Veel kord mõistetest “kuulsus” ja “au” (kujutavkunsti ainese põhjal)
Once more on the concepts “glory” and “honour” (on the basis of plastic arts)

Summary/Abstract: In 1967–71, there was a discussion between J. M. Lotman and A. A. Zimin about the meaning of the concepts “honour” and “glory” – first in old Russian literary texts, and later in the medieval chivalric culture at all. These concepts were taken by A. A. Zimin as a simple fixed figure of speech, J. M. Lotman saw a semiotic opposition in them. J. M. Lotman’s view is supported by a monument of plastic arts, the allegorical funerary relief of Gaius Julius Zoilos. On the left side, the deceased is depicted as surrounded by universal “glory”, on the opposite right side, as in the sphere of local “honour”.
