Course objectives
The course reviews the development of biblical translation into Czech in the 14th to 18th centuries. Its main aim is to familiarise the students with the nature of the Czech Bible as it developed throughout the centuries, from the oldest medieval translations up to the Baroque Bible. The course will be focused primarily on analysing the language of specific editions of the Bible – in all planes of description. At the end of the course, students will know the primary literature of the field, understand the circumstances in which the individual biblical translations were created and be able to interpret them in terms of language development.
Learning outcomes
Having participated in the course, students will be able:
to characterize development of Czech biblical translation in the 14th to 18th centuries;
to get orientation in relevant scholarly sources;
to interpret individual biblical translations in terms of language development;
to write a seminar paper on a topic relating to development of Czech biblical translations.
