Centuries before the appearance of the first extant vernacular documents, bilingualism, and preferably trilingualism, was a necessity in the scriptorium and chancery; and since the emergence of Romance had rendered the entire corpus of classical literature incomprehensible to all but the literati, both old and new worlds awaited (re)discovery or, to use Jerome's metaphor, conquest. The diversity of medieval translation is illustrated, although not encompassed, by the diversity of chapters in the present volume. Authors treat the methods and reception of translators of vernacular to Latin and vernacular to vernacular, texts of a variety of genres and many different languages and periods. The collection will present a welcome offering of different scholarly approaches to the critical issue of medieval translators and their craft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslation and Innovation in the \u003cem\u003eRoman de Brut\u003c\/em\u003e by Nancy Vine Durling Five Old French Renderings of the \u003cem\u003ePassio Sancte Katerine Virginis\u003c\/em\u003e by William MacBain The Old French Cistercian Translations by Robert Taylor Apocryphal Narrative Elements in the \u003cem\u003eGenesis\u003c\/em\u003e of the Middle Low German \u003cem\u003eHistorienbibel\u003c\/em\u003e Helmstedt 611.1 by Patricia A.
