Collaborative Translation And Multi-version Texts In Early Modern Europe - Beln Bistu

Focusing On Team Translation And The Production Of Multilingual Editions, And On The Difficulties These Techniques Created For Renaissance Translation Theory, This Book Offers A Study Of Textual Practices That Were Widespread In Medieval And Renaissance Europe But Have Been Excluded From Translation And Literary History. The Author Shows How Collaborative And Multilingual Translation Practices Challenge The Theoretical Reflections Of Translators, Who Persistently Call For A Translation Text That Offers A Single, Univocal Version And Maintains Unity Of Style. In Order To Explore This Tension, Bistu Discusses Multi-version Texts, In Both Manuscript And Print, From A Diverse Variety Of Genres: The Scriptures, Astrological And Astronomical Treatises, Herbals, Goliardic Poems, Pamphlets, The Greek And Roman Classics, Humanist Grammars, Geography Treatises, Pedagogical Dialogs, Proverb Collections, And Romances.
