Religijna rzeczywistość Śląska doby wojen husyckich w oryginale i przekładach powieści Lux perpetua Andrzeja Sapkowskiego
The Religious Life of Silesia During the Hussite Wars in the Original and Translations of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Novel Lux Perpetua

Summary/Abstract: This article revolves around the issue of Silesian religious life, specifically in a translated text during the Hussite wars. The studied issues include the way in which the target text reflects the author’s vision of various spheres of religious life, such as religious issues, religious rites, approach to the problem of Christian dogmas, approach to places of religious worship, liturgical objects and organization of religious life in Silesia in the 15th century. An analysis was conducted based on a comparison of the original text with translations into Russian and Ukrainian. The main premise of a given text is to show the ways of transmitting a religious lexicon between Polish, Russian and Ukrainian. Moreover, the problem of transferring this type of vocabulary to cultures dominated by the influence of Eastern churches is becoming an extremely important issue here. The conducted research shows that the translator uses various techniques of transmitting religious lexis. One can find among them: transcription, i.e. the introduction of borrowings, recognized equivalents, replacement of Catholic elements with Orthodox or Uniate terminology, as well as rare examples of omitting specific elements of the original text.
