Vargjet e Ovidit në veprën e Bogdanit
Verses of Ovid in the work of Bogdani

Summary/Abstract: This article investigates the presence of Ovid’s verses in the writing of Bogdani. This phenomenon manifests itself as a paraphrasing of familiar Latin verses in one of the best-known texts of early Albanian literature. This paraphrasing is interpreted as poetic hypertext, demonstrating Bogdani’s aesthetic self-awareness in exploiting the texts of a former age. The interpretation thus focuses on an investigation of the links between Bogdani and Ovid, seeking the aesthetic function of such inter-textuality.
