Irony in the Middle Ages. An Attempt to Convey Irony Through the Means of Medieval Miniature and in Particular the Manasses Chronicle

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a brief study on the medieval understanding of irony, giving examples from high and low culture in the use of irony, then focuses on satire in the visual arts during the Middle Ages and focuses on the forms of expression – grotesque, parody and their difference with irony. Based on a phraseological study on irony by Daniela Konstantinova, this distinction is achieved. After that, it turns to the 51st miniature on folio 145 of the Manasses Chronicle (Vatican copy) to reveal the presence of irony (with the heuristic potential of virtualist transcendentalism), which, upon a thorough study of medieval miniatures, may prove to be a Bulgarian contribution to medieval aesthetics.
