The Question about the Hypertextual Relations in the Book of Genesis Still Open

Abstract

The article is a critical review of the commentary by Bartosz Adamczewski – Genesis. A Hy­pertextual Commentary. After presenting the theses put forward by Adamczewski in his commentary on Genesis, the criteria of sequential hypertextuality implemented by Adamczewski and his method of de­limiting literary units that remain in hypertextual relations are critically reviewed. The methodological weakness of the hypertextual commentary on Genesis cannot be covered up by the creativity of the com­mentator.
