Abstract

V originále

Gaius Vettius Aquilinus Iuvencus, a Christian priest of Hispanic origin, is an author of the first biblical epic known as Evangeliorum libri quattuor. Living during the reign of Constantine the Great, he tried to ensure that Christianity would be emancipated in the field of literature the same as it was in the field of politics. Therefore, he paraphrased the Gospel story of Jesus Christ in dactylic hexameters imitating Virgil who was then regarded as the greatest Roman poet. The point of our presentation will be to analyze the process of versification and describe the changes which the original text underwent with regard to its form and content.

In Czech

Iuvencus je autorom prvého biblického eposu, ktorý je známy pod menom Evangeliorum libri quattuor. Žijúc za vlády Konštantína Veľkého pokúsil sa tak o zrovnoprávnenie kresťanstva na poli literatúry. Prevedením evanjelia do daktylského hexametra sa rozhodol napodobniť Vergília, ktorého toho času považovali za najväčšieho spomedzi rímskych básnikov. Cieľom tohto príspevku je preskúmať jeho veršotepeckú techniku a opísať zmeny, ku ktorým došlo pri prebásnení biblického textu, a to na príklade podobenstva o poslednom súde.
