Abstract
The following paper is concerned with a comparison between the Vedic hymn RV VII 55 and the Vīdēvdād chapter XVIII 16. It is argued that little lullaby-themes, aimed at quieting men as well as animals, have come to be included into sacral and religious texts from popular sources (e.g. magical charms to be performed on sleepless babies), revealing Proto-Indo-European formulae and stylistic patterns that can be reconstructed. A Hittite text and some fragments of Greek poems by Simonides and Alcman are also included in the list of the passages to be compared.
下面的论文是关于吠陀圣歌RV VII 55和Vīdēvdād第十八章16之间的比较。有人认为,旨在让人类和动物安静下来的小摇篮曲主题,已经从流行的来源(例如,为失眠的婴儿表演的魔法咒语)中被纳入了神圣和宗教文本,揭示了可以重建的原始印欧公式和风格模式。赫梯文本和西蒙尼德斯和阿尔克曼的一些希腊诗歌片段也包括在要比较的段落列表中。
期刊介绍:
Indo-Iranian Journal, founded in 1957, focuses on the ancient and medieval languages and cultures of South Asia and of pre-islamic Iran. It publishes articles on Indo-Iranian languages (linguistics and literatures), such as Sanskrit, Avestan, Middle Iranian and Middle & New Indo-Aryan. It publishes specialized research on ancient Iranian religion and the Indian religions, such as the Veda, Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism (including Tibetan). The journal welcomes epigraphical studies as well as general contributions to the understanding of the (pre-modern) history and culture of South Asia. Illustrations are accepted. A substantial part of Indo-Iranian Journal is reserved for reviews of new research.
