This article concerns the potential of figurative meaning in heroic poems as well as the links between epic mimesis and allegorical interpretation. It also deals with an early modern idea of a literary masterpiece and its standards. As an outstanding work, a poem should be attractive for both trained and less advanced readers, those who are capable to grasp intellectually each level of the text, and those who simply want to enjoy poetry as a source of pleasure and otium. The analysis of Alegoria del poema by Torquato Tasso and De perfecta poesi by Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski proves that in the early modern period the idea of figurative meaning of epic poems was still widely recognized. This multidimensional semantic structure, conceptualized by writers and critics, combines both didactic and the ‘pleasure-giving’ aspect of a poem as well as makes the epic plot a vivid actualization of moral beauty, and thus influences a reader in a long-lasting way typical of poetry and art. An allegorical interpretation, built over a structure of a heroic fable, unites the sensual beauty of things with an intellectual experience of the great order of the world. It also adds universal qualities to the mimesis of a poem and opens it up to a cognitive and ethical perspective. The process of intense reading, although described in academic terms in Renaissance and Baroque literary criticism, is initiated in a reader’s mind, as (s)he gets exposed to poetic beauty by the very nature of poesis perfecta.

The article analyzes ancient and medieval interpretations of the figure of the widow in the Gospel of Luke in the tradition of the Western Church. From Ambrose (+397), through Bede the Venerable (+735), to the compilation Glossa Ordinaria (twelfth century), the figure of the widow was mostly associated with Ecclesia, or the Church. The following research problems were addressed in the course of the deliberation: How does the biblical text suggest such an association? What potential symbol-forming motifs of the biblical text lead to this association, and what are the further implications? What was the interpretative procedure of the commentators of that time, which led to the creation of such symbolism? And finally, to what extent can it be inspiring for the modern audience? The widow Anna, who longs with hope to see God's face (Lk 2:36-38), the widow of Zarephath of Sidon, who is threatened with starvation (Lk 4:25-26), the widow of Nain, who suffers from the death of her son (Lk 7:11-17), the widow persistently begging the judge to intercede for her (Lk 18:1-8) and the widow throwing two pennies into the treasury (Lk 21:1-4) portray the Church looking with hope for the resurrection in the last times, receiving the spiritual nourishment of the Body of the Lord, trusting in the power of Christ, who restores life to her spiritually dead sons, persistently praying to God and basing her entire existence on Him.

W artykule zostały przeanalizowane starożytne i średniowieczne interpretacje postaci wdowy w Ewangelii Łukasza w tradycji Kościoła zachodniego. Poczynając od Ambrożego (+397), przez Bedę Czcigodnego (+735), aż po kompilację Glossa Ordinaria (XII w.), postać wdowy przeważnie kojarzona była z Eklezją, czyli Kościołem. W toku rozważań zostały podjęte następujące problemy badawcze: W jaki sposób tekst biblijny sugeruje takie skojarzenie? Jakie potencjalne motywy symbolotwórcze tekstu biblijnego prowadzą do tego skojarzenia i jakie wynikają stąd dalsze implikacje? Jak wyglądał proceder interpretacyjny ówczesnych komentatorów, który prowadził do stworzenia takiej symboliki? I w końcu, na ile może być ona inspirująca dla współczesnego odbiorcy? Wdowa Anna, która z nadzieją tęskni, by ujrzeć Boże oblicze (Łk 2,36-38), wdowa z Sarepty Sydońskiej, której zagraża śmierć głodowa (Łk 4,25-26), wdowa z Nain, która cierpi z powodu śmierci syna (Łk 7,11-17), wdowa wytrwale błagająca sędziego, by wstawił się za nią (Łk 18,1-8) oraz wdowa wrzucająca dwa grosze do skarbony (Łk 21,1-4), obrazują Kościół wyglądający z nadzieją zmartwychwstania w czasach ostatecznych, otrzymujący duchowy pokarm Ciała Pańskiego, ufający w moc Chrystusa, który przywraca życie jej duchowo umarłym synom, wytrwale modlący się do Boga oraz na Nim opierający całą swoją egzystencję.

A broad understanding of revelation corresponds to a wide range of theological interests of radical orthodoxy. The article shows which conceptions are struggled against and which interpretations of revelation are promoted by the movement’s supporters. Following Thomas Aquinas, representatives of radical orthodoxy assume that revelation is an event which combines illumination of the intellect, the interpretation of reality in this light and internal transformation of a soul. Such a point of view leads to rejection of a modern conception of revelation (Suárez’s heritage). According to representatives of radical orthodoxy, by coming back to patristic and medieval roots, especially to metaphysics of participation, one can overcome dualisms of faith and reason together with those of nature and grace. Henri de Lubac’s surnaturel paradox is spread onto issues of biblical exegesis and development of doctrine. Issues of relation of theology to philosophy is dealt with as well. In fact the discussion with opinions of leaders of the movement should be reduced to a meta-argument concerning the polarity: unity vs distinction. Finally, the attitude of radical orthodoxy is presented against a background of catholic theology. The radicalism characteristic of the movement turns out to simultaneously shake the orthodox balance typical of Catholicism.
