Die Metapher gewinnt eine neue Bedeutung erst auf Grund der bereits bestehenden. Diese Bedeutungsänderung kann nur dann zustande kommen, wenn zwischen den Denotaten eine Beziehung nach dem Kriterium der Ähnlichkeit besteht. Versucht man die Metapher begriffsmäßig zu bestimmen, ersieht man, daß Isich ihre Definition in Laufe der Zeit, den Wandlungen in der Literaturwissenschaft gemäss, geändert hat. So sagt Aristoteles, die Metapher sei die Entnahme einer anderen Benennung. Quintilianus behauptet: »Metafora brevior isimilitudo«.

Zamišljena u širokim potezima, logički je podijeljena u odsječke koji se međusobno nadopunjuju i tvore mozaik od kojega će svaki čitatelj, pa i onaj koji nikada nije bio na Silbi, moći razabrati ljepotu i bogatstvo toga kraja.

In the Western world one concept which has been linked to beauty is that of kalokagathía , an ideal that unites physical beauty and moral value in a human being. This notion was inherited from Antiquity and was modified during the Middle Ages, when much more attention was paid to the fate of the soul, and further modified during the Renaissance, when concepts of beauty and of moral responses, utility and good gradually became separated. A glance at an ancient notion, such as kalokagathía , has its value in trying to understand modern perceptions of beauty.

These parts reflect views of authors of the Antiquity (notably Aristotle) and some scholastic thinkers, and are deeply permeated by Christian philosophy. Particular attention is given to the words matrikš, plodnica and monstrum sangvinis. A simplified form of konwledge can be discerned from these texts, as well as indications of the spiritual and intellectual atmosphere of Croatian Glagolism of the late Middle Ages. Particular attention is given to a probable mixing up of words "menstruum" and "monstrum", which can be a simple lapsus calami or indication of lack of knowledge of Latin terminology, but it can also reflect the scribe's oppinion on the lesser value of women? This is illustrated in the paper by the fact that some forms of male deviant behavior were termed monstruous in medieval religious literature, which were brought into connection with female mensturuosity. It is shown how medieval Croatian Glagolitic texts tried to unite explaining with regulating.

Oni sadrže pojmove koji se mogu odnositi na temu, oblik ili namjenu djela. Iz naslova se ponekada može iscitati kojoj književnoj vrsti određeni tekst pripada, ali cesce takva indikacija izostaje. Odnos naslova (rubrika) i tekstova valja podrobno izluciti u nastojanju žanrovskoga usustavljenja hrvatskoglagoljske proze.

This knowledge motivated rational, empirical measures of healing, which included a variety of recipes against stones. The paper presents two unconventional testimonies of urolithiasis in the 18th century. The Croatian Glagolitic prayerbook from the 18th century is a valuable source for identification of therapeutical approaches. On the other hand, a votive painting of Saint Liborius, patron saint against lithiasis, reflects theurgical views of disease and healing. On the occasion of the 1600th anniversary of his death, this paper aims to illustrate how his cult was revitalized in the 18th century.

Throughout a large part of her adult life Hildegard was well respected, but after her death interest in her opus has diminished. She was „rediscovered“ in the 20th century as an author whose work – literature (prose, verse, a morality play), theology, music, natural philosophy – tends to touch the modern reader as a very individual, creative fusion of poetic inspiration and theological depth. She views the created universe as one, as the work of God in which man (homo) has a special place. He is God's „plenum opus“, body, soul, spirit and senses and is called upon to be God's „operarius“, i.e. His helper in shaping the history of the created world. She forges ever new connections and relations between the material world and the transcendent, immortal spheres. Perhaps the most poignant works in which this interplay is thematized are her visions, particularly the book „Scivias“ (written between the years 1141 and 1151). It is a very complex work, comprising genres such as vision, contrast/debate, questions and answers, tract and sermon, as well as different discourses (narration, description, dialogue, edification, exegesis, commentary, even verse). Literature and theology coexist in all Hildegard's visions, perhaps most prominently in „Scivias“, one stems from the other and they cannot be separated. Therefore her visions are characterized by a specific polyphony or consonance (symphonia) of various genres and modes. That is arguably the most unique feature of „Scivias“, the mixture of poetry, (literary) vision and theological treatise. In that respect „Scivias“ is particular amonge preserved medieval texts: no vision is so profoundly theological, nor is any treatise so poetic and esthetically imaginative. The interplay of different modi, discourses and subject-matter has great appeal to the modern recipient, but at times proves to be demanding and somewhat unusual reading.
The simile is one of the most commonly used stylistic features, as well as antithesis. Her theology is pictorial, since she uses images from everyday life, nature and the Holy Scriptures to convey the message pertaining to the Truth, which is revealed to her in visions by the voice of the Living Light, i.e. by God himself. And since human language is limited, just as is the human mind and reason, Hildegard is compelled to use comparisons and similes (she often uses expressions such as quasi, velut, imago, forma, apparebant) that function as a bridge between the physical reality and the transcendental.
