Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The mimetic aspects of speech, the spoken word, and dialogical exchange that distinguish the miracle narratives of the first half of Erasmus’s Paraphrase on John constitute a unique implementation of Erasmus’s reader-oriented Philosophia Christi. They efficiently apply the poetics of speech that characterize the theology of Christ’s inverbation in John 1:1 to the genre of the paraphrase for the sake of imitatio. The Erasmian paraphrase reveals itself as the ideal textual medium to exploit the transformative capacities of the incarnate Word and its poetics of speech and verbal transmission in order to perform the gradual acquisition of faith in the individual reader’s mind and, by extension, in the sphere of thought and action of the imagined listeners in the paraphrase’s homiletic community. Moreover, these examples illustrate the remarkably literary notion of mimesis in Erasmus’s paraphrastic text.
