_{Article in Polish}

_{In the article selected phonetic, inflexional and lexical questions concerning Old Belarusian translations of chivalric romances (based on the so-called Belarusian Tristan preserved in the 16th century manuscript of the Raczynski Codex) have been analyzed. Special attention has been focused on lexical borrowings. Main loanwords from other languages (Latin, Italian, German, Czech) through the Polish medium have been discussed. The usage of such lexical devices was justified by the nominal needs connected with the description of life, warcraft, knights’ activities as well as general concepts. A native lexical inventory was inadequate to nominate new realities, phenomena or objects. Vocabulary of South Slavonic origin, the presence of which may serve as evidence of the existence of a Serbian version of Tristan has also been described.}
