The article “From the Womb of the morning” is an attempt to combine personal memories of Fr. prof. Stachowiak with an example of his scientific work. The difficult verse of Ps 110 is well suited to presenting the method that the Professor used in his exegetical work. Against the backdrop of subsequent editions of the Millennium Bible, the reader can learn not only about Professor’s extraordinary erudition, but also about his scientific honesty, which testifies to the constant improvement of the research workshop and respect for the inspired word.

The Rev. Prof. Aleksy Klawek (1890-1969) was a great Polish Old Testamentscholar who can certainly also be called a great Hebrew scholar.His dream was to create a modern translation of the Bible directly fromHebrew, Aramaic and Greek, and Poland had long been in need of one, asWujek’s translation of 1597 was outdated and not easy to understand. Butit took Klawek years before he decided to present his first fragmentarytranslations; this happened in the late 1930s and 1940s. It is not clear whyKlawek did not join the team of translators of the so-called “Tyniec Bible”,now known as the “Millennium Bible”, in 1959, but being aware of the weakness of Father Augustyn Jankowski’s translating team, Klawek formedhis own team before the publication of the “Millennium Bible” composedmostly of his former Ph.D. students. In the end, we did not receive a moderntranslation of the Bible from Klawek’s hands as he died in 1969. His ideawas put into practice under the editorship of his pupil Michał Peter andMarian Wolniewicz. As Klawek’s translations of Psalms, Song of Songs andDaniel remained unfinished, all that the editors could do was to gratefullyacknowledge Klawek’s initiative. The new “Poznań Bible”, which appearedin the years 1974-1976, is much prized for its quality (clarity and accuracy)and its extensive commentaries.
