Translation Activity in Late Byzantium. An International Conference

Ca' Foscari, aula Baratto

June 11th-13th, 2018

During the last two Byzantine centuries, a significant number of texts were translated from Latin, but also from Arabic and other languages, into Greek. Most of them are still unedited or available in editions that do not meet the modern academic criteria. Nowadays, these translations are attracting scholarly attention, as it is widely recognised that, besides their philological importance per se, they can shed light on the cultural interactions between Late Byzantines and their neighbours or predecessors. This conference aims at addressing this desideratum.   

Organizing Committee:
Prof. Antonio Rigo (Venice)
Prof. Brigitte Mondrain (Paris)
Dr. Panagiotis Ch. Athanasopoulos (Venice)

This Conference falls under the dissemination activities of the project “Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae Ia IIae translated by Demetrius Cydones and Bessarion’s incomplete Compendium of the translation - A Critical Editio Princeps” (TASTGCEP). This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 703595.
