This contribution describes the adaptation process of the anthroponym Barrabáš/ Barabáš/Barabbáš in Czech versions of printed New Testament text in the Early Modern Period. Following the development in foreign sources, the Czech form changed from Barrabáš and Barabáš, inherited from the Old Czech translation tradition, to Barabbáš. The latter is the form introduced into Czech tradition by the Náměšť New Testament of 1533, it prevailed in Brethren translations from 1601 onwards and in the exile, whereas the Baroque Catholic tradition in the St. Wenceslas Bible opted for Barabáš, a form exceptional in the late pre-1620 editions.

This article explores the reading of the name Abbadon (Book of Revelation 9:11) in Jan Blahoslav’s translation of the New Testament (1564, 1568). This reading, unique among Czech printed versions prior to the Battle at the White Mountain (1620), reflects the Greek variant Ἀββαδών, occurring in editions prepared by Erasmus of Rotterdam and in some other prints. While the variant Ἀββαδών dominated before the 1540s, in Stephanus’ editions (1546–1551) the variant Ἀβαδδών was consistently used and also prevailed in Greek sources in the latter half of the century. Latin Vulgate tradition preferred its exact parallel Abaddon in the most influential editions except for a short period of Stephanus’ editions around the mid-16th century. Among the Latin translations, only the fifth edition of Erasmus (1535) and Biblia Tigurina adopted the variant Abbadon. Thus, it is highly probable that in Blahoslav’s versions, the typical Greek reading of the 1510s to 1530s and Latin reading of the Erasmian fifth edition and its follower Biblia Tigurina left their specific trace in the Czech biblical translation tradition.
