Hostili praedo ditetur lingua latina: Conceptual Narratives of Translation in the Latin Middle Ages ()
S. 121 - 139doi:10.1553/medievalworlds_no12_2020s121 Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften doi:10.1553/medievalworlds_no12_2020s121
Abstract: This article is an experiment: it attempts to look at medieval Latin translation practices through the lenses of a modern sociological theory of narrative. It argues that topoi found in translation prefaces are key elements of narratives that explain why the act of translation is necessary at all. The article identifies three such narratives, and elaborates in particular on one of them, which describes translation with the help of bellic metaphors. Keywords: narrative; translation; topos; Latin; conflict Published Online: 2020/11/30 15:11:23 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5572 0x003c096d Rights: .
medieval worlds provides a forum for comparative, interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Its aim is to overcome disciplinary boundaries, regional limits and national research traditions in Medieval Studies, to open up new spaces for discussion, and to help developing global perspectives. We focus on the period from c. 400 to 1500 CE but do not stick to rigid periodization.
