The commentary deals with the structure of the text, which is shown by the author within the context of the structure of an ancient heroic epic (part 1), as well as with the role of ancient and medieval motifs (part 2) and the presentation of the knightly ethos (part 3). On the one hand, this approach to the commentary allows the author to show the epitaph as a mournful miniature of an ancient epic, whose hero carries out his earthly mission in accordance with the ethos of a medieval knight, and, on the other hand, it enables students to translate this medieval source text correctly and to interpret it within a perspective that not only relates to the epoch, but also functions within the context of the heritage of antiquity.}, doi = {10.4467/27204812ZG.24.006.19722}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/zeszyty-glottodydaktyczne/article/lekcja-etosu-rycerskiego-epitafium-zawiszy-czarnego-adama-swinki-jako-zalobna-miniatura-eposu-bohaterskiego-na-zajeciach-translatoryjnych-z-laciny-sredniowiecznej} }
