	Occulta sapientiae. On the translation of Psalm 51 by Czesław Miłosz
	The essay focuses on Czesław Miłosz’s translation of one of the most celebrated
	penitential psalms, Psalm 51. Contrary to the medieval practice of illuminating books
	of psalms, and thereby providing a vivid narrative and personal context for the
	lamentations and pleas, Miłosz aims at highlighting the universal and archetypical
	dimension of King David’s prayers. Consequently, he strives to create a new hieratic
	convention which would reconcile the suggestiveness and prosodic specificity of
	Hebrew poetry with its liturgical application, as well as sustain the coherence of theological
	interpretation. Struggling with the characteristic patterns of repetitions and
	parallelisms, Miłosz draws the lexical and syntactic inspiration from the earliest
	Polish translations of psalms, Psałterz Puławski in particular. The resulting translation
	is a complex amalgam of the religious intuitions of Judaism, the hieratic tradition of
	the Polish language, and the semantic intensity of Miłosz’s poetry.
