Abstracts

This paper analyzes biblical names in Trylogia husycka (Narrenturm, Boży bojownicy and Lux perpetua) written by Andrzej Sapkowski. Anthroponyms, theonyms, names of monsters and demons, ethnonyms, toponyms, chrononyms and names of stars are derived from the New Testament and the Old Testament and appear primarily in dialogues and sermons. Biblical names used by the heroes prove their erudition and their extensive knowledge of the Holy Bible. Biblical names in Trylogia husycka are endowed with many functions. They serve as allusions or intertextual references; they also enrich the novels with didactic values. Such names indicate when the action of the novels takes place; they characterize people and places by their metaphorical meanings, too. They also perform the emotive function and the humorous function. Biblical names are a very important part of the onomastic layer of Trylogia husycka.
