Reihe: Übersetzungskulturen der Frühen Neuzeit

This open-access volume explores how digital resources and methods can be usefully employed for research on early modern translation. The volume focuses mainly on digital resources, and features a number of chapters on translation-specific resources written by members of the teams leading the projects. The resources presented here encompass translations into and/or out of Greek, Latin, the European vernaculars, and Jewish languages (Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino and Judeo-Italian) and different corpora including plays, encyclopedias, and ‘radical’ texts. While the use of digital methods to analyse early modern translations is still in its early stages, the volume also considers how methods such as data visualisation could shed new light on translation phenomena.
