FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to announce the 2nd International Conference Traductio et Traditio: knowledge transmission in the Middle Ages, which will take place in Alicante (at the seu universitària de la Universitat d’Alacant) on 6-8 July 2022. This meeting aims to continue promoting the lines of research and exchange opportunities generated at the 1st International Conference Traductio et Traditio Mediaevales: science, knowledge and ideology (Morella, 13-16 March 2019), organised by the research group GREMI at Universitat Jaume I.

Translating in the Middle Ages involved an intense cultural exchange and contributed to knowledge access. Translations of religious, scientific, literary or philosophical texts as well as the different linguistic traditions (Latin, Arabic, English and Romance languages, among others) which came into contact across Europe represented a remarkable effort in the dissemination of knowledge. Libraries nurtured texts of an encyclopaedic – but also literary – nature and contributed to the creation of fictional works out of historical or pseudohistorical materials.

In this second edition of the Conference, we intend to host intellectual work revolving around translation across medieval Europe. That is why the Organising Committee proposes the following lines of research:

– Translation, textual transmission and edition. History of translation.
– Poetic translation
– Religious and biblical translation
– Female translation and production
– Lost translations

It is expected that delivered papers which undergo a successful peer-review process will be published in a collective volume. More information will be made available during the Conference.
