Adapting Glosses in the Late Church Slavonic Translations from Greek
The article discusses the late Church Slavonic translations from Greek (XVI-XVII centuries), made by monks Silouan, Maxim the Greek, Epiphanus Slavinetskiy and Euthymius Chudovsky. A common feature of these translations is the presence in the text of the vernacular marginalia, i.e. auxiliary lexical regionalisms. They represent a special case of what in modern translation theory is called domestication, i.e. the adaptation of the translated text to the cultural values of the target language. In the considered texts, this type of marginalia receives an additional functional loading as a lexical means of correlating Church Slavonic and so-called common (‘prostoj') language.
