摘要
The fourteenth-century Florentine vernacular translation of Robert de Boron's Merlin reinterprets Merlin as a political prophet commenting on recent events from Italian history. As such, the moral ambiguity surrounding the notion of Merlin's devil father-who is deployed by Robert as an illustration of the text's religious ideology-is questioned by the Italian translator, who reinterprets the diabolic in such a way as to reduce its power and autonomy within the narrative.
