Despre moștenire cu vechii diortositori ai Bibliei românești
On Heritage with the Early Diorthotai of the Romanian Bible

Summary/Abstract: The article examines how the main biblical books used in Orthodox worship (the Psalter, the Gospels, and the Apostolos), translated into Romanian during the 15th and 16th centuries, underwent successive diorthoses, traces of which can still be identified in the first complete Romanian Bible (1688). During the period in which the Romanian liturgical texts were being standardized, the textual tradition of the biblical books developed into several branches before gradually achieving greater unity through the Paisian school of Neamț Monastery. As products of distinct intellectual attitudes and scholarly horizons, the Romanian versions of the biblical texts bear equal witness to the editors’ profound respect for the heritage transmitted by their predecessors, whether from a text-critical, hermeneutical, or linguistic perspective. The formation of the Romanian biblical corpus and the attitude of its diorthotai toward that corpus offer valuable insights into contemporary questions concerning cultural and spiritual heritage.
