HOW TO SPEAK IN MULTIPLE VOICES: STRATEGIES OF SPEECH AUTORIZATION IN THE RECEPTION OF REVELATIONES BIRGITTA’S OF SWEDEN

The study discusses the issue of authorization methods for the Western European medieval religious tradition, presented in manuscript collections of religious literature. The tradition can be represented most representatively in collections of various texts, united by a common intention and sphere of functioning (for example, within the framework of one monastic order). On the example of a collection of religious texts dedicated to the approbation of the Revelationes St. Birgitta's of Sweden and translated from Church Latin into Early New High German in the Manuscript F. 955 op. 2 No. 57, National Library of Russia (c. 1500), the article describes the nature of the interaction of the official church discourse of the 14th–15th centuries and Brigitte’s visionary discourse, which went through several stages of editorial processing.
