Uwagi Zofii Abramowiczówny do teorii przekładu

The aim of this article is to publish Prof Zofia Abramowiczówna’s (1906–1988) remarks on the issue of modernization in translations of ancient authors, which she presented during a scientific session of the Toruń Branch of the Polish Philological Association in the mid-1980s. The preserved text of this lecture, now provided with an introduction and relevant explanatory notes, is an interesting record of the author’s views on this aspect of translation theory and practice, and despite the passage of time, Zofia Abramowiczówna’s observations still deserve attention today.
