%X Innumerable quotations from the Bible permeate all Skovoroda¡¯s writings, and yet no systematic analysis of the philosopher¡¯s biblical quotations (or of his quotations from other ecclesiastical sources) has ever been made . In this article I isolate all the biblical quotations incorporated in the dialogue Beseda 1-ja nare ennaja Observatorium (Sion), while pointing to their role as a crucial component of the spiritual meaning of the text. It is my contention that Skovoroda¡¯s use of the Bible follows the rhetorical and theological patterns already outlined by R. Picchio in his seminal works on the function of ¡°biblical thematic clues¡±. On the other hand, the often whimsical distribution of biblical quotations and their complicated linking with one another are to be placed in the Baroque tradition, where, as P. Lewin¡¯s studies on Ukrainian scholastic drama have successfully demonstrated, quotations from the Bible fulfilled stylistic as well as theological functions.
