Online-Repertorium Deutsche Antikenübersetzung 1501–1620/Online Repertory of German Translations of Classical Antiquity 1501–1620
摘要
This chapter presents the ORDA16 project, which aims to provide a complete repertory documenting the transmission of translations of ancient Latin and Greek literature into German between 1501 and 1620. The repertory captures for the first time the exact quantity of texts written in classical and late antiquity (until c.600 AD) that were translated in the German-speaking countries in the period of Humanism and the Reformation. These translations of ancient works mark the starting point of the cultural practice of translation which became pivotal for early modern culture. Information about the translations will be presented in an openly accessible, persistent relational data base which can be searched by categories such as author, title, translator, contributor, dedicatee, place of publication, printer, publisher, and year of publication.
