Rhythm and Narration: The Calendar Distichs of Christopher of Mytilene and their South Slavonic Translations
Ритъм и наратив. Календарните двустишия на Христофор Митиленски и техните южнославянски преводи
Language: Bulgarian with a summary in English
Category: Medieval literature

 
   The present monograph examines the iambic calendar of the Constantinopolitan poet Christopher of Mytilene (ca. 1000 — after 1050), which consists of distichs about saints and feasts. Christopher of Mytilene’s calendar became an integral part of the Byzantine Verse Synaxarion, where each poem, placed immediately before the respective narrative, is assigned to a specific date and commemorates a celebrated saint or a feast day. The verse collection was translated twice among South Slavs in the 14th century; the Slavonic versions are known as Verse Prologue. The study focuses on the summer half of the year, that is, from March to August, and on the two essential characteristics of these short poems: the specific dodecasyllabic meter and its components, and the conveyance of abbreviated information termed here “compressed narrative”. The main conclusions are” first, rhythm is rendered on the level of the distich and in accordance with the versification system as a whole, with some exceptions; second, in the compressed narrative, Christian imagery is amplified at the expense of details of everyday Byzantine life and practices, most likely due to the monastic education of the translators. The book also offers a parallel edition of the two translations and their Greek source verses, accompanied by an index of the saints and feasts commemorated with verses.
