单词 pasquin
释义

Pasquinn.

Brit. /ˈpaskwɪn/, U.S. /ˈpæskwɪn/
Forms: 1500s 1700s Pasquine, 1500s–1600s Pasquino, 1500s– Pasquin.
Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Pasquinus.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin Pasquinus, the name of a fictitious author of satirical verses (1536 or earlier) and its apparent etymon Italian Pasquino (1509 or earlier); see note below. Compare Middle French, French Pasquin , the name of a fictitious author of satirical verses (1556 or earlier), satirical writing (1558), the statue in Rome on which satirical verses were posted (1571). Compare Marforio n.Pasquino or Pasquillo was the name popularly given to the remains of an ancient marble statue (originally part of a group probably of the 3rd cent. b.c.), disinterred in Rome in the year 1501, and set up by Cardinal Oliviero Carafa at the corner of his palace, the Palazzo Orsini (now the Palazzo Braschi), near the Piazza Navona. Under his patronage, it became the annual custom on St Mark's Day to ‘restore’ temporarily and dress up this torso to represent some historical or mythological personage of antiquity; on which occasion professors and students of the newly restored classical studies were accustomed to salute Pasquin in Latin verses which were usually posted or placed on the statue. In the course of time these pasquinate or pasquinades tended to become satirical, and the term began to be applied, not only in Rome, but in other countries, to satirical compositions and lampoons, political, ecclesiastical, or personal, the anonymous authors of which often sheltered themselves under the conventional name of Pasquin. According to the anonymous author of the preface to the earliest printed collection of pasquinades in 1509 ( Carmina quae ad pasquillum fuerunt posita in anno MCCCCCIX), the name Pasquino or Pasquillo originated in that of a schoolmaster (‘literator seu magister ludi’) who lived opposite the spot where the statue was found; a later tradition given by L. Castelvetro (in Ragione d'alcune cose segnate nella canzone d'Annibal Caro (1559)) made Pasquino a caustic tailor or shoemaker; another given in the preface to Pasquillorum tomi duo (1544) calls him a barber; see further L. Morandi in Nuova Antologia (1889) 19 271–300, 755–82, D. Gnoli ‘Storia di Pasquino’ in Nuova Antologia (1890) 25 51–75, 275–96.
1. The person popularly supposed to be represented by a statue in Rome on which satirical Latin verses were annually posted in the 16th cent.; the statue itself. Hence: an imaginary person to whom anonymous lampoons were ascribed; a composer of lampoons. Now historical.
