Lexical Variation in the Slavonic Thekara Texts: Semantic and Pragmatic Factors in Medieval Translation Praxis LEXICAL VARIATION IN THE SLAVONIC THEKARA TEXTS: SEMANTIC AND PRAGMATIC FACTORS IN MEDIEVAL TRANSLATION PRAXIS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tania D. Ivanova-Sullivan, MA * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Dr. Daniel E. Collins, Adviser Dr. Predrag Matejic ____________________________________ Dr. David J. Birnbaum Adviser Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures Copyright by Tania D. Ivanova-Sullivan 2005 ABSTRACT The current research focuses on semantic and pragmatic factors involved in the lexical variation in medieval translations. It is the first cross-linguistic and cross-cultural study of the different paths of semantic signification taken by the medieval Slavic translators of a Byzantine text. Therefore, it fills a gap in the field of Slavonic translation studies where semantic and pragmatic analysis of the factors of lexical variation have previously not been primary objects of study. The data for the investigation were drawn from a Slavonic translation, probably dating to the 14th-century, of an 11th-century Greek text entitled ‘Triadic Hymn with Midnight Prayer from the Dogmatics of the Holy Dionysius the Areopagite. Compilation and Composition of the Monk Thekara.’ This text, which has not been studied previously, comprises Lenten hymns and prayers for daily monastic use, based on the theology of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. I examine two Slavonic versions – one attested in ten manuscripts held in Hilandar Monastery on Mount Athos, the Czech National Museum in Prague, and the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Belgrade; and the other in a single codex from the Holy Trinity Monastery near Pljevlja, Montenegro. In the dissertation I approach the lexical variation in the Slavonic translation of the Thekara inductively, as a manifestation of the heterogenous nature of the semantic ii organization of the lexicon. Thus, I use approaches from different theoretical frameworks to interpret the data – componential analysis, lexical fields, frame-semantics, Gricean inferential analysis, and the cognitive linguistic approach to imagery. This integrative methodology is partly based on the non-unified model of lexical semantics proposed by P. Violi. The analysis of the data in these terms provides a model of best practices for approaching lexical semantics in medieval translations. The study suggests that the lexical variation in the Slavonic translation of the Thekara in its greater part is based on foregrounding mechanisms, i.e., the bringing into focus of specific semantic features, metaphorical associations and socio-cultural concepts. The study proposes that such foregrounding cannot be analyzed solely on the referential level of semantics but must include reference to the perceptual and axiological (evaluative) dimensions of meaning. iii Dedicated to my parents iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank my adviser, Daniel E. Collins (Chair, Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures, The Ohio State University), for his constant intellectual support, encouragement, and enthusiasm, all of which made this dissertation possible.

  • Manolis G. Varvounis * – Nikos Rodosthenous Religious
    Manolis G. Varvounis – Nikos Rodosthenous Religious Traditions of Mount Athos on Miraculous Icons of Panagia (The Mother of God) At the monasteries and hermitages of Mount Athos, many miraculous icons are kept and exhibited, which are honored accordingly by the monks and are offered for worship to the numerous pilgrims of the holy relics of Mount Athos.1 The pil- grims are informed about the monastic traditions of Mount Athos regarding these icons, their origin, and their miraculous action, during their visit to the monasteries and then they transfer them to the world so that they are disseminated systemati- cally and they can become common knowledge of all believers.2 In this way, the traditions regarding the miraculous icons of Mount Athos become wide-spread and are considered an essential part of religious traditions not only of the Greek people but also for other Orthodox people.3 Introduction Subsequently, we will examine certain aspects of these traditions, based on the literature, notably the recent work on the miraculous icons in the monasteries of Mount Athos, where, except for the archaeological and the historical data of these specific icons, also information on the wonders, their origin and their supernatural action over the centuries is captured.4 These are information that inspired the peo- ple accordingly and are the basis for the formation of respective traditions and re- ligious customs that define the Greek folk religiosity. Many of these traditions relate to the way each icon ended up in the monastery where is kept today. According to the archetypal core of these traditions, the icon was thrown into the sea at the time of iconoclasm from a region of Asia Minor or the Near East, in order to be saved from destruction, and miraculously arrived at the monastery.

    REACTIONS TO THE PAPAL VISIT AT THE PHANAR, CONSTINOPLE, TURKEY ON NOVEMBER 30, 2006. 1- An Open Letter To the Holy Abbots and Representatives of the Sacred Twenty Monasteries of the Mount Athos An Open Letter to the Holy Abbots and the Holy Representatives of the Sacred Twenty Monasteries in the Holy Community of the Holy Mount Athos. December 2006 Holy Abbots and Holy Fathers, Bless! We desire with this present letter to express our deepest concern and sadness for all that is happening to our Holy Orthodoxy for years now: things destructive to the teaching of the Holy Apostles and of the Holy Fathers and contrary to all the Sacred Canons enacted by the Oecumenical and local synods. We wonder if some Oecumenical synod has been assembled and has abolished the Canons which forbid joint prayer with heretics,1 or if the Pope has repented and renounced the heresies of the Filioque, of primacy, of infallibility, of unleavened bread, of the purifying fire [purgatory, trans.], of created grace, of the immaculate conception of the Most Holy Theotokos, and many others, most of which have been condemned and anathematized repeatedly by Orthodox synods and by the entirety of the Holy Fathers.2 Heaven was angered and the Holy Fathers exceedingly saddened by seeing and hearing all that took place at the Phanar at the feast of the Holy Apostle Andrew on the 30th of November of the current year—unprecedented and unheard of things in the two thousand year history of the Church: "The dogmas of the Fathers are held in contempt, the Apostolic traditions are disdained, the churches are subject to the novelties of innovators,"3 as St.

    1 THE HOLY APOSTLES PETER AND PAUL In the quiet light of the katholikon (main church) of the Karakallou Monastery on Mount Athos, a miraculous icon shines with its glow. It’s called “The Embrace” (Ὁ Ἀσπασμός), and what the prayerful contemplation sees in it is the symbolic act of togetherness. The two figures, depicted from the waist up, seizing the entire space of the icon, are embraced: the apostle Peter’s hands are almost concluded on the apostle Paul’s back, and their cheeks meet, a symbol that together they uphold the idea of the Church, that they accept to share a common destiny. A symbol, which revives pages from the story of the two apostles of Christ. The true story of Peter and Paul, in a sense, is history of the name and is associated with the metamorphosis that each of them experiences. According to the biblical tradition, after a remarkable encounter with God, the name of the person changes – a sure indication of the changed identity of that person, bearing his own name. Both Simon and Saul cannot remain with his old identity, after their lifetime intersects with that of the Savior. The way of the name for each of them, though different, is long and difficult. The one – chosen to receive the keys of the kingdom of heaven and the ability to bind and loose human destinies and to be pillar of the future church of Christ, must also experience the pain of triple denial of the Lord. The etymology of his name (“You shall be called Cephas”, John 1:42)1 is not by chance bound directly to the meaning of the rock: in order to uphold the Church, a strong support is needed, on which faith may rest.

  • The Amomos in the Byzantine Chant: a Diachronical Approach with Emphasis on Musical Settings of the 19Th and 20Th Centuries
    DOI: 10.2478/ajm-2018-0002 Artes. Journal of Musicology no. 17-18 2018 24-73 The Amomos in the Byzantine chant: a diachronical approach with emphasis th th on musical settings of the 19 and 20 centuries DIMOS PAPATZALAKIS Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Greece∗ Abstract: The book of the Psalms constitutes the main source from where the Offices of the Orthodox church draw their stable parts. It has been diachronically one of the most used liturgical books of the cathedral and the monastic rite. In this paper we focus on the Psalm 118, which is well known under the designation “Amomos”. In the first part of our study we look for the origin of the book of the Psalms generally. Afterwards we present the Offices in which the Amomos is included, starting from the Byzantine era and the use of the Amomos in the cathedral and the monastic services. Then, we negotiate the question of its use in the post-Byzantine era. In the next section we quote the most important settings of the Byzantine, post-Byzantine and new- Byzantine composers in Constantinople, Smyrna and Thessaloniki, as well as some evidence of their lives and their musical works. In the next section we introduce some polyprismatic analyses for the verses of the first stanza of the Amomos, which are set to music in 19th and 20th centuries. After some comparative musicological analyses of the microform of the compositions or interpretations, we comment on the music structure of the settings of Amomos in their liturgical context. Our study concludes with some main observations, as well as a list of the basic sources used to write this paper.

  • Byzantine Critiques of Monasticism in the Twelfth Century
    A “Truly Unmonastic Way of Life”: Byzantine Critiques of Monasticism in the Twelfth Century DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hannah Elizabeth Ewing Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Professor Timothy Gregory, Advisor Professor Anthony Kaldellis Professor Alison I. Beach Copyright by Hannah Elizabeth Ewing 2014 Abstract This dissertation examines twelfth-century Byzantine writings on monasticism and holy men to illuminate monastic critiques during this period. Drawing upon close readings of texts from a range of twelfth-century voices, it processes both highly biased literary evidence and the limited documentary evidence from the period. In contextualizing the complaints about monks and reforms suggested for monasticism, as found in the writings of the intellectual and administrative elites of the empire, both secular and ecclesiastical, this study shows how monasticism did not fit so well in the world of twelfth-century Byzantium as it did with that of the preceding centuries. This was largely on account of developments in the role and operation of the church and the rise of alternative cultural models that were more critical of traditional ascetic sanctity. This project demonstrates the extent to which twelfth-century Byzantine society and culture had changed since the monastic heyday of the tenth century and contributes toward a deeper understanding of Byzantine monasticism in an under-researched period of the institution. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my family, and most especially to my parents. iii Acknowledgments This dissertation is indebted to the assistance, advice, and support given by Anthony Kaldellis, Tim Gregory, and Alison Beach.
