D. 1708| re-discovery of a lost poem and its cultural-historical significance|Jesuit Marcus Antonius Kappus (1657–1717), born in Kamna Gorica (north-western Slovenia), set sail for the New World in 1687. He spent the next thirty years as a mis-sionary among the indigenous Ópata people in the far northwest of Mexico, then part of the Spanish colony of New Spain. In 1708, he wrote a poem entitled Enthu?ia?mus ?ive, ?oLeMnes LVDI PoëtICI MetrIs, pro DVrante anno 1708 ChronographICIs sVb PyroMaChIa DepICtI, which was published in Mexico City. The poem consisting of 276 hexameters in Latin, each printed as a chronogram, was devoted to Louis Philip of Bourbon, the newly-born Prince of Spain (1707–1724). For a long time, only the title of the poem was known, and it was even thought to be lost, as no exemplar could be found in either American or European libraries or archives. Janez Stanonik devoted a special study to the poem, published in Acta Neophilologica in 1995. The author of this article, prompted by Stanonik’s research on Kappus, then came across a copy of the poem in 2021 during an online search in the Biblioteca Foral de Bizkaia in Bilbao. Enthusiasmus is of great significance for understanding Kappus’ missionary and political activities, as well as his literary and artistic capabilities. The article in this issue of the journal discusses the fate of the long-hidden poem, the historical circumstances of its creation, and provides an overview of its content, message and cultural-historical significance within the political and social context of contemporary New Spain and more broadly of the Spanish empire during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714).

Naslednjih trideset let je preživel kot misijonar med domorodnim prebivalstvom Ópata na skrajnem severozahodu Mehike, ki je bila takrat del španske kolonije Nova Španija. Leta 1708 je napisal pesem z naslovom Enthu?ia?mus ?ive, ?oLeMnes LVDI PoëtICI MetrIs, pro DVrante anno 1708 ChronographICIs sVb PyroMaChIa DepICtI, ki je bila objavljena v Ciu-dad de Mexicu. Pesem, sestavljena iz 276 heksametrov v latinščini, vsak natisnjen kot kronogram, je bila posvečena Ludviku Filipu Burbonu, novorojenemu princu Španije (1707–1724). Dolgo časa je bil znan le naslov pesmi, celo mislili so, da je izgubljena, saj je ni bilo mogoče najti niti v ameriških niti v evropskih knjižnicah ali arhivih. Janez Stanonik je pesmi posvetil posebno študijo, objavljeno v reviji Acta neophilologica leta 1995. Avtor tega članka, spodbujen s Stanonikovim raz-iskovanjem Kappusa, je leta 2021 med spletnim iskanjem v Biblioteca Foral de Bizkaia v Bilbau naletel na izvod pesmi. Enthusiasmus je zelo pomemben za razu-mevanje Kappusovih misijonskih in političnih dejavnosti ter njegovih literarnih in umetniških sposobnosti. Članek v tej številki revije obravnava usodo te dolgo izgubljene pesmi, zgodovinske okoliščine njenega nastanka in ponuja pregled nje-ne vsebine, sporočila in kulturno-zgodovinskega pomena v političnem in družbe-nem kontekstu sodobne Nove Španije in širše španskega imperija med špansko nasledstveno vojno (1701–1714). V prihodnji številki je predvidena transkripcija pesmi skupaj z njenim angleškim prevodom, ki ga bodo spremljale jezikoslovna in literarnozgodovinska študija ter sinteza trenutnega vedenja o tem izjemnem Kappusovem deluTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
