La dimensione artistica e cosmologica della Mishneh Torah/Bibliografia

Mishneh Torah copiata in Spagna e con miniature di Perugia, c. 1400

Oggi, a distanza, ti ho vista
Allontanarti, e silenziosamente
La parete luminosa di un ghiacciaio
È scivolata in mare.
Un’antica quercia
Si è abbattuta nel bosco,
Trattenendo solo
Una manciata di foglie,
E una vecchia donna
Sognando giovinezza,
Ha guardato da seduta
In cielo per un istante.
Dall’altra parte
Della galassia,
Una stella trenta volte
Più grande del nostro sole,
È esplosa
E scomparsa, lasciando
Un minuscolo punto verde
Sulla retina dell’astronomo
Mentre è rimasto immobile
Nella grande cupola aperta
Del mio cuore –
Senza poter dirlo a nessuno.

—Daubmir, "Il Cosmo dentro"*

"Il Cosmo dentro" di Daubmir — Immagine: Galassie Antenne

Fonti primarie

Nel presente wikibook si sono utilizzate edizioni in (EN) di opere in altre lingue, e le rispettive citazioni sono prese da tali edizioni, se non specificato altrimenti - e tradotte in (IT) da Monozigote. Altre traduzioni che non sono elencate qui sotto, vengono citate ove appropriato.

Nel caso della Mishneh Torah, certe traduzioni sono state modificate. Ciò è stato fatto senza commento, ove una versione più letterale era richiesta per chiarire un dato punto, ed in casi di leggero disaccordo col traduttore. Variazioni più consistenti vengono discusse nelle note. ___________________________

*NOTE: La poesia di Daubmir a fianco dell'immagine, "Il Cosmo dentro" ("The Cosmos in me"), è bilingue — questa la versione in (EN):

Today, from a distance, I saw you
walking away, and without a sound
the glittering face of a glacier
slid into the sea. An ancient oak
fell in the woods, holding only
a handful of leaves, and an old woman
dreaming of youth in her chair looked up
for an instant. At the other side
of the galaxy, a star thirty times
the size of our own sun exploded
and vanished, leaving a small green spot
on the astronomer's retina
as he stood on the great open dome
of my heart with no one to tell.
