Principal and Representative Translations; Works Cited; Index; About the AuthorThe variety of medieval translation among the English, and among those translators working in the greater empires of Cnut, the Normans, and the Angevins, is remarkable. Reversing Babel does not try to describe all of it; rather, it charts a course through the evidence and tries to answer the fundamental questions medieval historians should ask when their sources are medieval translations.Translating and interpretingHistoryTo 1500Civilization, MedievalLiterature, MedievalTranslationsHistory and criticismElectronic books.Translating and interpretingHistoryCivilization, Medieval.Literature, MedievalHistory and criticism.418/.02094209021O'Brien Bruce R871568MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456398903321Reversing Babel1945586UNINA
