Ein Sonett an Leuconous: Marian Hemars polnische Nachdichtung von Horaz’ Ode I 11

Abstract

In 1971, Marian Hemar published a Polish adaptation of the better part of Horace’s lyric poems, for the preparation of which he used, as he tells us in the preface, the old edition with an English translation and commentary by Joseph Davidson (London 1746). In this article, I analyze Hemar’s version of carmen I 11 with special regard to the question to which degree he reproduces Horace’s wording, how much he was influenced by Davidson’s edition, and what he added to the poem by himself.
