From its modern origins in seventeenth-century France, encyclopedic compilations met the need for the dissemination of information in a more flexible format, one that eschewed the limits of previous centuries of erudition. The rise of vernacular languages dovetailed with the demand for information in every sector, sparking competition among nations to establish the encyclopedic "paper empires" that became symbols of power and potential. In this edited collection, Clorinda Donato and Hans-Ju?rgen Lu?sebrink evaluate the long-overlooked phenomenon of knowledge creation and transfer that occurred in hundreds of translated encyclopedic compilations over the long eighteenth century. Analysing multiple instances of translated compilations, Translation and Transfer of Knowledge in Encyclopedic Compilations, 1680-1830 expands into the vast realm of the multilingual, encyclopedic compilation, the most tangible proof of the global enlightenment. Through the presentation of an extensive corpus of translated compilations, it argues that the true site of knowledge transfer resided in the transnational movement of ideas exemplified by these compendia. The encyclopedia came to represent the aspiring nation as a viable economic and political player on the world stage; the capability to tell knowledge through culture became the hallmark of a nation's cultural capital, symbolic of its might and mapping the how, why, and where of the global eighteenth century. 410 $aUCLA Clark Memorial Library Series 606 $aLiterary Criticism / Modern / 18th Century$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterary Criticism / European / German$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterary Criticism / European / French$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 610 $aDiderot. 610 $aItalian enlightenment. 610 $abook history. 610 $aencyclopedic compilations. 610 $ageography of the book. 610 $aiberoamerican enlightenment. 610 $along eighteenth century. 610 $atranslated encyclopedias. 610 $atransnational enlightenment. 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / Modern / 18th Century 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / European / German 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / European / French 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 702 $aDonato$b Clorinda 702 $aLu?sebrink$b Hans-Ju?rgen 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996580166703316 996 $aTranslation and Transfer of Knowledge in Encyclopedic Compilations$92987009 997 $aUNISA
