Abstract

This paper examines textual relations between several different translations of the New Testament contained in: Missale Romanum (Latin, 1474), translation by Erasmus (Latin, 1519), Bernardin’s Lectionary (Croatian, 1543), M. Luther (German, 1545), P. Trubar (Slovenian, 1557), A. Dalmatin and S. Konzul (Croatian, 1562), and Vulgata Clementina (Latin, 1592). The translation by A. Dalmatin and S. Konzul (Novi testament) is central in our analysis as we try to distinguish possible influences from the listed texts. This is done through the analysis of names (anthroponyms and toponyms), which are compared in the Gospel of Mark throughout all the cited translations. The toral of458 reference points were analysed and later subdivided into 10 types of relations between texts. The most important finding is that the relation between the Croatian protestant Novi testament and the translation by Erasmus is far more obvious than its relation to Luther. The conclusion is that future research will have to pay more attention to Erasmus’ influence on Croatian protestants.
