Between the text and the page: Żołtarz Dawidów in manuscript and print

Abstract

Th e objective of the paper is to argue against a common denotation for Walenty Wróbel's 16 th -century translation of the Psalter into Polish and its printed version prepared by Andrzej Glaber. It is customary to treat Glaber's interventions into Wróbel's rendition as purely editorial and, in eff ect, consider the printed version of the Żołtarz to be the work of Wróbel. On the basis of Glaber's treatment of one syntactic phenomenon (the placement of the possessive pronoun in an NP), the paper shows that Glaber's involvement into Wróbel's text far exceeds what Glaber is usually credited with. Th erefore, the paper claims that the two works -the manuscript and its printed edition -should be classifi ed and discussed as distinct productions.
