Beskrivning
This interdisciplinary volume focuses on the translations, transformations, and adaptations of religious texts across cultural and linguistic boundaries in the early modern world.From Europe to Asia to the Americas to Africa, this book casts a wide net. Avoiding Eurocentric models centered around nation states and national languages it brings different languages, cultures, and religions into dialogue with one another by focusing on the practical goals, strategies, and uses of translation. This approach demonstrates how translations contained the cultural and religious influences of the translators themselves and were used for a variety of purposes. This juxtaposition of polycentric sites of engagement reveals unexpected commonalities, with similar patterns unfolding in very different contexts. Prominent international scholars contribute chapters investigating not only theological texts, but also alchemical books, songs, and even visual images that were deployed in translations.Religious Translation in the Early Modern Global World is essential reading for students and researchers of early modern history, cultural history, and the history of texts and print.

"This is a landmark book. Translation is such an important subject, and Lucinda Martin has assembled here a most impressive cast of experts for what is a compendious global sequence of fascinating case studies. This book will be indispensable to anyone interested in the history of communication." - Andrew Pettegree, Professor of Modern History, University of St Andrews"We all need translation—across languages, cultures, and religions. This rich volume shows how strategies of translation have shaped our world since the late Middle Ages. The expert contributions reveal striking instances of cultural and religious interaction across the globe. I learned something on every page." - Volker Leppin, Yale Divinity School"This volume compellingly demonstrates that religion and translation were deeply intertwined in the Early Modern period. A group of renowned intellectual historians traces these entanglements across a wide geographic range—from Japan to Mexico, from the Islamic world to China—making the book as enlightening as it is enjoyable." - Martin Mulsow, Gotha Research Centre, University of Erfurt
