O analiză preliminară asupra situației inseratelor biblice în Filocalia de la Neamț (ms. nr. 1455 BAR)
A preliminary analysis on the situation of biblical quotes in the Neamţ Philokalia (Ms. 1455 BAR)

Summary/Abstract: The Philokalia is one of a series of books that contributed to the success of the movement to return Orthodoxy to the patristic sources, a fact proven by its wide distribution in the Orthodox world. Thus, in the 18th century, the first versions of the ‟Philokalia” were printed in Greek and Slavonic and the first translation of the Philokalic text into Romanian was also initiated. This is the ‟Philokalia of Neamţ (Monastery)” (Romanian ms. 1455 BAR), a Romanian version dating from the 18th century, unstudied and unknown to the general public. Little is known in the literature about the contribution of Romanian scholars to the project of a ‟Romanian Philokalia” and even less about the patristic and biblical sources used in the translation. This paper aims to analyse the biblical quotations in Romanian ms. no. 1455 BAR on the basis of the following criteria: the language from which they were translated, the form of the proper names of the biblical characters invoked, the degree of stylization (paraphrase, quotation, allusion) and the possible sources of the Romanian version of the biblical quotations. Related to this, we aim to clarify, as far as possible, issues related to the circulation of the Romanian biblical versions at the Neamţ Monastery and their use within this school of translators.
