It traces in chronological order the progress of his Greek studies and the publication history of his translations from Greek into Latin; these included selections from the works of Libanius, Euripides, Plutarch, Lucian, Galen, Isocrates and Xenophon. It also illustrates Erasmus? methods with appropriate examples from his own texts and from those of his predecessors and contemporaries. In so doing it provides an overview of the state of Greek literature in the Renaissance.Erasmus shifted from literal translation to a more liberal approach ? a change in attitude that was accompanied by a redefinition of his role as translator. In his early work he had pursued private goals, regarding his versions from secular authors as private pieces for his magnum opus, the New Testament. In later years his approach became more reader-oriented. He saw his work in terms of a service to scholarship ? making Greek literature accessible to Latin readers and acting as their guide to classical thought. He was concerned not only with the mechanics of conveying the factual contents and literary qualities of the original, but also with the applicability of its moral content to Christian philosophy.This book includes a chapter on Erasmus? New Testament version; by allowing a fuller evaluation of Erasmus? contribution to philology, this subject adds an important dimension to the book. Erasmus? translations of Greek texts reflect two concerns that dominated his life. As an educator he wanted to see classical philology firmly established in the curriculum of schools; as a Christian humanist he wanted to convince biblical scholars that it was an indispensable tool of their profession. 410 0$aErasmus studies. 606 $aTranslating and interpreting$zNetherlands$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aGreek literature$xTranslations into Latin$xHistory and criticism 606 $aClassical literature$xTranslations$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGreek language$xTranslating into Latin$xHistory 606 $aGreek language$xTranslating into Latin 606 $aClassical languages$xTranslating 606 $aHumanists$zNetherlands 607 $aNetherlands$xIntellectual life$y16th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTranslating and interpreting$xHistory 615 0$aGreek literature$xTranslations into Latin$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aClassical literature$xTranslations$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGreek language$xTranslating into Latin$xHistory. 615 0$aGreek language$xTranslating into Latin. 615 0$aClassical languages$xTranslating. 615 0$aHumanists 676 $a199/.492 700 $aRummel$b Erika$f1942-$0241655 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455797203321 996 $aErasmus as a translator of the classics$91380828 997 $aUNINA
