From the end of the thirteenth century to the first decades of the
sixteenth century, Guyart des Moulins's Bible historiale was the
predominant French translation of the Bible. Enhancing his
translation with techniques borrowed from scholastic study,
vernacular preaching, and secular fiction, Guyart produced one of
the most popular, most widely copied French-language texts of the
later Middle Ages. Making the Bible French investigates how
Guyart's first-person authorial voice narrates translation choices
in terms of anticipated reader reactions and frames the biblical
text as an object of dialogue with his readers. It examines the
translator's narrative strategies to aid readers' visualization of
biblical stories, to encourage their identification with its
characters, and to practice patient, self-reflexive reading.
Finally, it traces how the Bible historiale manuscript tradition
adapts and individualizes the Bible for each new intended reader,
defying modern print-based and text-centred ideas about the Bible,
canonicity, and translation.
