RENEWAL OF TRADITIONAL CRITERIA OF MULTILINGUAL UTTERANCE OF PRE-ETERNAL TRUTH IN THE RENAISSANCE PHILOSOPHY OF TRANSLATION: PERSONALIST INSPIRATION OF POST-SECULAR REFLECTION
The article establishes the post-secularist perspective of applying the topological methodjlogy, inspired by personalism, to reconstruct the horizons of the Renaissance renewal of tradition of translators’ self-definition, which were established by the Studia Humanitatis to provide the intentional interlingual communication dominant, reformulated on the trajectory of moving ad fonts as a person’s attachment to the Divine Revelation under the conditions of multilingualism, and predicted the transmission of the personhood topology, discovered by God-Breathed narratives, in the first full Scripture versions translated into English from the original languages and known as the Geneva Bible and the Boshops’ Bible.The research reveals the main stages of the Renaissance dialogue-forming substantiation of the necessity of veracious reconstructions of biblical textuality in different languages, including: Lorenzo Valla’s critical commentary on the Latin New Testament version included by St. Jerome of Stridon in the Biblia Sacra Vulgata; the review of this translated text by Erasmus of Rotterdam in сombination with his reconstructive work, intended to restore the entity of the Greek texts of the New Testament; William Tyndale’s explanation of his initiative to render The New Testament from Greek to contemporary for him (Early Modern) English.The study traces the concurrence between Erasmus’ new realization of the translation principle, appropriate for the multilingual utterance of Pre-eternal Verity as a form of God-human synergy, comprehended in such a manifestation by Philo of Alexandria, its reformulation, performed by William Tyndale, the dialogic conjunction of classical models of translating literary creative works (“word-by-word” and “sentence-by-sentence”) in the frame, inspired by such rediscoveries of the synergetic matrix of transmitting God’s Word into human languages, and the development of the Renaissance dialogic into the recognition of the irreducibility of the ultimate communicative experience.The author denotes the configuration of developing the emphasized vectors of constructing the pretexts of the English Bible versions, formed in the era of Elizabeth I, into the lines of constituting their texts where the usage of traditional poetical devices renovated on the grounds of the Renaissance Humanist aesthetics, leads to the textual structure transformation, urging to the rational comprehension of Scripture and initiating the withdrawal from the spiritual perception of God’s Revealed Truth.
