The semantic structure of funerary inscriptions has a dual character. The onomastic-genealogial part is characterized by stereotypical forms of expression and performs a referential function. Its opposi­tion, the emotive text-component, eulogy, is dominated by the function of self-expression, with no­ticeable linguistic elegance. The present article examines the use of rhetorical figures of repetition in the German funerary inscriptions dating from the period 1790–2010 and analyzes closely their poet-ic function. The study shows that the analyzed texts contain a lot of different rhetorical figures of repetition, which confirms the poetic function of the investigated genre.

„Monumenta Sarmatarum” to pierwszy w Polsce zbiór inskrypcji nagrobnych, opracowany przez Szymona Starowolskiego i wydany w Krakowie w 1655 roku. Kolekcja zawsze ceniona była przez historyków jako materiał źródłowy. Była również poddawana analizom przez badaczy z dziedziny religioznawstwa i historii stosunków społecznych. Poświęcono jej natomiast tylko nieliczne opracowania z zakresu literaturoznawstwa. Wynikało to z dotychczasowej dezaprobaty dla twórczości, którą można określić jako użytkową oraz z faktu, że XIX-wieczni uczeni oceniali cały dorobek Starowolskiego wraz z kolekcją epigraficzną za mało staranny i pełen błędów. Badania, których owocem jest obecne omówienie, podjęte w niewielkim zakresie, przeczą jednak tym przekonaniom. Jak się okazuje, autor zadał sobie wiele trudu nie tylko gromadząc materiał, lecz również przygotowując go do publikacji. Szczególną troskę widać w zakresie języka, stosowania terminologii łacińskiej oraz w opracowaniu formy wizualnej druku. Analiza zagadnień dotyczących chronologii powstania tekstów wyjawiła, że w książce znajdują się nie tylko utwory epigraficzne, lecz także elogia przygotowane przez samego Starowolskiego. Ostatecznie poszukiwania podjęte w zakresie kilku zaledwie problemów ukazały, że dzieło winno się stać przedmiotem szerszych badań literaturoznawczych.

“Monumenta Sarmatarum” is the first collection of funerary inscriptions in Poland, compiled by Szymon Starowolski and published in Cracow in 1655. This collection has always been appreciated as a valuable source material by historians. It has also been the subject of analyses by researchers specialising in religious studies and the history of social relations. However, in the field of literary studies, it has been researched to a limited extent only. The reason for this was the lack of approval, at that time, of studies that can be referred to as “utility work” and the fact that the scholars of the 19th century thought that all of Starowolski’s work, including his epigraphic collection, lacked diligence and was abound with mistakes. These beliefs are, however, contradicted by the results of the limited research discussed here. The research shows that the author of “Monumenta Sarmatarum” put a great effort not only in finding the source materials, but also in preparing these materials for publication. Special care is seen in the choice of language, the use of Latin terminology and the visual preparation of the publication. An analysis of the chronology of the texts reveals that “Monumenta Sarmatarum” contains not only epigraphic work, but also commemorative elogia prepared by Starowolski himself. Finally, the research study discussed here, which covered only selected problems, shows that “Monumenta Sarmatarum” should be the subject of more extensive research work in the field of literary studies.

This paper discusses the documentary evidence of the last three known bishops from Late Antique and early Islamic Syene/Aswan (5th/6th to 8th/9th cent. ad). All three bear the name of Joseph, two of them, Joseph (II) and (III), are known from already published inscriptions. A new bishop, Joseph (I), occurs for the first time in a Greek ostracon from Elephantine, which is edited here for the first time. A bishop Joseph appears, moreover, on a series of pink clay lamps, which were found, among others, in Adulis (modern Eritrea). A lamp mold with the name of a bishop Joseph, excavated by Charles Clermont-Ganneau on Elephantine, permits the allocation of these Joseph-lamps to Syene as well.

The article contains reflections on several methodological and terminological issues. It is inspired by the recently published book by Feliks Czyżewski “Antroponimia pogranicza polsko-wschodniosłowiańskiego w świetle inskrypcji nagrobnych”, cz. 1 “Słownik nazwisk” (Anthroponymy of the Polish-East Slavic Borderland in the Light of Funerary Incriptions, Part I: Dictionary of Last Names). The article points out some insufficiencies of information in the dictionary articles, discusses the method of working out female last names, and raises questions about the status of variants of the same name in different languages.
