Escatologia, Wulfstan, Lista allitterante

Abstract

Intorno all'anno 1000, l'Inghilterra attraversa una crisi tale da alimentare quasi sicuramente le ansie apocalittiche. Questa preoccupazione diventa evidente negli scritti di tanti predicatori vernacolari, e gioca un ruolo chiave nei sermoni escatologici dell'Arcivescovo Wulfstan. Concentrandosi sul suo uso della lista dei peccatori, questo articolo illustra l'evoluzione dell'escatologia di Wulfstan durante la sua carriera, escatologia che da convinzione ideologica diventa strumento retorico. In particolare, intendo concentrarmi su come il catalogo allitterante, che appare per la prima volta in De Fide Catholica (Bethurum no. 7, p. 163 e vv. 128-34), viene poi rielaborato non solo nella versione più lunga del Sermo Lupi ad Anglos (Bethurum no. 20, p. 273 e vv. 161-6) ma anche negli scritti legali e politici di Wulfstan (nel qual caso la lista descrive i peccatori terreni, cioè i criminali veri e propri). Il modo in cui il catalogo viene riformulato segnala un cambiamento nel tono escatologico di Wulfstan, che è sempre presente ma perde la sua immediatezza con il passare degli anni, con l’avanzare della sua carriera e con lo scemare delle invasioni vichinghe.
