Présentation de l'éditeur:

This volume presents an impressive array of instances of culturaltranslation between nations, religions, languages, genres, and media.It spans a chronological period that extends from late antiquity to thesixteenth century. Translatio, or the Transmission of Culture analysesmultiple forms of cultural transmission — the ancient and medieval artsof memory, the propagation of saints' cults, mechanisms of social andspiritual discipline, and the foundations of national identity — tooffer a rich investigation into the formulation of cultural influencein the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It explores the materials,methods, and contexts of translation through traditional philologicaland historical practices, as well as foregrounding provocative newreadings of familiar sources influenced by recent research intocognition, ideology, and gender. With something for both the seasonedscholar and the student, Translatio, or the Transmission of Culturereveals some of the processes by which meaning is re-made in thepresent from the materials of the past.
