Decryption of numerical series «The Chronicles Byhovca»
Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
This article gives the attempt of reconstruction of numerical matrix in «Тhe chronicles Byhovca» on the example of detection and interpretation of semantic constructs of numbers. Today the problem of numerological knowledge as a part of world outlook modes of the people of Ukrainian lands of XV-XVIII centuries was only briefly reviewed by giving general characteristics of main number indexes. Our research is aimed to deeply and comprehensively focus on basic semantic, figurative art and sacred constructs of numerical information. In particular, we succeeded to isolate the basic semantic contexts for the number three and seven, at the same time revealing main ideological imaginative and sacred foundations of their symbolic cross-section. Three occupies a leading place in numerical matrix of chronicles, bringing a deep religious context, while the number seven is thought by us as rather vivid example of mythical epic folk memory and traditions, leaving aside the Christian component. Numerical matrix of «Тhe chronicles Byhovca» is not limited to these concepts and modes and requires further study in a view of the breadth of its application.
