Translatio studiorum : ancient, medieval and modern bearers of intellectual history
Sgarbi, Marco 2012 Brill's studies in intellectual history, 0920-8607 ( Serie ) Leiden ; Boston : Brill Englisch | Französisch 9789004236813 | BRILL9789004236813 AbstractThe present volume collects seventeen case studies that characterize the various kinds of translationes within European culture over the last two millennia. Intellectual identities establish themselves by means of a continuous translation and rethinking of previous meanings—a sequence of translations and transformations in the transmission of knowledge from one intellectual context to another. This book provides a view on a wide range of texts from ancient Greece to Rome, from the Medieval world to the Renaissance, indicating how the process of translatio studiorum evolves as a continuous transposition of texts, of the ways in which they are rewritten, their translations, interpretations and metamorphosis, all of which are crucial to a full understanding of intellectual history.
