221 Martynas Maþvydas and

Old Lithuania

considerably earlier. Furthermore Karaciejus supports K. Jablonskis and Pranas

Skardþius view [...] that the first Lithuanian book was intended for Lithuania

Major, whereas Maþvydas later works - for Lithuania Minor (p.170).

The title of Saulius Ambrazas article is Some derivative features in the wri-

tings by M.Maþvydas from the diachronic point of view (pp.175-188). Ambrazas

discusses derivatives with the suffixes -tojas (-tojis), -inykas(-ë), -ybë and -imas/

-ymas and places them geographically and historically. For example, he writes

(p.185): The l6th-17th-century nomina agentis derived with the suffix -tojas from

primary verbs were widely used in the Low Lithuanian and in the High Lithua-

nian dialect of Lithuania Minor (East Prussia); in the East and Middle High

Lithuanian dialects, they were in that period being pushed from active use by

corresponding derivatives with the suffix -ëjas. The article is solid and workman-

like, but one must read the article to see that apparently the title has been wrongly

translated. A derivative feature is a feature which is derived from something or

other. Similarly derivative isoglosses (p.185) would be isoglosses which were so-

mehow derived. The title should contain some phrase such as features of deriva-

tives or perhaps procedures of derivation or even, although perhaps less desirable,

derivational features. Since in effect the article deals with suffixation, I would have

preferred a title such as Some derivational suffixes in the writings by M.Maþ-

vydas from the diachronic point of view.

Regina Koþeniauskienës article, The context of Martynas Maþvydas rhetorical

text (pp.191-212) begins with the sentence: Rhetorical humanistic thinking,

which permeated the written literature of the Renaissance epoch, is distinct in its

all [sic!] genres, also in prefaces, dedications and other inserts of the main text of

the first printed books in national languages, which most frequently were cate-

chisms (p.191). Although it is not completely clear to me, I can get a notion of what

the author might mean. But if there is any dialect of English where the sequence

*its all genres is acceptable, I am quite unfamiliar with it. On p.198 we find the

sentence: Or, just think how Lithuanian are the following words in Upaminagimas:

makslas, scheimina, darbas, prakaitas, iszganitagis, gals, while the archaic forms of the

subjunctive mood iszmaktumbet, atmintumbet, preimtumbet impart peculiar rhetoric

poeticism. The Lithuanian words are not glossed into English in the text and even

if they were, how would the English speaker who did not know Lithuanian be able

to appreciate them as being quintessentially Lithuanian? If the text was designed

for someone who knows Lithuanian well, why bother to translate it into English

at all? Elsewhere in the volume (Christian) Stangs name has been preserved in its

original form, but on p.198 it appears in the Lithuanianized form Stangas.

Eugenija Ulèinaitës article, Letters of the humanists of 16th century Lithuania:

European tradition and originality (pp.215-233) treats the letters of such notable

figures as Abraomas Kulvietis, Aloisius Lipoman [sic!], Mikalojus Radvila the

Black, Stanislovas Rapolionis, Augustinus Rotundas. One of the most interesting

things in Rotundas letter to Stephen Batory is his suggestion that Latin should
