VEGA 1/0386/24: Carmina Seduliana: The First Slovak Translation, Edition and Critical Study to Sedulian Literary Work (2024 – 2026)

The aim of the project is to offer the first translation of Seduliu's poetry and prose to a scholary public with a theological and classical background. It is a segment of ancient works that has received almost no attention in Slovakia so far. Sedulius was probably a fifth-century Italian poet who gained such popularity specially in the Middle Ages, that he became the most widely read school author among poets. As part of the project we would like to prepare the first Slovak translation of the three poems that have survived to him, amounting to about 2,000 verses and about 2,000 lines of prose. We will create a translation of the poems according to the generally accepted rules for translation the Antique poetry to Slovak, arranged by Miloslav Okál. Subsequently, we would like to publish the entire work, accompanied by a philological study and a detailed interpretation of each of the works. In the final stage we would like to present Sedulius' Biblical Epic as a material for various disciplines of theology.
