Migracje słowa Bożego, czyli obrona wartości Wulgaty według Franciszka Titelmansa
Mantyk, Tomasz Karol (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2019)
A new translation of the New Testament directly from Greek published by Erasmus of Rotterdam in 1516 was a milestone of biblical scholarship. His work, seemingly challenging the traditional Vulgate translation, provoked much opposition. Among Erasmus’s adversaries was Francis Titlemans, a young Franciscan theologian from Leuven. In his Prologus Apologeticus he criticised Erasmus’s work as a self-aggrandising exercise in vain glory and defended the centuries old authority of the Vulgate. The kernel of his argument was that the word of God migrated from one language to another under strict Divine supervision that ensured its incorruptibility. Thus, biblical translation was not merely a matter of philology but required divine inspiration. Some arguments of Titelmans were reflected in canons of the Council of Trent relating to the Bible. Although the exact content of his arguments appears irrelevant to contemporary Biblical scholarship, some suppositions underlying his polemic with Erasmus sound very similar to those resonating in modern debates, making this 500 years old controversy a valuable subject of study.

Translating Romans 5:12 in the Early 16th Century. Franciscus Titelmans’s Polemic against Humanists
Mantyk, Tomasz Karol (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2021)
Translating the Bible has never been an easy task, least of all at the times of theological controversy. A New Latin translation by Erasmus of Rotterdam, executed on the eve of the Reformation, met much criticism on philological and theological level. Franciscus Titelmans, a young, Franciscan scholar from Leuven, addressed in his Collationes quinque numerous issued regarding the translation of the Epistle to the Romans. This article focuses on Romans 5:12. Titelmans claimed that Erasmus’s translation of this verse threatened the dogma of original sin and promoted the resurgence of Pelagianism. The article analyses his arguments showing that although he was not entirely alien to philology, he relied more on the Church Fathers and the authority of the Church in his translation. Philological and logical arguments served only as auxiliary proofs for the meaning that had been established by patristic commentaries. Consequently, this debate mirrors diverse attitudes of both scholars. The Humanist opted for sound philology, even if it resulted in questionable theological statements, the Franciscan for sound theology, even if it led to imperfect philological choices. Although specific arguments of this debate are outdated and hardly relevant to modern-day biblical studies, divergent attitudes of its protagonists are well reflected in current debates, making it worth.
