Verbalization of iconographic images in poetry from Ukrainian Cyrillic old-printed editions

Section: Studies of Archival and Book Fonds

Abstract: In the article features of poetry, printed under gravures with iconographic images that illustrate Ukrainian Cyrillic editions of the 17th – the first half of the 18th century, are observed. Such texts belong to productive in literature of this period genre of descriptive poetry. Little amount of Ukrainian descriptive poetry studies is connected with lack of modern reprints and diffusion of first-printed editions of descriptive poetry in fonds of different libraries. Our research is based on material of more than 50 texts, found in copies from the fonds of V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine. The majority of them were not republished. Content and formal features of descriptive poetry are conditioned by the content of edition in which the gravure with poem was printed. Verbalization of image from gravure is realized with the help of nomination and interpretation of iconographic image, formulation of a prayer appellation to this image or a preachment to the reader. In artistic structure of edition descriptive poetry is an important branch which links book gravure with the text of edition, decorated by this gravure. Such effect is achieved by the means of insertion in descriptive poetry of the image of patron, author or the central image of edition. Descriptive poetry is an element of artistic structure of Ukrainian Cyrillic book of Baroque epoch. It should be studied in complex with book gravure and in the context of its first printed edition.

Keywords: descriptive poetry, iconographic image, book gravure, Ukrainian Cyrillic old-printed editions, Baroque poetry, book poetry.
