This study focuses on the Turkish and Russian translations of Tommaso Campanella's Civitas Solis/La Città del Sole (1602/1623/1637). Four Turkish and two Russian translations of the work were examined during the descriptive phase of the study. The descripted Turkish versions of Civitas Solis, were translated by (in chronological order) Vedat Günyol & Haydar Kazgan (1965), Veysel Atayman (2003), Çiğdem Dürüşken (2008), Betül Parlak (2021), and the Russian ones were translated by A.G. Genkel (1906) and F.A. Petrovskiy (1934/1947). Even though Turkish translations of the work, which were examined comparatively, except the first one, were translated in the same historical period, they attracted the attention of the researchers because of some translational decisions, which can be regarded as examples of sexist discourse and censorship, that was realised by omitting some paragraphs of the source text. The researchers have had some assumptions about the possible reasons for those decisions, which have been tested in the descriptive phase of this study. In the case of Russian translations, it has been observed that the translators of the work, have created some ideological frameworks which conduct the readers to the different reading pathways from the source text. Both Turkish and Russian translation are described by using Toury’s norms (1995). The directness of the translation and, matrix norms have helped the researchers to testify their assumptions.
