The word denotes a triple stroke, in which the Earth is stamped three times with the foot.Tripudium. Joyce does not italicize the word, treating it as an English borrowing. Tiens, quel petit pied!5(French) My, what a small foot!Gifford (1988) 64. diebus ac noctibus iniurias patiens ingemiscit.5(Latin) days and nights it [Creation] sighs patiently over injustices. Gifford Don Seidman Robert J. Ulysses Annotated University of California Press 1988 64 Thornton Weldon Allusions in Ulysses University of North Carolina Press 1968 65 A quotation from the Commentary on the Epistle of Blessed Paul to the Romans, long attributed to Saint Ambrose but now ascribed to a contemporary of his styled Ambrosiaster. The comment is to Romans 8:22, For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now,Bible GatewayIn Epistolam Beati Pauli Ad Romanos Paul's συστεναζει (sustenazei) means both sighs together and groans together. Saint Jerome's Latin translation ingemiscit also carries both meanings, sighs and groans.Strong's Greek. When read in context, however, Paul's point is that all of creation has been groaning, as though in the pangs of childbirth, right up to the present time. Thornton suggests that Joyce probably came across the comment "in some choir manual or sodality manual." Marsh's Library, however, has a copy of the complete works of St Ambrose (Basle, 1506), which includes the commentary on Romans.Omnia opera; Ambrosius episcopi Mediolanensis, F. Conradus Leontorius (editor), Basle (1506).In Epistolam Ad Romanos. References Annotations to James Joyce's UlyssesPreceding Page | Page Index | Next Page
