Summary/Abstract: The article presents the book “Status of Innocence. Adam, Eve and the medieval political philosophy” (“Stato d’innocenza: Adamo, Eva e la filosofia politica medieval”) of the Italian medievalist Gianluca Briguglia and some observations on its translation into Bulgarian. In her master’s thesis (MP “Translator-Editor”, SU “St. Kliment Ohridski”) the author translated the introduction and the first two chapters of the book and commented on her translation decisions. For the present collection of articles, she has selected the following three excerpts from the commentary part of her thesis: the introduction to the topic of the status of innocence in medieval political philosophy; her considerations about the translation of the book’s title; an outline of how the counterfactual approach is applied to the story of Adam and Eve and an analysis of the grammatical features that the verbal articulation of this logical operation requires.
