Just as lively, however, was translation amongst Ottoman languages, and between those and the languages of their neighbours to the east. This proliferation and circulation of texts in translation and adaptation, through a range of strategies, leads us to ask: What is an 'Ottoman language'?This volume challenges earlier scholarship that has highlighted translation and adaptation from European languages to the neglect of alternative translations, re-centring translation as an Ottoman 'hub'. Collaborative work has allowed us to peer over the shoulders of working translators to ask how they creatively transported texts between as well as beyond Ottoman languages, with a range of studies stretching linguistically and geographically from Bengal to London, Istanbul to Paris, Andalusia to Bosnia.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmContributor: Marilyn Booth (Edited by), Claire Savina (Edited by)Genre: HistoryBook Series: Edinburgh Studies on the Ottoman EmpireAuthor: Marilyn BoothRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
