| Description | The article disscusses the print of Rozmlouvání utěšené a potěšitedlné Pána Boha s Evou vyhnanou z Ráje a rodinou její (A very beautiful and pleasant dialogue between Our Lord and Eve expelled from Paradise as well as with her family) which was translated by the scribe and town councillor Pavel Lucín (1525-1597) from Tábor who later in 1557 had the work published by the Prague printer Jiří Melantrich. The text which Lucín chose as the basis for his translation was one of the editions of the Latin catechism by the Luteran theologian Lucas Lossius. At the end of Lossius' book the text Dialogus pius et festivus, de colloquio Deum (ut ferunt) et Evam was added, which drew inspiration from Melanchthon's Latin letter from the 23th March 1539 addressed to Johan IV., count of Wieda which had been printed several times that year. The final part of the article focuses on the typography and the block print illustration depicting God with Adam and Eve. Remarkable is also the connection of this deptiction with the initial N which is found in various version and stylistic variants of the Bibles printed by Netolický, Melantrich and Samuel Adam of Veleslavín. |
