Summary/Abstract: This article re-examines the Slovak reception of François Villon against the backdrop of epistemological turns in 19th- and 20th-century medieval studies. The aim is to look at the tensions between positivist and interpretive approaches to Villon and to determine to what extent these epistemes are present in the thinking of Jozef Felix (1913–1977), the translator of Villon’s works into Slovak. Special attention is paid to Felix’s handling of the ambiguity of Villon’s poetry, which stems from the heterogenous profile of its readership as well as from the blurred boundaries between subject and object.
