Abstract
Two significant volumes dedicated to mediaeval studies which sparked an engaged reception in Poland of the work by the Annales school were Georges Duby and Robert Mandrou’s A History of French Civilization. From the 10th to 20th century and Jacques Le Goff’s Medieval Civilization 400–1500.
Although they are without a doubt scientific books, their literary value places them in the popular science genre. As early as a few years after their publication, both books were successfully translated by Hanna Szumańska-Grossowa, which contributed to the popularisation of the knowledge about French history among Polish readers.
It’s a great achievement of Szumańska-Grossowa, who translated into Polish both fiction and scientific books, to enable Polish readers of the 1960s and 1970s to freely familiarise themselves with the greatest achievements of French and, more broadly speaking, European humanities.
