THE CZECH FIRST PRINTED PSALTER OF 1487 AND THE PSALTER OF F. SKORINA (1517) AD GLORIAM VENERATIONEMQUE DEI

Abstract

The article establishes a textological correlation between the Czech First Printed Psalter of 1487 and the Psalter of F. Skorina (1517). Following the example of his predecessors — the Prague printers of the late 15th century (the printer of the Psalter and the printer of Prague Bible), F. Skorina used the wide-known stereotypical expression, rooted in the Medieval literary tradition, where the abovementioned construction was also used in the author’s dedication. The colophon and the foreword to the Incunabula from the year 1487 affected the language, composition and content of F. Skorina’s foreword.
