Świetliste szczeliny niebios Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski, gwiazdy i „etruski poeta”

The paper tries to display the links between a catalogue of metaphors contained in Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski’s handbook entitled Characteres lyrici, seu Horatius et Pindarus and Giambattista Marino’s Canzone delle stelle. Based upon his college lectures (Połock 1626/1627), Sarbiewski’s work offers practical rules for the composition of lyrical poetry and some theoretical considerations. Among many “ornaments related to the lyrical invention”, a very important stylistic device mentioned by the Jesuit poet and theorist is a “definition by accumulation”(definitio conglobata), that is, a series of extended metaphors or other figurative expressions, for example periphrasis, metonymy or allegory. This rhetorical strategy serves as a useful instrument in reintegrating the art of invention with amplification aimed particularly at the accumulation of different words or figures. As the “ornament of the lyric invention”, the definition described by the author appears no to be restricted only to effective searching for ideas and concepts; it is also a valuable tool for achieving unusual power of expression and for exercising composition and style.
Sarbiewski quotes an example concerning the stars, taken, as he says, from „a contemporary Etrurian poet”. In his commentary to the edition of Characteres lyrici, Stanisław Skimina identified this poet as Dante, which was subsequently taken for granted by many scholars. Recently, the poet in question has been proved to be Giambattista Marino, famous for his style characterized by many extravagant conceits, excessive figures, and other complicated rhetorical patterns. The authors analyze Sarbiewski’s catalogue in the context of Canzone delle stelle, dealing with the way the Polish poet understands and changes the original. While translating Marino’s poem into Latin and listing metaphorical “definitions”of stars, he retained freedom of creative interpretation. For this reason, in his catalogue one may find far-reaching textual changes, for example misreading of words, omission of some figures or simplification of meanings.</jats:p
Response to Maciej Witek
No full textAuthor of "Truth of analytic statements in a radically empiricist theory of meaning" answers to a critical essay written by Maciej Witek. He clarifies the metaphysical assumptions and implications of proposed conception, dealing with such issues as: sense/reference distinction; methodological versus realistic approach to theory of meaning; inferential/causal relations among meaningful items; mental aspect of meanings. Next, he makes explicit a view on the concept of truth to which this theory is committed. In addition, he formulates ways of sociolinguistic operationalization of concepts of 'platitude' and 'meaning'

Living in Bab Tuma: Two Texts in Damascene Arabic
No full textDamascene Arabic belongs to the group of Syro-Palestinian dialects. The following presents two texts in this dialect that were recorded in 2008 in Damascus, and found a few years later among other recordings from Syria from that period.

The first of them tells of Palm Sunday, as well as Easter holidays in Damascus, while the second is a fairly loose story about spending time with her sick friend

Czym jest dziś czytanie literatury? Ankieta
No full textMaciej Świerkocki notes that reading was and still is an exclusive and intellectual
activity, an important part of education of a pragmatic society oriented on the acquisition
of information. The author points out that reading is like slow food, as it is
associated with slowness and contemplation, today — with the world of creation
rather than mimetism. He links the postmodernisation of reading with postmodernisation
of literature

Den ryska översättningen av Maciej Stryjkowskis Kronika Polska : en del av den ryska kröniketraditionen?
No full textThe Russian translation of Maciej Stryjkowski’s Kronika Polska: a part of the Russian chronicle tradition? This is a study of selected chapters from the late 17th-century Russian translation of Maciej Stryjkowski’s Kronika Polska, Litewska, Żmódska i wszystkiej Rusi from 1582. The author used old Russian chronicles as sources for the chapters about Kievan Rus’, and in this paper, the translated text is compared to original Russian chronicles to determine if there are linguistic as well as thematic similarities between them. One syntactic construction and three lexical formulae, found in the translation, are compared with the Polish original, on the one hand, and with different Russian chronicles, on the other. A certain degree of influence from the chronicles can indeed be found
