In the second millennium CE, long before English became the
language of science in the twentieth century, the act of
translation was crucial for understanding and disseminating
knowledge and information across linguistic and geographic
boundaries. This volume considers the complexities of knowledge
exchange through the practice of translation over the course of a
millennium, across fields of knowledge-cartography, health and
medicine, material construction, astronomy-and a wide geographical
range, from Eurasia to Africa and the Americas. Contributors
literate in Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Italian,
Japanese, Latin, Minnan, Ottoman, and Persian explore the history
of science in the context of world and global history,
investigating global patterns and implications in a multilingual
and increasingly interconnected world. Chapters reveal cosmopolitan
networks of shared practice and knowledge about the natural world
from 1000 to 1800 CE, emphasizing both evolving scientific exchange
and the emergence of innovative science. By unraveling the role of
translation in cross-cultural communication, Knowledge in
Translation highlights key moments of transmission, insight, and
critical interpretation across linguistic and faith communities.
