- Petro Čiževskio "Alfurkan Tatarski" (Wilno, 1616/1617): teksto autorystė
LTStraipsnyje nagrinėjamos Petro Čiževskio antitotoriško pamfleto „Alfurkan tatarski“ (Wilno, 1616/1617) tekstologinės charakteristikos, rodančios teksto kompiliacinį pobūdį. Kompiliacija aiškinama teksto fragmentų skolinimusi iš ankstesnio Motiejus Čiževskio „Alkorano“ (1616 m.) leidimo. Pastarojo žinomas tik ilgas pavadinimas, kuris lyginamas su vėlesnio leidimo tekstu. Abiejų autorių pavardės tradiciškai laikomos nežinomo asmens pseudonimais. Tačiau vien tik vieno leidimo teksto skolinimosi kitam pobūdis, lydimas reikšmingo bendros struktūros pertvarkymo, leidžia daryti prielaidą, kad leidinių autorius yra ne tas pats asmuo. Kadangi Motiejus ir Petras Čiževskiai savo publikacijose vienas kitą įvardija broliais ir mini vienas kito kūrinius, tad juos, priešingai nei teigia nusistovėjusi tradicija, verta laikyti tikraisiais atitinkamų publikacijų autoriais, o ne prisidengusiais išgalvotais pseudonimais. Raktiniai žodžiai: Lietuvos Didžioji Kunigaikštystė, poleminė literatūra, spaudiniai, Lietuvos totoriai, Petras Čiževskis, tekstinė kritika, autorystė. [Iš leidinio]
ENThe article focuses on the textual characteristics of the Polish anti-Tatar pamphlet “Alfurkan tatarski” written by Piotr Czyżewski (Wilno, 1616/1617) and reveals its text being a compilation. There are at least four different indications for this. They were a result of borrowing certain textual fragments from Matiasz Czyżewskis earlier edition “Alkoran” (1616), which is considered lost. However, its long title describing the contents survives and can be safely compared to the extant text of Piotr Czyżewskis “Alfurkan tatarski”. This comparison reveals thematic similarities between the two editions accompanied by identical wording which must be viewed as result of textual borrowing from the earlier edition into the later one. This collaborates well with A. Brückners comparison of the two editions (both were available to him in the early 20th century) which were reported to contain partially the same textual material. Traditionally the names of both authors are treated as pseudonyms of an unknown person who was recently identified with Józef Karcan (the printer of Piotr Czyżewskis first edition of “Alfurkan tatarski”) or, alternatively, with Tomasz Pawłowski (the abbot of the Benedictine monastery in Old Trakai in ca 1597 - ca 1617).Nevertheless, the very nature of the revealed textual borrowings, accompanied by a significant rearrangement of the general structure, suggests that both editions have different authors. Since Matiasz and Piotr Czyżewski in their publications call themselves brothers and mention each others editions, they, contrary to the established tradition, must be considered the actual authors of the respective printed books, and not fictitious pseudonyms.
