Reversing Babel

Translation Among the English During an Age of Conquests, C. 800 to C. 1200

Beschreibung

The variety of medieval translation among the English, and among those translators working in the greater empires of Cnut, the Normans, and the Angevins, is remarkable. Reversing Babel charts a course through the evidence and tries to answer the fundamental questions medieval historians should ask when their sources are medieval translations.
