The poetry of Arab-Andalusian poets is a bridge between Eastern and Western culture. Its roots date back to the sixth century, when the first Bedouin songs resounded in the limitless areas of the Arabian desert. His echoes resounded in the poetry of Provençal troubadours. Traces of this poetry can be found in the works of Renaissance poets, including Petrarc. Elements of Andalusian poetry were also visible in the poetry of the Spanish court since the 16th century. The characteristic poetic forms still appeared in 20th century poetry – at least one of the most outstanding Spanish poets, Federico Garcia Llorca, reached for it. Its greatest prosperity was in the 10th andd 11th centuries, and among the outstanding Andalusian poets were both men and women. The main motive of this poetry was unfulfilled love, which remained the dominant element of modern European court poetry.

In Greece there are several collections of “traditional costumes”, i.e., garments with a strongly local character, which were in use up to the early 20th century. “Traditional costumes” are directly linked to Modern Greek folk culture: they were formed in its context and they are its most typical and obvious image. They have often been used as a national icon and are popular with people of all ages, who admire them and, on occasions of national celebrations and dance festivals, take pleasure and pride in dressing in replicas of them. Since they have stopped being worn many decades ago, the existing collections are a major source for their study, and they are respectfully referred to by scholars, the public and makers of replicas. The provenance of these collections—the criteria used, the persons involved, the purposes served, etc.—deeply affects the extent and the nature of our knowledge on the objects included in them. Given the inadequate information usually recorded on provenance issues, a thorough search of all potential sources with an aim to put together ‘biographies’ of collections will help to understand the collecting context of the objects and their respective historical and interpretational value.

Issue 3/2020 of Balgarski ezik is dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the birth of Prof. Lyubomir Andreychin. The first paper presents an overview of some of his contributions to the study of the grammatical categories of Bulgarian verbs, the advancement of orthography theory and the normativisation of Bulgarian spelling as well as to the history of Modern Standard Bulgarian. The study Konstantin Petkovich and Bulgarian Linguistics authored by Lilia Ilieva and Galina Nikodimova brings into focus Konstantin Petkovich’s views on Bulgarian language as reflected in the translator’s notes to his Russian translation of Franc Miklosič’s work Lautlehre der Bulgarischen Sprache, where he sketched the main features of the Bulgarian dialects, outlined the Bulga¬rian linguistic territory and provided comparisons between Bulgarian gram¬ma¬tical forms and forms in Modern Greek and Romanian. Nadka Nikolova’s paper titled Anastas Granitski’s Translation “On Commercial Writing” (1858): Introductory Notes deals with part of his 1858 translation of „Тръговско рѫководство“ (A Trade Guide) by Konstantinos Melas. The author emphasises the role of the translation in the reception of business correspondence models from the European Mediterranean on the Balkans and offers the hypothesis that these letters influenced the Bulgarian language on various levels: in terms of spelling and language features, genre specifics and terminology. Katya Charalozova deals with The Codification of Punctuation Norms in Spelling Dictionaries and Spelling Guides Published in the 1920s and studies the rules for the use of punctuation marks by analysing the state of the codification at the beginning of the 20th century as compared with contemporary codification. As a result, the author confirms the hypothesis about the continuity in the process of codification. Ruska Stancheva’s work Towards Normative Grammar presents differences between descriptive and normative grammar. The theoretical prerequisites of modern normative grammar and the principles on which the normative description is based are derived. Tatyana Aleksandrova and Zhaneta Zlateva explore A Fragment of the Process of Reconfiguration of Doublets in the Standard Bulgarian Language (Based on the Nouns Pozhetvovanie and Pozhertvuvanie; Samopozhertvovanie; Sebepozhertvovanie). The authors study the dynamics of codification and the factors determining the normative status of this group of nouns. In his paper on Semantic Characteristics of Christian Theological Terminology Bozhidar Pitev delves into the specific semantic nature of Christian theological terminology and proposes a classification and a theoretical and methodological model for its analysis. Hristiana Krasteva’s A Comparison of the Prosodic Features of the Clitic Cluster in Bulgarian Declarative and Interrogative Sentences studies the prosodic and intonational features of these sentences from a clitic cluster’s perspective.

Modern Greek statehood began to take shape with the War of Independence that broke out in 1821 and continued with varying intensity for the next years. As a result of these events, the Greeks cast of the foreign rule, which for many not only meant separation from the Ottoman Empire, but also the expulsion of Muslims living in these lands. During the uprising, about 25 000 Muslims lost their lives, and a similar number emigrated from the territory of the future Greek state. The next great exodus of Muslims from Greek lands was related to the annexation of Thessaly by the Hellenic Kingdom, which was to a larger extent spread over time. Since the region was incorporated into Greece until the beginning of the 20th century, the 40 000-strong Islamic community had virtually disappeared.

Shed Light

SummaryThis article is concerned with shedding light on two examples of influence between Horace and the Greek poets, both ancient and modern. The aim of this paper is to shed light on several parallel aspects between two of the Alcaic odes of Horace and two modern Greek lyric poems by Constantine Cavafy and Angelos Sikelianos, respectively. Subsequently, I show, within the wider framework of inter-textuality, a subtle example of the utilization and re-utilization of lyric elements that are originally ancient Greek in nature by the Latin and modern Greek poets. In my argumentation, I will rely on textual similarities, as well as on the views expressed by scholars in non-comparative contexts The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, I compare Horace’s carm. 2. 3 with Cavafy’s Ithaka. The most important points of comparison in this section are three common features: instructive tone, the epicurean tendency and the melancholic end. In the second, I compare Horace’s carm. 1. 37 with Sikelianos’ Dithyramb. The most important points of comparison in this section are three common features, namely, the connection of the Bacchic ecstasy to political issues, the connection of the Dionysiac spirit to the struggle against the national enemy and the association of Bacchic frenzy with hunting and chase.

Travel Writings

Nikos Kazantzakis is one of the most famous Greek authors of the 20th century known primarily for his novels. A significant part of Nikos Kazantzakis’s work is his travel writings. Whereas the novels of Kazantzakis are recognized as canonical Greek literature, it is difficult to pinpoint his travelogues, or Ταξιδεύοντας (Traveling) due to the ambiguity of their critical reception: assessments range from neutral or mildly negative to enthusiastic. Both critical and enthusiastic assessments usually lack in-depth analysis of poetic, thematic, compositional, and stylistic features of the Traveling cycle. This essay is an attempt at a more cogent and motivated assessment of Kazantzakis’s cycle of travel notes and his role in the development of this genre. In contrast to the general view in Greek criticism, I argue that the genre of travelogue had developed for an extended period before Traveling was published and that Kazantzakis’s predecessors and contemporaries had contributed to its development. Among them is Kazantzakis’s contemporary Kostas Ouranis whose work has aspects and features to be found in the later work of Kazantzakis as the comparative analysis of the travel notes by both authors demonstrates.
