In the second millennium CE, long before English became the language of science in the twentieth century, the act of translation was crucial for understanding and disseminating knowledge and information across linguistic and geographic boundaries. This volume considers the complexities of knowledge exchange through the practice of translation over the course of a millennium, across fields of knowledge—cartography, health and medicine, material construction, astronomy—and a wide geographical range, from Eurasia to Africa and the Americas. Contributors literate in Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Minnan, Ottoman, and Persian explore the history of science in the context of world and global history, investigating global patterns and implications in a multilingual and increasingly interconnected world. Chapters reveal cosmopolitan networks of shared practice and knowledge about the natural world from 1000 to 1800 CE, emphasizing both evolving scientific exchange and the emergence of innovative science. By unraveling the role of translation in cross-cultural communication, Knowledge in Translation highlights key moments of transmission, insight, and critical interpretation across linguistic and faith communities.

Tillfälligt slut

Heavy is the crown that was never meant to be mine…The one thing I should be thinking about is escape—but I’m not. Not yet.Pretending to be my twin sister Tabra—the Queen of Aryd—is what I was trained for my entire life. Only I was supposed to be a sacrificial pawn, not take her place. But nothing happened as planned.So here I am.A false queen stuck on a throne I never wanted, pretending to be wed to the man who has been hunting and killing royals of my line for centuries, and desperately trying to find a way to stop him. All while I pretend to be enthralled by him. I’ve done such a good job acting besotted, even King Eidolon believes I’ve come under the spell of the curse that binds us. A curse meant for Tabra, not me.Meanwhile, problems are piling up like sand blown against the palace walls in a storm. My sister is dying. My amulet has gone cold. Winter is crawling over the land, turning all to frost. I’m still not sure what that damned curse is supposed to make me do.And the Shadowraith I’ve given my heart to—a man shed from Eidolon’s own shadow—is coming for me.I need more time. If I can find out what Eidolon is after, maybe I can end this. The fate of every soul in the dominions rests on me, the hidden princess who was supposed to be disposable.I don’t know how long I can keep up all these lies.

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"This story is my latest obsession." -USA Today bestselling author, Devney Perry

The gods love to play with us mere mortals. And every hundred years, we let them...

I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus.

Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won't notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus' patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god.

The worst god. Hades.
