Abstract
The present study offers the Romanian translation of the first German written texts of the Sibiu City Magistrate. Dating back to the year 1556 these documents have not been published until now, therefore their translation reveals an interesting perspective on the city life as well as on the relationships between the citizens and the City Council. The study also describes the particularities and difficulties of the translation process such as they occured in the case of this text type and explains the translators’ choice of the adequate equivalence.
