Etymological Dictionary of Baltic Mythologemes 1: Christburg Treaty, a thesaurus-type research monograph, presents a systemic analysis of one of the most significant sources of the 13th c. Prussian history, juriprudence, mythology, religion, and ethnography, in historiography commonly referred to as Friedensvertrag zwischen dem deutschen Orden und den abgefallenen Preussen in Pomesanien, Warmien und Natangen, geschlossen unter vermittelung des päpstlichen Nuntius und Assistenz des Bischofs von Culm, or Christburg Treaty. Part 1 of the book, in addition to a short historiographic description of the written monument and its new translation from Latin, supplemented by linguistic and culturological comments, provides explication of the mythological meaning of a mythoastronym nisum.
Analytical Parts 2 and 3 of the monograph are grouped on the basis of the for-mal correlation between the factographic motiffs of the Western Baltic document in question and three mythologemes: one of them looks into the only theonym Curche found in the Christburg Treaty and interferential (of etiological, as well as random, i.e. questionable link) mythonyms (e.g., Latvian deity Jumis), and the other, into the genesis and evolution of the social status and conception of pagan priests of Balts and other IE nations (in particular Old Greek, Italic, and Old Indic), as well as hieronyms (clergy names) Tulissones, Ligaschones, Sicco, Criwe, Segnoten, waidlotten and other. Part 4 details the most significant characteristics of the genesis and evolution of the Lunar and Solar Cults in the Indo-European tribes that could have prede-termined the emergence of the mythologemes Curche and nisum recorded in the
Christburg Treaty. Beside the etymological and culturological analysis of the said mythonyms, the research newly actualizes the problem of identification of common etiological principles of the religious systems of the Balts and other IE nations, the characteristics of the Pantheon evolution, and the trends and causes of changes. The present volume of thesaurus-type research monograph also presents: etymological descriptions of the Latvian theonym Coracle, the mythonym klemu (māte), and other; the genesis and etiology of the IE lamentation tradition; and descriptions of culturological phenomena of Balts and other IE (as well as non-IE) nations (e.g., funeral, apotropeic, and other rites).
