Mažvydo Katekizmo giesmiu redakcijos XVI–XVII a. Rytu Prusijos giesmynuose
The editions of hymns from Mažvydas’ Catechism in 16th and 17th century hymnals from East Prussia

Summary/Abstract: A comparison between the hymns contained in Mažvydas’ Catechism and their counterparts in Bretkūnas’, Sengstock’s and Klein’s hymnals shows that the successive editors introduced minor corrections but (with the exception of one hymn in Klein’s collection) did not thoroughly revise the texts. Sengstock’s corrections are based, in some instances, not only on Mažvydas and Bretkūnas, but also on the 1547 Catechism. Klein was much more consistent than his predecessors in correcting imperfections in language and versification.
