MacManus’s The Old Hag’s Long Leather Bag is a unique text in terms of style in the first place. The study of its translation into Armenian is of interest since it is the very first Irish folk tale translated into Armenian. As many renderings of folktales of the time it is an indirect translation mediated by the Russian version. The translation of each particular folktale is of interest, however a number of features of the text, which are held to be resulting from the translator’s individual style are in fact conditioned by the nature of the translated text as a distinct text type.
