This article presents a paleographic study proposal of a manuscript whose intellectual authorship is attributed to Priest Antonio Vieira. It refers to a signed letter that the priest sent to Prince Theodozius, the firstborn son of Dom Joao IV, advicing and giving him instructions to increase his royal happiness. Paleography addresses the study of writing in manuscripts, deciphering scriptures, reveals the formation and evolution of graphic systems verbal representation, analyzes the signs with the intention of determining the characteristics of the writing and its changes over the years. In this article, traces and movements of the letters were evaluated in order to compare with other documents that belong to same codex. The purpose of this research is to enable the conjectures of readings and interpretations that reveal the writing characteristics of the scribe that also served as a representation of material culture for his time. For reconstitution of the writing process of the graphic systems, included in the analyzed document, the module is referenced from a five-lines calligraphic pattern. It is in the context of a curatorial documentation that the work resumes part of the life and work of Antonio Vieira, trying to understand the ways his pen traveled throughout the seventeenth century.

This essay deals with, or rather attempts to explore, the problem of irony and humour (sensu largo) in the Bible. On the whole Polish theology, homiletics and academic biblical studies have hardly anything to say about it, and when they do mention it, it is done in a rather perfunctory and unsatisfactory manner. This article asks what may be reasons for this 'exegetical retouch' (tabooing?), i.e. why has the question of biblical irony, which is a staple of international scholarship, received so little attention in Poland? Why do contemporary Polish biblical and homiletic studies cultivate a staid and solemn tone, and steer clear of a direct and plain exposition laced with subtle irony and a touch of asteism, a sure sign of a wise sense of humour that characterizes ancient Judaism? For Gary Webster, Terri Bednarz and Yehuda Radday the recognition level of biblical humour, sophisticated wordplay or irony depends on the reader's competence, his linguistic and cultural sensitivity, his ability to detect cognitive presuppositions, and his knowledge of relevant contexts. Yet even a thorough understanding of the biblical text and its cultural conditioning cannot rule out doubts, moot points and interpretative dilemmas that bedevil the work of every translator and hermeneutic analyst and stoke up unending debates.

This article aims to develop a philological approach to Aby Warburg's work by propounding a theory that, defined as Pathonomica, allows oftaking a step from Iconology toward Literary Hermeneutics, bringing closer the semiotic relationship between space and time arts. A particular attention is given to Warburg's "Pathos Formula" and his principles of orientation, repetition, and distance, all of them defined as linguistic devices, as well as to the orality of interjections, which are comparable to the engrams produced by the emotive experience of images. The propose is twofold: on the one hand, and following a line already drawn by Georges Didi-Huberman, we attempt to demonstrate the fruitful opening of hermeneutical possibilities of Warburg's ideas about the liaison between life and word that holds the image; and, on the other hand, to point to a new interpretative way that may constitute a principle to further research into the expression of emotions in literary texts.

This paper aims to expose the theoretical proposal for an art of the current interpretation that Peter Szondi elaborated in his Introduction to Literary Hermeneutics. Through the analysis of authors such as Chladenius, Meier or Schleiermacher, Szondi tries to find a reconciliation between philology and aesthetics, between procedures that aspire to a general theory of comprehension, and rules that can be adapted to the different peculiarities of each text. A proposal that, in contrast to the scientific model adopted in the human sciences of the last century, bets on the specificity of the so-called sciences of the spirit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
