St. Jerome and the horns of Moses: Do not judge hastily
No full textThis article addresses the issue of translation quality and translation errors. The aim of the study is to show that when translating certain types of text, one should be cautious about speaking of “elementary translation errors” because they may be interpretations or dogmatic requirements. Discussed is the widespread view that the horns of Moses in Exodus 34:29-30 and 34:35 in the Vulgate are the result of an “elementary” translation error by St. Jerome who “confused” the Hebrew words keren “horn” and its derivative karan “shining, emitting light.” The author supports the view that this is not a translation error, but a conscious translation decision by Jerome, who was aware of the two possible interpretations of the Hebrew text, but deliberately departed from the Hebrew tradition and the Septuagint translation, choosing the literal translation based on certain theological considerations and personal views

Get PDFThe article examines pending and relative ineffectiveness of contracts in the case of Art. 76 of the Inheritance Act, Art. 26 of the Family Code and Art. 42 of the Obligations and Contracts Act as treated in interpretative decisions No. 1 of 19.5.2004, No. 5 of 29.12.2014 and No. 5 of 12.12.2016 of the Supreme Cassation Court. The concept and types of ineffectiveness are analyzed, as well as the specific issues of the situations discussed. It is concluded that Art. 76 IA provides for a resolutive condition combined with relative ineffectiveness, Art. 24, para. 4 and Art. 26 FC – contestability, which is different from relative ineffectiveness, and Art. 42 of the Obligations and Contracts Act – pending ineffectiveness, but in the absence of confirmation the possibility the contract to become effective is finally lost, and any interested person can invoke it
Counter Class and Counter Identity: Confrontations of Power in Tony Harrison's Poetry
No full textTony Harrison is a contemporary British author whose poetry is highly influential in encountering the issue of identity and class struggles. As a working-class student, Harrison was subject to prejudice and discrimination for his working-class accent. This paper investigates two of his highly admired poems, “On Not Being Milton†and “Them & uz†from a cultural standpoint, mainly concentrated on John Fiske’s theory of power and language. The role of language in the context of his poems is probed. The multiaccentuality of language is represented in his poetry and these two poems become the site of struggle for the imperialising and the localising power. It is intended to illuminate the sought space of identity which Harrison is constantly referring to as a member of the English working-class society. Lastly, the social and personal relationship between Harrison and Milton has been explored positing Harrison in a transcendental context in his relationship with Milton
