Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to draw a sociological portrait of Olgierd Adrian Wojtasiewicz, Polish linguist, translator, scholar and translators’ trainer who published a book entitled "Wstęp do teorii tłumaczenia" ["Introduction to the Theory of Translation"] in 1957. In this paper I shall be investigating the main tenets of Wojtasiewicz’s contribution to translation studies, the main reason of its total ignorance outside Poland. I shall also look at his major achievements as a translator and founder of the first academic institution in Poland of training of translators and interpreters.
