La Càtedra, mitjançant una comissió, es proposa vetllar per la conservació, la difusió i l'estudi de l'obra de Jordi Arbonès i alhora promoure la recerca sobre traducció i literatura catalana.

agree  Berni Armstrong: I read it thus: "While his translations are widely read, his own varied creative output has yet to reach a wider audience". PS His picture is everywhere in our place - the UAB :-)
