Zamanja’s Translation of Hesiod’s Theogony

U radu se analizira Zamanjin prijevod Hesiodove Teogonije. Navode se okolnosti nastanka toga prijevoda, povezuje se Zamanjin odabir teksta sa značajkama vremena u kojemu je stvarao, a koje je izrazito sklono didaktičnim epovima, te se uočavaju utjecaji Zamanjina obrazovanja. Analizira se Zamanjin stav prema Hesiodu i iznose se podatci koje Zamanja navodi o grčkome pjesniku u predgovoru svojemu prijevodu. Uočavaju se glavni problemi pri prevođenju s grčkoga na latinski te se analiziraju i prikazuju Zamanjina prevoditeljska rješenja. Utvrđuju se Zamanjini uzori analizom pojedinih specifičnih leksema te analizom klauzula i njihovom usporedbom s tekstovima u bazi Musisque Deoque.In this paper Zamanja’s verse translation of Hesiod’s Theogony is analyzed and set into context. Zamanja’s choice of Hesiod relates to the characteri¬stics of the period in which the text was translated: didactic epic was a popular genre in the 18th century. The influence of Jesuit education on Zamanja’s work is shown. The relation between Zamanja and Hesiod is analyzed and the information that Zamanja gives about Hesiod in the introduction to his translation is presented. The main problems of translating from Greek into Latin like particles and compounds are discussed, together with an analysis of Zamanja’s approach and translation technique. The authors try to determine who were Zamanja’s role models in composing the Latin text by analyzing specific words, especially those unwarranted by the original, and clausulae. These are compared to the sources available in digital archives of Latin texts, mainly Musisque Deoque
