    Annotazioni sul testo del Salmo 17
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2021) Bazyliński, Stanisław
    On the basis of the Hebrew manuscripts and other ancient textual witnesses, this article singles out and discusses many text-critical and translational issues regarding Psalm 17, dwelling particularly upon vv.11 and 14. For v.11, the author accepts the conjectural reading אִשְּׁרוּנִי עתַָּה סְבָבוּנִ י, “they have advanced/moved against me, now, they have encircled me”. For v.14, the author gives preference to the qere וּצְפוּנְךָ with the collective meaning: “and your protected ones”.

    La simbolica dello straniero nel Salterio
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2024) Bazyliński, Stanisław
    Who is a foreigner in the Hebrew Psalter? The article answers this question in two sections. First, seven terms referring to “foreigner” are examined to determine their individual characteristicsin the Psalms and their correspondence to biblical texts outside the Psalter. Second, other literary motifs are analyzed in a cursory reading of Psalms 105, 106 and 137. The Psalter outlines a partial picture of the foreigner, which is subordinated to theological and symbolic issues. The Psalms primarily recall the adventures of Israel, which had to frequently change its place of residence for various reasons. As a foreigner, deprived of land and permanent residence, he experienced the ups and downs of migrant life and ultimately strove to integrate into a new socio-cultural environment. Defending one’s identity and maintaining national and religious integrity is portrayed as a difficult process, at risk. Another type of foreigner in the Psalms is the non-Jew, individually or communally, who enjoys the social and legal protection to which the poor are entitled. Either he is a well-integrated member of society, or he remains unassimilated. In the latter case, his false words, harmful actions and physical hostility toward Israel come to the fore. Finally, in the Book of Psalms, terms associated with “foreigner” are part of figurative language. The vocabulary sometimes either evokes non-literal associations with foreign countries, nations and foreign gods, or denotes an emotional state of suffering and isolation. Moreover, key lexemes symbolize the transitory human condition, emphasizing the marginalization and even segregation of the petitioner from the household.

    Salmo 116 - preghiera di un malato?
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020) Bazyliński, Stanisław
    Questo articolo tratta del presunto avvenimento che diede origine al Salmo 116 e suggerisce che una malattia seria dell’orante ne rappresenti la griglia interpretativa più adeguata. Questa ipotesi è sviluppata in tre tappe. In primo luogo, viene affrontata sia l’analisi del problematico versetto 3 sia altre espressioni. Questa analisi chiarisce che non ci sono ostacoli contro la suddetta ipotesi. Conclusa questa tappa si passa a considerare l’intero Salmo 116 per collocarne gli elementi problematici in un contesto più ampio e illuminare quei dettagli tralasciati in favore delle interpretazioni che privilegiavano quella della malattia. Infine, il vocabolario e i motivi letterari del Salmo vengono comparati ad altri testi anticotestamentari che trattano della malattia, per corroborare la validità delle proposte qui presentate.
