| Summary: | "From antiquity to the 16th century, translation united culturally the peoples in the historical West (from Bactria to the shores of the Atlantic) and fueled the production and circulation of knowledge. The Hellenic scientific and philosophical curriculum was translated from and into, to mention the most prevalent languages, Greek, Syriac, Middle Persian, Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin. To fill a lack in existing scholarship, this volume collects the documents that present the insider evidence provided in contemporary accounts of the motivations and purposes of translation given in the personal statements by the agents in this process, the translators, scholars, and historians of each society. Presented in the original languages with an English translation and introductory essays, these documents offer material for the study of the historical contextualization of the translations, the social history of science and philosophy in their interplay with traditional beliefs, and the cultural policies and ideological underpinnings of these societies"-- |

The Hellenic scientific and philosophical curriculum was translated from and into, to mention the most prevalent languages, Greek, Syriac, Middle Persian, Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin. To fill a lack in existing scholarship, this volume collects the documents that present the insider evidence provided in contemporary accounts of the motivations and purposes of translation given in the personal statements by the agents in this process, the translators, scholars, and historians of each society. Presented in the original languages with an English translation and introductory essays, these documents offer material for the study of the historical contextualization of the translations, the social history of science and philosophy in their interplay with traditional beliefs, and the cultural policies and ideological underpinnings of these societies"-- Beiträge englisch; längere Originaltextpassagen auf arabisch, syrisch und hebräisch Geschichte 800 v.Chr.-1600 gnd rswk-swf Übersetzung (DE-588)4061418-9 gnd rswk-swf Wissenschaft (DE-588)4066562-8 gnd rswk-swf Wissensvermittlung (DE-588)4190121-6 gnd rswk-swf Kulturvermittlung (DE-588)4165992-2 gnd rswk-swf Science / Translating / History Scientific literature / Translations / History and criticism Communication in science / History Translating and interpreting / History (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift 11.2016 Berlin gnd-content (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Übersetzung (DE-588)4061418-9 s Kulturvermittlung (DE-588)4165992-2 s Wissensvermittlung (DE-588)4190121-6 s Geschichte 800 v.Chr.-1600 z DE-604 Wissenschaft (DE-588)4066562-8 s Gutas, Dimitri 1945- (DE-588)122946243 edt win Burnett, Charles 1951- (DE-588)137454031 edt aut Vagelpohl, Uwe (DE-588)1066384339 edt aut Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe Why translate science?
