Early Modern Translation and the Digital Humanities
This open-access volume explores how digital resources and methods can be usefully employed for research on early modern translation. The volume focuses mainly on digital resources, and features a number of chapters on translation-specific resources written by members of the teams leading the projects. The resources presented here encompass translations into and/or out of Greek, Latin, the European vernaculars, and Jewish languages (Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino and Judeo-Italian) and different corpora including plays, encyclopedias, and ‘radical’ texts. While the use of digital methods to analyse early modern translations is still in its early stages, the volume also considers how methods such as data visualisation could shed new light on translation phenomena.
Translation and Transfer of Knowledge in Encyclopedic Compilations, 1680–1830
With a focus on the economic, social, and political impetus for producing monuments to knowledge, this volume recognizes the encyclopedic compilation as the quintessential tool of enlightenment knowledge transfer.
Beyond Exceptionalism
While the economic involvement of early modern Germany in slavery and the slave trade is increasingly receiving attention, the direct participation of Germans in human trafficking remains a blind spot in historiography. This edited volume focuses on practices of enslavement taking place within German territories in the early modern period as well as on the people of African, Asian, and Native American descent caught up in them.
Between Encyclopedia and Chorography
During the early modern period, regional specified compendia – which combine information on local moral and natural history, towns and fortifications with historiography, antiquarianism, images series or maps – gain a new agency in the production of knowledge. Via literary and aesthetic practices, the compilations construct a display of regional specified knowledge. In some cases this display of regional knowledge is presented as a display of a local cultural identity and is linked to early modern practices of comparing and classifying civilizations. At the core of the publication are compendia on the Americas which research has described as chorographies, encyclopeadias or – more recently – 'cultural encyclopaedias'. Studies on Asian and European encyclopeadias, universal histories and chorographies help to contextualize the American examples in the broader field of an early modern and transcultural knowledge production, which inherits and modifies the ancient and medieval tradition.
