described under the allusions by Paul of Tarsus and Christ. Furthermore, the uncertainties regarding the origin of her name, combined with a new possibility of etymological roots presented here, emphasize the exemplary character of this supposed Vita Monnicae, whose protagonist became the Christian paradigm of motherhood. Thus, Monica's biographical account could endorse the entire devotional practice initiated in the 15th century, due to the explicit interest of the Holy See and the Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine. |

No entanto, a análise literária desses dados revela uma profunda intertextualidade com os originais clássicos latinos e com os textos bíblicos, o que permite a percepção de uma grande artificialidade narrativa de sua descrição biográfica. Afinal, por um lado, Mônica carrega traços hipotextuais virgilianos de Dido, de Anquises e da mãe de Euríalo; por outro lado, ela é descrita sob as alusões de Paulo de Tarso e de Cristo. Além disso, as incertezas quanto à origem de seu nome, aliadas a uma nova possibilidade de radicação etimológica aqui apresentada, acentuam o caráter exemplar dessa suposta Vita Monnicae, cuja protagonista se tornou o paradigma cristão da maternidade. Desse modo, o relato biográfico de Mônica pôde embasar toda a prática devocional iniciada no século XV, por explícito interesse da Sé Papal e da Ordem dos Eremitas de Santo Agostinho.Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora2022-10-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/article/view/3841810.34019/2318-3446.2022.38418Rónai – Revista de Estudos Clássicos e Tradutórios; 2022: Special issue: Vitae: constructions around biography in Antiquity and its reception; 16-38Rónai – Revista de Estudos Clássicos e Tradutórios; 2022: Edição especial: Vitae: construções em torno da ideia de biografia na Antiguidade e sua recepção; 16-382318-3446reponame:Rónaiinstname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/article/view/38418/25156Copyright (c) 2022 Márcio Meirelles Gouvêa Júniorhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGouvêa Júnior, Márcio Meirelles2022-12-06T14:54:12Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/38418Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronaiPUBhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/oairevistaronai@gmail.comhttps://doi.org/10.34019/2318-34462318-34462318-3446opendoar:2024-05-03T12:01:09.621206Rónai - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)true |
