Description

Book Synopsis
Latin translations of Greek works have received much less attention than vernacular translations of classical works. This book examines the work of three Latin translators of the Renaissance and attempts to provide a broad perspective on the development of Latin writing about translation by drawing together the ideas of these three very different translators.

Trade Review
'This book, though extremely detailed, is very well written. It is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the way in which Greek studies began in Western Europe, and the part Latin played in this process. It will also be of great value to anyone who is interested in translation studies, because the author spends time analysing both the theory and the practice of his exempla.' Classics Ireland
