Popis: In 1793 in Vienna was published the book called "Svestena istorija" ("Sacred history"), in Serbian language. It was known that the translator was Jovan Rajic, but the author remained unknown at that time. In the early 20th century Dimitrije Ruvarac attributed the book to Platon Levsin. As relevant information it became a part of almost all bibliographic sources. The paper deals with the issue, trying to establish, on the basis of bibliographical and literaryhistorical research, identity of the real author. In addition, it considers the 18th century poetics of translation, as a necessary context for understanding the book and literary issues.
