TRANSLATION ACTIVITY IN LATE BYZANTINE WORLD GE...

During the late Byzantine period (1261-1453)  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 recognized that  besides
their philological importance per se  they can shed light on the cultural interactions between
late Byzantines and their neighbours or predecessors. To address this desideratum  this volume
focuses on the cultural context  the translators and the texts produced during the Palaeologan
era  extending as well till the end of 15th c. in ex-Byzantine territories. By shedding light
on the translation activity of late Byzantine scholars  this volume aims at revealing the
cultural aspect of late Byzantine openness to its neighbours.
