In his work the author presents the process of creating the first complete Polish translation of Gaius’s Institutiones by Cezary Kunderewicz (in the 19th c. the first two books were translated into Polish by Dydyński). The translation was published by PWN in 1982 (in 2003 another Polish edition was published by Rozwadowski). The author supposes that professor Kunderewicz probably started his translation in the early 1970s. He refers to his own memories as he is now the oldest disciple of Professor Kunderewicz. The author mentions that Kunderewicz was excellently prepared for this difficult work. Several years earlier Kunderewicz translated the treatise on Roman Aqueducts written by Frontinus. The article is clearly based on memories. This is the reason why the author is quoting only one review of Kunderewicz’s translation and why he does no try to evaluate the translation. In the end the author writes also about Kunderewicz’s another translation – Polish edition of Justinian’s Institutes, which was published in 1986.

The author analyses the place of Gaius in the research of Teodor Dydyński – a Polish law historian. Gaius, though not well known, became a famous Roman jurist, recognized as a great authority. His Institutiones was a complete exposition of the elements of Roman law. Dydyński thought that Gaius and his works were significant so he devoted much research to him. Dydyński translated Institutiones from Latin into Polish and published them with his own notes. He regarded Gaius as a great teacher of Roman law, he had much reverence and admiration for him, which was reflected in Dydyński’s writings. Therefore Dydyński should be seen as a scientist who created a kind of legend – the legend of Gaius.
