英语词汇pamphlet的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

pamphlet. Pamphilus, seu de Amore was the title of an erotic love poem of the 12th century; nothing is known about its au- thor Pamphilus except his name in the title. No more than a few pages in length, the Latin verses became very popular dur- ing the Middle Ages, the best-known love poem of their time. Just as the small book containing Aesop’s Fables came to be fa- miliarly called Esopet in French, the little poem became known as Pamphilet, the English spelling this Pamflet, and eventually Pamphlet. By the 14th century any small booklet was called a pamphlet and within another 300 years the word had acquired its sense of “a small polemical brochure,” the transition com- pleted from sensuous love poem to political tract. Generally, a pamphlet is defined as a paperbound or unbound booklet of less than 100 pages.
