Charles Bertram

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Charles_Bertram an entity of type: Thing

Charles Julius Bertram (1723–1765) was an English expatriate in Denmark who "discovered"—and presumably wrote—The Description of Britain (Latin: De Situ Britanniae), an 18th-century literary forgery purporting to be a mediaeval work on history that remained undetected for over a century. In that time, it was highly influential for the reconstruction of the history of Roman Britain and contemporary Scotland, to the extent of appearing in Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and being used to direct William Roy's initial Ordnance Survey maps. Bertram "discovered" the manuscript around the age of 24 and spent the rest of his life a successful academic and author. Scholars contested various aspects of the Description, but it was not recognized as an unquestionable forgery until 1846. rdf:langString

チャールズ・バートラム（Charles Julius Bertram、1723年 - 1765年1月8日）は、デンマークに在住したイギリスの人物。イギリスの歴史に関する偽書 "Description of Britain" (ラテン語のタイトル: De Situ Britanniae)を「発見」したと称した人物で、おそらく自ら偽造した人物である。この偽書は古代ローマ属州地域のイギリス(ブリタンニア)およびスコットランドの歴史の研究者に影響を与えた。エドワード・ギボンの『ローマ帝国衰亡史』やイギリス最初の地理調査(Ordnance Survey)を行ったウィリアム・ロイ(William Roy)の地図にも影響を及ぼした。バートラムは24歳の時にこの文書を「発見」したと称し、その後は学者として成功した生涯をおくった。1846年になるまで、この文書が偽書であると認識されなかった。 rdf:langString

Come autore ebbe in vita scarsa notorietà, dal momento che la scoperta della falsificazione è successiva alla sua morte di oltre un secolo. rdf:langString
