Summary/Abstract: This contribution describes the adaptation process of the anthroponym Barrabáš/Barabáš/Barabbáš in Czech versions of printed New Testament text in the Early Modern Period. Following the development in foreign sources, the Czech form changed from Barrabáš and Barabáš, inherited from the Old Czech translation tradition, to Barabbáš. The latter is the form introduced into Czech tradition by the Náměšť New Testament of 1533, it prevailed in Brethren translations from 1601 onwards and in the exile, whereas the Baroque Catholic tradition in the St. Wenceslas Bible opted for Barabáš, a form exceptional in the late pre-1620 editions.
