Drawing on approaches from literary studies, history, linguistics,
and art history, and ranging from Late Antiquity to the sixteenth
century, this collection views 'translation' broadly as the
adaptation and transmission of cultural inheritance. The essays
explore translation in a variety of sources from manuscript to
print culture and the creation of lexical databases. Several essays
look at the practice of textual translation across languages,
including the vernacularization of Latin literature in England,
France, and Italy; the translation of Greek and Hebrew scientific
terms into Arabic; and the use of Hebrew terms in anti-Jewish and
anti-Muslim polemics. Other essays examine medieval translators'
views and performance of translation, looking at Lydgate's
translation of Greek myths through mental images rendered through
rhetorical figures or at how printing transformed the rhetoric of
intervernacular translation of chivalric romances. This collection
also demonstrates translation as a key element in the construction
of cultural and political identity in the Fet des Romains and
Chester Whitsun Plays, and in the papacy's efforts to compete with
Byzantium by controlling the translation of Greek writings.
