Prispevek prek primerjalne analize biografskih dokumentov, nazorov, literarnih in teoloških del obravnava dva kompleksna renesančna načina za razumevanje humanističnega individuuma, kot se odražata v ...delih svetega Maksima Greka in Eneja Silvija Piccolominija. Primerjava dveh teologov, ki sta precejšen del življenja preživela v stiku z renesančno mislijo, pokaže, kako je slednja zaznamovala tudi njuna teološka sistema ter zaostrila njuno ortodoksnost v nepopuščanju tedaj aktualnemu antropocentrizmu. Obema avtorjema so skupne: osebna raba jezika (idiolekt); odprto in ustvarjalno sprejemanje tako vzhodnega kot tudi zahodnega krščanstva; nasprotovanje krivoverskim ločinam; poudarjen kristološki teocentrizem; zavedanje ogroženosti krščanskega sveta; avtobiografskost njunih del. Prav v združevanju vzhodnih in zahodnih krščanskih elementov ter v izpostavljenem in prepoznavno osebnem interpretiranju svetopisemskega sporočila je mogoče utemeljiti podobnost primerjanih nazorov. Povečana avtobiografskost njunih spisov priča o močni vezi z renesančnim humanizmom.
The author analyzes the foundations of Paul’s argument on homosexuality in Rom 1:26-27. First, he points to the categories of honor and shame functioning in the Hellenistic world, which the apostle ...refers to when he describes male and female homosexual relations moved by “degrading” and “consuming passions,” and consequently leading to “shameless acts” (Rom 1:26-27). Second, Paul relies on the natural law, which he perceives not as a cultural norm but, like some Greco-Roman and Jewish authors, as a creation order permeated with God’s insight. Third, the primary point of reference for the apostle are the Scriptures and the broadly understood Jewish tradition (Lev 18:22; 20:13; Deut 4:16-19; Ps 105:20; Jer 2:11; Wis 12–15), especially Genesis 1–3 (with particular emphasis on Gen 1:27-28). They connect homosexuality with idolatry, transgressing the order of creation and blurring the distinction between the male and the female. Gender differences serve procreation, but also building up the relationship based on mutual understanding and complementarity between a man and a woman. The apostle finds allies in Plato, Plutarch, Dio Chrysostom, Philo, Flavius Joseph, Pseudo-Phocylides and many others who also refer to the categories of honor and shame, natural law and procreation in their critique of homosexual acts.
The paper analyzes the Croatian translation of a collection of J.R.R. Tolkien’s letters to his children – the posthumously published Father Christmas Letters (1976). Situated within the theoretical ...and methodological framework of descriptive translation studies, the paper will examine specific translation strategies and tactics utilized to make the text more comprehensible and accessible to the target (child) audience, thus demonstrating that the translator, Zlatko Crnković, is first and foremost translating for children. The analysis is focused on the level of content (with special emphasis on culture-specific items) and style. By examining one of Tolkien’s “minor” works and its translation into a “minor” language, the paper aims to address underscrutinized areas within Tolkien, translation, and children’s literature studies.
U radu se nastoji prikazati dio povijesti Roma na početku 15. st., za vrijeme njihovih migracija s prostora Balkana u srednju i zapadnu Europu. Za vrijeme migriranja, odnosno naseljavanja šireg ...europskog prostora, Romi su se najčešće predstavljali kao hodočasnici, preobraćenici s islama ili vršitelji pokore. Razdoblje je to relativno tolerantnog odnosa domicilnog stanovništva prema Romima, koji su na svojim putovanjima dobivali pisma preporuke, a koja su im omogućavala slobodu kretanja na području pod vlašću vladara koji je izdao propusnicu. Jedan od vladara koji je izdavao propusnice Romima bio je i car Sigismund Luksemburški.
