On ‘hanging meaning’ and its transmission. Tracing a didactic poem from Aceh
Drawing on a case study of an Arabic poem and two versions of its interlinear Malay translation, the paper speculates on the involvement of oral practices in the transmission of interlinear texts. The translations are found in two manuscripts from Aceh (EAP329/1/11, Endangered Archives, 18th c., and...

Les traductions proviennent de deux manuscrits d’Aceh (EAP329/1/11, Endangered Archives, XVIIIe siècle, et ML 341, Jakarta, fin XIXe siècle), entre les lignes d’un vers didactique traitant des devoirs d’un bon étudiant musulman. Alors que le texte arabe du poème semble avoir été reproduit par copie d’une source écrite, l’histoire de la transmission de ses traductions en malais paraît plus compliquée. La juxtaposition des deux versions de traduction interlinéaire révèle qu’elles sont trop similaires pour être sans rapport et, en même temps, trop différentes pour que les différences résultent d’une corruption dans le processus de recopie. L’article suggère que le texte interlinéaire des manuscrits étudiés a connu une transmission à la fois écrite et orale, probablement dans le cadre d’une classe, avec un enseignant dictant la traduction en examinant une copie écrite, mais se sentant libre de la modifier ou de la compléter légèrement pendant la dictée. |
