Abstract
ABSTRACTThe paper focuses on two cases, each of them centered on two individuals, who lived approximately at the same time, between the 16th and the 17th centuries. The first, Garcilaso de la Vega, el Inca, is famous. The second, John David Rhys, is known only to scholars. Garcilaso, the son of a Spanish soldier and an Inca princess, analyzed his mother’s tongue relying upon his father’s tongue, which he used in his historical writings. John Rhys, born in Wales, studied medicine in Siena, wrote about the Italian language (in Latin) and about the Latin language (in Italian); at the end of his life, he analyzed his mother tongue. A comparison between the two cases paves the way to some general reflections on translation and related issues.
