2024考研英语同源外刊3月:达·芬奇的母亲是奴隶吗?

Leonardo da Vinci's mother was a slave trafficked into Italy, an expert on the Renaissance artist has claimed. In a new novel, a dramatized account of her life, Renaissance scholar Carlo Vecce writes that Leonardo's mother, Caterina, was originally from the Caucasus but was sold into slavery in Italy.

一位研究文艺复兴时期艺术家的学者称,列奥纳多·达·芬奇的母亲是被贩卖到意大利的奴隶。文艺复兴学者卡洛·维奇(Carlo Vecce)在一部新小说中戏剧化地描述了列奥纳多的母亲卡特琳娜(Caterina)的生活,她来自高加索地区,但被卖到意大利为奴。

Entitled "The Smile of Caterina, the mother of Leonardo," the book was inspired by a discovery that Vecce — a professor at the University of Naples and an expert on the Old Master — made at the State Archives in Florence in 2019 when working on the 500-year anniversary celebration of the great polymath's death. There, he stumbled across a previously unknown document he says is dated the fall fo 1452 and signed by the man known to be the master's father, which, he says, frees a slave called Caterina from her mistress, Monna Ginevra. The date, which was a few months after Leonardo was born, and fact that Leonardo's father signed it struck Vacce as proof that this woman was Leonardo's mother.

这本名为《列奥纳多母亲卡特琳娜的微笑》的书,其灵感来自于那不勒斯大学教授、古典大师研究专家维奇(Vecce)2019年在佛罗伦萨国家档案馆为这位伟大的博学者逝世500周年庆祝活动时的一项发现。在那里,他偶然发现了一份以前不为人知的文件,他说文件的日期是1452年秋天,署名的人据说是列奥纳多的父亲。他说,这份文件把一个名叫卡特琳娜的奴隶从她的女主人蒙娜·吉涅夫拉(Monna Ginevra)手中解放了出来。这个列奥纳多出生几个月后的日期,以及列奥纳多的父亲在上面签名的事实,让维奇证明了这个女人就是列奥纳多的母亲。

Two years earlier, according to the same document, Ginevra had hired Caterina out as a wet nurse to a Florentine knight. "I discovered the document about a slave named Caterina five years ago and it became an obsession for me," Vecce, professor of Italian literature at the University of Naples "L'Orientale," told CNN.

同一份文件显示,两年前,吉涅夫拉雇用卡特琳娜给一位佛罗伦萨骑士当奶妈。“五年前,我发现了一份关于一个名叫卡特琳娜的奴隶的文件,它让我着迷,”那不勒斯东方大学意大利文学教授维奇告诉美国有线电视新闻网。
