As the examples cited above suggest, Renaissance translators and paraphrasers of Psalm 137, whether poets, scholars, or both, found in this psalm a source of consolation for a variety of situations of exile, alienation, loss, and estrangement, according to the religious and political views or the personal circumstances of the interpreters. Throughout this section the persona is paraphraser and student, vacillating imperceptibly at times between who is the two roles, and it is the student who is engaging in the second group of talks to prepare for his initiation by circumcision. When Erasmus contends that paraphrase differs from translation in that paraphrase rephrases what the author says in the words of the paraphraser, whereas a translation attempts to reproduce a version of the words themselves, he seems to be claiming that his paraphrases successfully render the res if not the verbum of the scriptural text. |
