Abstract:
This book presents a critical edition and study of the modern Greek version of the Oriental collection of fables known by the name of two of its protagonists, Estefanita and Icnelates, and is none other than the Greek version of Kalila and Dimna. The Eastern fables, which were so widely circulated during the Middle Ages, came into most European vernacular languages mainly via Simeon Seth's Byzantine recension (11th century), which, in turn, had been translated from Arabic. The interest and importance of the text lies in the fact that it offers students a fundamental testimony with which to delve into the history of the modern-Greek language as an instrument of literary expression of the Greeks in the Ottoman world. The version or metaphrase of this collection of fables, written by Theodosius Zigomalas in Constantinople in the late sixteenth century, also represents the most significant effort to fix the more colloquial register of the language despite the strong tradition of using the archaic register for written language. Moreover, the rigorous work by the author of the edition offers insights into the intellectual backdrop to attempts to renew orthodoxy in the Greek-speaking lands of Islam through relationships between Zigomalas and the Central European humanists of the time.
