Translating Medicine, ca. 800–1900: Articulations and Disarticulations
Research located at the nexus of medicine and translation deals with some of the fundamentals of human experience: the basic drive to survive and flourish and the urge to gather and to share information that might assist in this. Using a series of case studies ranging from ninth-century Baghdad, to fourteenth-century Aragon, to seventeenth-century Cartagena, to nineteenth-century Bengal, this volume weaves together an interconnected, long-view hi…
Introduction: Translators and Translations of Early Modern Science
In the introduction to the German translation of Jan Baptista van Helmont’s (1579- 1644) originally Latin Ortus medicinae [The Rise of Medicine], the translator Christian Knorr von Rosenroth (1636-1689) explains that his chief aim was to make the text understandable to the reader. To accomplish that level of comprehensibility he had to make some choices

From their writings we can see that their choices were social, political, and always of high importance. The choice of language of these multilingual authors c…
