Am încercat, în articolul de față, să evocăm câteva momente de răscruce survenite în reprezentarea morții medievale şi să încercăm să stabilim astfel măsura în care mutațiile importante la nivelul reprezentării au pornit de la, au interferat cu, au fost frânate sau stimulate de preceptele şi dogmele creştine. Cum era şi firesc, am insistat pe transformările produse în reprezentarea morții de dogma învierii trupului şi, pentru a nu trunchia explicația mai mult decât era necesar, am fost nevoiți să ne aventurăm pe trasee filozofice şi teologice plasate în aval de această importantă modificare de perspectivă în raportarea la realitățile veşnice. Am arătat, de asemenea, importanța plasării fără rest în termenii unui anumit sistem (în speță cel creştin) şi, astfel, importanța absolut ornamentală (sau instrumentală) a unor practici străvechi regăsite, fireşte, în conținutul oricărui gest, temă, practică sau imagine funerară medievală; ne-am explicat observațiile prin grija oamenilor tuturor timpurilor de a muri coerent invocând termenii sistemului ales ca fiind unicul valabil, prezervându-şi, în acest fel, coerența morții proprii. Am punctat şi explicat câteva fisuri survenite în strategia generală a Bisericii de a obține monopolul asupra morții, iar în ultima secțiune am încercat să arătăm felul în care coexistența a două perspective opuse asupra morții nu putea fi rezolvată rezonabil decât dacă o înscriam în linia de interpretare proprie istoriei reprezentărilor (şi nu a mentalităților); am văzut, astfel, cum cele două perspective nu țineau neapărat de un registru ambiguu al Bisericii şi nici de o raportare confuză la moarte a oamenilor timpului, ci, mai degrabă, de un registru negociat la nivelul practicilor sociale.

Formation of Georgian literature in early Middle Ages (5th century) is entirely connected with the Christian culture. It is a period, when Georgia with its literature joins the common European current of Christian literature. Nevertheless, Georgian literature, as well as the country itself, is located at the unique place of meeting the Western and the Eastern civilizations, and all kinds of “magic” is possible here! It is naïve to assert that Georgian literature equally shares the Eastern Asian and the Western European literary principles. It is favorable towards the first as well as the second literary model, but by its essence it is a Christian literature, from the very beginning oriented on the Western canon and inwardly constantly looking to the East. Its closeness to the Eastern literary tastes at various times and periods was caused by external factors: a) the geographical location; b) historical events (political and economic requirements); c) literary tendencies which affected the Western literary world.

The article is devoted to the scientific heritage of Jan Kvačala (1862-1934) on the history of religion. Kvačala’s professional activities cover several fields of knowledge, but he was mainly a historian. He is known for his research on the lives of such personalities as Jan Amos Comenius and Jan Hus. In 1885 Jan Kvačala received his doctorate in philosophy from his dissertation on Jan Amos Comenius. Kvačala began his lecturing and research activities in 1886 as a doctor of philosophy at the University of Leipzig. Since 1893, he has been a Doctor of Theology at the University of Vienna. In 1893, he began to teach at the University of Dorpat (Tartu). Up to 1918 he taught such disciplines as the history of the church, dogmatics, symbolism, philosophy and led a historical seminar. In the same year, he held the post of Dean of the Faculty of Theology and headed the transfer of the Faculty from Tartu to Voronezh, where the University was evacuated due to the events of the First World War. After working until 1920, he returned to Slovakia. There he became a professor at Bratislava High School of Theology. After the end of the contract, Jan Rodomil Kvačala moved to Vienna, where he died on June 9, 1934. Jan Kvačala’s research during his work at the University of Tartu was aimed, on the one hand, at studying the ideas of Jan Hus in the context of religious processes from the 13th-14th centuries, and on the other hand, at the importance of his contribution for national history.

est of literary historians: the Slavic roots of Romanian literature. To what extent have the texts written in the Slavonic language exerted modeling pressures—in terms of formulation, literary species and genres practiced—on the old Romanian literature? Can cultural bilingualism be referred to as a factor of evolution or, on the contrary, as a factor of stagnation in old Romanian literature?

The article is an attempt to characterize linguistic and cultural relations between three translations of Dialogus Salomonis et Marcolfi from Latin into vernacular languages: Polish, Italian and English. Comparative analysis of the three translations confirms that in the cultural contexts examined, despite some discrepancies concerning the explicitness of language and images, there is the same model of comedy, based on obscene elements. The analysis aims to determine the nature and substrate of differences occurring between texts in terms of the obscene comic, as well as the extent to which various local colours were adopted in the translation process.

Sono passati ormai molti mesi dalla scomparsa di Fiorella Simoni, avvenuta il 12 agosto 2008, e giunta purtroppo tutt’altro che inattesa a causa della lunga malattia che ne aveva invaso il corpo; eppure il senso di vuoto da lei lasciato presso coloro che l’hanno conosciuta invece di diminuire continua a crescere.
