‎Theory and Practice of Translation in the Middle Ages,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2004 Paperback, XXVI+350 p., 150 x 230 mm. ISBN 9782503510163.‎

‎The interest of the writers of these essays in the intricacies and implications of translation in the Middle Ages,or of the translation of medieval texts in the modern period, has resulted in a diverse and intellectually stimulating volume. The papers in this volume, written in either English, French, or Spanish, approach translation from a wide variety of perspectives and offer a range of interpretations of the concept of translation. The volume contains essays ranging in time from the Anglo Saxon period to the present,and in topic from medieval recipe books to arguments in favour of women administering the sacrament. Languages studied include non-European languages as well as Latin and numerous European vernaculars as both source and target languages. As any translator or student of translation quickly becomes aware, it is impossible to divorce language from culture. All the contributors to this volume struggle with the complexities of translation as a cultural act, even when the focus would seem to be specifically linguistic. It is these complexities which lend the study of the theory and practice of translation in the Middle Ages its enduring fascination. Languages : English.‎

‎Sociophilological Study of Late Latin‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2002 Hardcover. VIII 390 p., 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Latin, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503513386.‎

‎"Sociophilology" is a word coined by the author to describe a discipline which combines traditional rigorous philological analysis of texts with the recent insights of sociolinguistics. From these combined perspectives he provides an understanding both of Late Latin (Early Romance) language and of the circumstances of the scribes who have given us the evidence. The chronological span ranges from the later part of the Roman Empire to the thirteenth century. The focus is on the processes by which Latin, at different times in different places, came to be thought of as being several different languages (formal Medieval Latin and less formal Romance Languages); these conceptual distinctions are most directly represented by the decisions taken to write some texts in a new way. There are six sections in the book, each containing four chapters: Section A provides an overview, and is entitled "Latin, Medieval Latin and Romance"; B, "Texts and Language in Late Antiquity"; C, "The Ninth Century"; D, "Italy and Spain in the Tenth and Eleventh Centuries"; E, "Spain in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries"; F, "Sociophilology and Historical Linguistics"; followed by a concluding summary chapter, bibliography and indexes. Scholars and Texts investigated include Priscian, Boniface, Rhythmic Poetry, Alcuin, Eulogio de Cordoba, The Strasbourg Oaths, Glossaries, Glosses, and the earliest Romance texts of the Iberian Peninsula; general topics considered in detail, within the Late Latin and Early Romance world, include periodization, the influence of other languages on the development of Latin, change of language names, the nature of sound change, the relationship between speech and writing, the relationship between historical linguistics and sociolinguistics, and the relationship between language-internal variation and language splits.‎

‎Catalogue des fragments et manuscrits grecs du Matenadaran d'Erevan‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2008 Hardcover. 240 p., 85 b/w ill. 16 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, Languages: French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503529790.‎

‎Grace a une convention passee entre le Matenadaran d?Erevan et l?Universite d?Aix-Marseille 1, R. Varteni Chetanian a pu etablir le catalogue des manuscrits grecs et des fragments grecs presents au sein des manuscrits armeniens conserves dans la prestigieuse bibliotheque de la capitale de l?Armenie. Au cours de ses sejours a Erevan, elle a sans cesse beneficie du soutien et des conseils des bibliothecaires. Je les remercie d?avoir rendu possible l?elaboration de cet instrument de travail. La presente publication permet de faire connaitre aux chercheurs du monde entier des documents precieux, mais insuffisamment pris en compte par les hellenistes et les armenisants. En particulier, il reste beaucoup a faire dans le domaine des traductions des textes litteraires grecs en armenien. Le Catalogue de R. Varteni Chetanian, qui a par ailleurs publie une remarquable etude sur la traduction armenienne des Homelies sur les Actes des apotres de Jean Chrysostome, donne un moyen nouveau de progresser dans ce champ de recherche. C?est dire que le present Catalogue ne doit pas etre envisage comme une fin ou une cloture. Il doit au contraire etre a l?origine d?autres travaux : travaux d?edition des plus importants textes grecs exhumes par R. Varteni Chetanian ; travaux de numerisation des fragments et des manuscrits, afin de rendre possible leur consultation a distance. Jalon pour l?avenir de la recherche historique et philologique, voila comment doit etre envisage ce Catalogue. Sa confection a ete l?occasion de tisser des liens scientifiques entre l?Armenie et la France. Puissent les travaux qu?il suscitera permettre de poursuivre dans la meme voie et d?approfondir le sillon ainsi trace.‎

‎PLOT AND POINT OF VIEW IN THE ILIAD‎

‎University of Michigan Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0472107682 . Light discoloration to spine. Light edgewear to one corner of DJ. ; Plot and Point of View in the Iliad argues that Homer the poet of the Iliad may be fully distinguished from the narrator of Homeric poetry who is the Muse and also from the heroes and heroines who live within the world of the story. The Iliad is a poem with a particularly rich and complex structure of perspectives and as point of view as an element of storytelling has garnered tremendous interest in this century critical attention has taken up this question in relation to Homer's poem. Robert Rabel argues that in different ways both the Muse-narrator and the poet manipulate point of view in order to discover and define the meaning of the Iliad placing various ways of thinking in competing and complementary relationships with one another. In the process the Muse-narrator produces a sophisticated and compelling analysis of the tragic limitations of life in accordance with the heroic ethic. In the end the poet provides a demonstration of the extent to which reality can only be grasped and apprehended in epic poetry through images that are constructed from various individual perspectives. This volume will be of interest to students of comparative and classical literature philosophers and readers of Homeric epic. All Greek passages are translated and discussions of technical language are kept to a minimum. ; 1.04 x 9.31 x 6.34 Inches; 251 pages . University of Michigan Press hardcover‎
