Abstract
Within the theoretical framework which characterizes the interdisciplinary approach of Translation Studies, much attention has been devoted to the analysis of translators’ statements about their own works. In the case of a translation of a medieval text, the translator is necessarily faced with a set of problems linked with some major features of the production and transmission of texts in the European Middle Ages. This paper aims to offer some reflections about the translation of the Old Icelandic Gautreks saga into Italian: in particular, the translator will try to highlight the relationships between the adopted translation strategy and the different kinds of influence exerted both on the translation process and its final result by a variety of aspects of the target culture into which the translated text is intended to be received.
