STUDIES IN THE BYELORUSSIAN TRANSLATIONS OF THE BIBLE
by Moshe Altbauer
The
Byelorussian translation from the Hebrew of nine books
of the Bible, dating from the late 15th or early 16th
century, preserved in manuscript Codex 262...offers
much interesting material for the history of
Byelorussian lexocology, and of East Slavonic lexicology
in general. It is the purpose of the present
article to provide a few examples of this form in
a comparative context...
... it is to be hoped that the concordance of these texts,
which is in the course of preparation by the present
writer, as an appendix to the Codex 262 which is
to be published in the near future by the Israeli Academy
of Sciences, will contribute to the extension of
our knowledge of the vocabulary of Byelorussian...in
the 15-16th centuries.
