Abstract

Marriage of Philologia and Mercurius was a satyrical poem of Martianus Capella that has several mythical messages to us. The connection of the god of eloquence and the mistress of the seven liberal arts points out that examining literature always has to reckon with both philological and hermeneutical issues. In my paper I deal with a concrete philological problem. Pal Bednanics, a poet and priest in the age of Enlightenment, did not pass any written poem to us, but tells a lot of our history. Philology is a state of understanding and an endeavour to express and contextualise informations gathered by textological work. Without text there are secondary texts that make us to build up contexts for literary and cultural history. These are traces we have to follow, even if we don’t know their origin or authenticity.
