Ağaçlar, Bağırsaklar ve Fatih William

Kurucu rüyalar ortaçağ kroniklerinde cihanşümûl bir gelenek olmalarına rağmen yeterince dikkate alınmamıştır. Bu makale, bir kurucu rüya olarak Fatih William’ın annesinin rüyasının ilk olarak Malmesburyli William tarafından kaydedildiğini ortaya koyacaktır. Bu rüyanın kurgulanmasında Malmesburyli William klasiklerden ve Yunanlılardan gelen rüya tabiri geleneğinden etkilenmiştir. Daha sonra, Wace ve Benoit bu rüyayı 12. yüzyıl ortalama Avrupalısının anlayabileceği şekilde yeniden yazmışlardır. Bu makale iddiasını rüya tabiri kaynakları, özellikle Artemidorus, ve Jesse Ağacı başta olmak üzere Ortaçağ Avrupasının kültürel figürleri ile destekleyecektir. Bu Herleva’nın rüyasının nasıl oluşturulup değiştirildiğine dair muhtemel bir senaryodur.

Trees, Intestines and William The Conqueror

Although founding dreams are a worldwide tradition in the chronicles of the Middle Ages, they have not taken attention enough. This article shows that, as a founding dream, the dream of William the Conqueror’s mother is fi rstly crated by William of Malmesbury infl uenced by Classics and the dream interpretation tradition coming through Greeks. Later, Wace and Benoit, by preserving its frame, rewrite the dream in a way of which is more understandable to the twelfth century European common man. This article will uncover evidences through dream interpretation sources, mainly Artemidorus, and medieval European cultural fi gures, mainly Tree of Jesse. This is a possible scenario for how the dream of Herleva was created and developed.
