After Marracci: The Reception of Ludovico Marracci's Edition of The Qur'an in Northern Europe from the Late Seventeenth to the Early Nineteenth Centuries

The Latin Qur'an translation by Ludovico Marracci (1612–1700), which finally appeared in 1698, not only dwarfed all previous translations but dominated all future Qur'an translation projects for over a century to come. Although objections might be made to Marracci's style, and although later Arabists might disagree with certain points in his bilingual edition (above all in his commentaries), whenever they had recourse to tafsīrs they almost invariably took their quotations from Marracci's Alcorani textus universus and even their translations tended to follow Marracci closely. This article explores the reception of Marracci's translation in Northern Europe, especially in Germany, the Low Countries, and England, from its appearance until the early nineteenth century when certain—but by no means all—translators started to pursue an independent course. Some, such as Augusti, Hammer Purgstall, and Friedrich Rückert, would endeavour to translate the Qur'an in verse, while a scholar like Johann David Michaelis had deviated from Marracci by trying to do without tafsīr. Generally speaking, the attitude to Marracci, especially in Protestant Germany, was one of rivalry tempered by admiration. Marracci's own generous response to one of his critics and would-be rivals, Andreas Acoluthus (1654–1704) from Breslau, is recorded in a rare fragment from their correspondence reproduced in the Appendix.

What politics where breath fractures?: (in)translation and the poetics of difference

ABSTRACTThe book Secession/Insecession, published in 2014, consists of two texts that face each other in the style of conventional bilingual editions of poetry: a translation by Canadian poet Erín Moure of Secesión – originally written in Galician by Spanish poet Chus Pato – and Moure’s intranslation, her response to her own rendition of the original text. Secession/Insecession therefore diverges from the standard bilingual edition that it resembles; rather than a translation that faces an original text, it is a translation that faces a response, both written in the same language. In line with Paul Celan’s notion of Atemwende or breathturn, the book deploys various forms of interruption and difference: ruptured testimonies, fragmented quotations, broken dialogues, unanswered apostrophes, divided names, and intranslations. This article explores the sense of the political that can be traced in Secession/Insecession in view of the poetics of difference that shapes Moure’s (in)translation of Pato’s Secesión.

Recherchen zu „Teil II“ der Philosophischen Untersuchungen und zur von Wittgenstein erstellten „C-Sammlung“ im Nachlass

Abstract:In 1953 — two years after Wittgenstein’s death — the Philosophical Investigations as we know them today have been published in a bilingual (German-English) edition by Elizabeth Anscombe and Rush Rhees. This publication is divided into two parts – entitled “Part I” and “Part II”. In the revised 4th edition by Peter Hacker and Joachim Schulte from 2009 the title “Part II” was deleted and renamed to “Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychology — A Fragment”. This article presents some new research results about the genesis of the Philosophical Investigations in general and about “Part II” / “A Fragment” in particular. Furthermore, the so-called “C-Collection” arranged by Wittgenstein himself will be introduced in detail.

The Norman Chronicles

poetry The Norman Chronicles by Chantal Bizzini At the Dump Before the road bends, at the end of a wide path soaked by melted snow, you could hear the blasts. There, late at night, a man whose mind is not all there had climbed atop a garbage heap and stood, wild and overjoyed, facing a fire, tossing into it aerosol cans that exploded splendidly – alone, on this final night of the year. His boss was a good guy: every day, he picked him up and took him there. The Wall of the Barn That barn – I don’t remember it. Made of millstone, vast and rectangular, two symmetrical windows framed in brick; and now, it’s like a dream, a dream told about a morning, a dawn when the Fates lean over, and, in a sort of warning, announce the imminent death of an entire family, or village; when the fire started, everyone in the house was asleep, and maybe it was then the villagers saw from a distance the hungry flames seize the hay, the woods, and the whole blackening structure; heard the devouring, the screams, the chaotic footsteps; and, in the night, saw the false dawn of that unbearable heat that doesn’t mean morning but hell.

Juliet of the Tropics: A Bilingual Edition with an Introduction of Alejandro Tapia y Rivera's by John Maddox

Introduction: Philosophy On Stage: The Concept of Immanence in Contemporary Art and Philosophy

This special issue of the Performance Philosophy journal—the first bilingual edition in German and English—is one output of the research project “Artist-Philosophers. Philosophy AS Arts-based Research”, funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF): AR275-G21 in the context of the Programme for Arts-based Research (PEEK). A main question of the project was: “What happens to the traditional image of philosophy, once philosophers start to stage philosophy and implement arts-based practices into their discipline?” Starting from the philosophical assumption that meanings and possibilities are generated immanently out of the differential relations somebody shares with others within a concrete earthly milieu, we realised two main events in the course of the above-mentioned research project, on which this publication is based: The research festival Philosophy on Stage #4 „Artist-Philosophers. Nietzsche et cetera“ at Tanzquartier Wien in November 2015 and the conference “The Concept of Immanence in Philosophy and the Arts” at Angewandte Innovation Lab (AIL) Vienna. This issue of the Performance Philosophy Journal comprises texts by: Arno Böhler, Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca, Paulo de Assis, Susanne Valerie Granzer, Alice Lagaay, Dieter Mersch, John Ó Maoilearca, Freddie Rokem, Elisabeth Schäfer, Andreas Urs Sommer, Marcus Steinweg, Tanja Traxler, Stephen Zepke.

Among the works of the text tradition of this treatise, the Latin translation made by the German philologist and philosopher Johan Theophile Buhle is one scholarly work of the age of Enlightenment, which is in this study contrastively edited together with the Greek original text.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PUBLISHING HOUSE OF LATGALE CULTURE CENTRE IN THE 90TIES OF 20TH CENTURY: DISCOURSE OF LANGUAGE

Considering that at the moment we are working on a broader study about the Latgalian literary trends in modern times (since the 90s of the 20th century), policy determination of the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre is an important stage in Latgalian publishing. Originally the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre brings together the brightest Latgalian writers, researchers and is the only centre of books published in Latgalian, but at the turn of the century due to various factors the situation changes. In this article correspondence of the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre (1990–1997) is used as a source of research from copies of letters which are kept at the research centre of Baltic philology at Rēzekne Academy of Technologies (21 sets of letters with a 191 letters); an interview with the Head of the publishing house Jānis Elksnis and separate articles in periodicals on the activity of the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre are sources of this research. The aim of this article is with the help of the mentioned correspondence and available documents to reveal the book publishing policy of the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre, its role in Latgalian book publishing, as well as to focus attention on the understanding of the functionality of Latgalian language development in this correspondence and operating policies. Theoretical basis includes ideas of critical discourse analysis represented by Norman Fairclough (1995) and socio-cognitive approach represented by Teun van Dijk (2006), highlighting the role of discursive practices in creating stereotypes and influence of social identity on the creation of specific ideology.Existence of the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre all this time, of course, is the merit of the dedication and enthusiasm of the head of the publishing house J. Elksnis. In literary critical terminology, we can say that all the time the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre is in a border situation: during the 90s of the 20th century there were a relatively large number of Latgalian writers and scientists, but the publishing, book distribution, marketing skills of the publishing house employees were negligible.This situation was more favourable for Latgalian literature and activity of the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre in general during the first decade (1999–2008) of the 21st century: the total number of books published: 241; books published in Latgalian: 81; 5 of them published repeatedly. Throughout the period of existence of this publishing house (according to the available data) 562 books were published, 135 of them in Latgalian or bilingual editions (18 books published repeatedly).Analysis of the correspondence gives a possibility to understand why many problems connected to the Latgalian culture and language are being dealt with so slowly or continue to be unimportant and unknown to wider public.First, assessing the initial stage of activity of the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre, it comes obvious that efforts of the non-governmental organizations, dedication and enthusiasm of individual personalities can explain or activate some process, but the solution of the problem or maintenance of a process in long term needs a broader institutional support and focused planning of publishing. On the one hand, the formally defined status of Latgalian “as a historical option of the Latvian language” does not create obstacles for the usage of Latgalian in further and optional education, publishing of books and periodicals and its usage in local municipalities. On the other hand, such status is like a throwback which is remembered about only during pre-election and in discourse on separatism and as a threat to the development of the Latvian literary language and as a tool for entertainment industry to create comical effect or contribute to the development of pop music in another region.Second, the internal disagreement, which emerged in the correspondence between freelancers and volunteers during the 90s, was mainly attributable to the language reform and divided the intellectuals who wrote and read in Latgalian, as a result of which most of elder generation authors protected catholic standards and stood up for the preservation of P. Strods’ writing and V. Locis’ traditions, as well as it was supported by the catholic church in their choice of language to print religious texts, and it was also adopted by the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre. Hence the main mission of the Publishing House of Latgale Culture Centre – to cultivate Latgalian language and develop literature – was functioning only in one direction (especially after the adoption of spelling rules in 2008) – maintenance of literary almanac “Olūts” and edition “Tāvu zemes calendars” and creating the background literature, which in fact promoted the so-called third dialect and prevented the young and middle generation from involvement in the development Latgalian cultural environment.

Translate and assimilate? The selected verse of Vicent Andrés Estellés in English

Informed by Gideon Toury’s descriptive approach and Even-Zohar’s polysystems, this article concerns itself with a holistic consideration of the environmental pressures which circumscribe the experience in the specific case of translation from a minority language (Catalan) to the lingua franca of the modern age. The bi-lingual edition of the selected verse of Vicent Andrés Estellés (2013) is posited not only as an example of the varied ideological positionings which separate and unite the creative art of the Valencian and his similarly combative counterparts from the North of Ireland (Kavanagh and Heaney) but also as a marker which reveals the limitations of the introspective exclusivity of the Catalan critical tradition when contrasted with the exogamy of the Anglo-American convention. The binaries predicted by polysystemic theory – centre versus periphery, unity versus diversity, officiality versus heterodoxy, etc. – attest to the wealth of this artistic interplay as understood in the Anglo-Irish context whilst offering an appreciation of the deficiencies of the process of literary reception in Catalonia as epitomised by the domestic incapacity to assimilate fully the genius of the Valencian writer.

In Other Words by Jhumpa Lahiri

Rodrigo takes the box with Adriana’s few belongings to her building. Her new building. The super gives him an unwelcoming look. Who’s it from (he asks). She’ll know (Rodrigo replies). He walks away slowly. It’s as if he could suddenly breathe again. He just let go of a very important part of his past; he has also just quit his job. Tomorrow, he’ll move away; he’ll go backpacking through that same country he’s been putting off since he was seventeen. His boss didn’t seem surprised by his decision. She did ask him if he was okay. If everything was “in order”; those were her exact words. Truthfully, Rodrigo didn’t know. Nothing felt in order. Actually, everything seemed to be in the disorder he needed, a disorder that made him feel comfortable . Calm. He hasn’t been able to get a song out of his head for a while: “You Are a Tourist,” by Death Cab for Cutie. If someone was filming this episode of his life, that would be the chosen song for the soundtrack. A strangely encouraging song. And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born Then it’s time to go. (Rodrigo looks up the video on YouTube. He posts it on Twitter.) And define your destination There’s so many different places to call home. Rodrigo walks slowly, with his headphones on. Seems like everything is going to be all right. Julia is looking for a red pair of shoes. It’s the final touch of her transformation. It’s winter, and in Santiago all the stores are filled with boots and warm shoes. Nothing like what she’s looking for. She keeps walking. If she could choose, Julia would live forever in one single memory. The first birthday she spent with Andrés. The apartment was full of people, and Andrés had looked for her among everyone, and gave her the look. The knowing look. Closing his eyes. One, two, three times. (And the world was good again, complete. Nothing to fear.) Other birthdays followed with or without looks, more or less happy. Some rather miserable, too. But Julia seemed to have left a small anchor on that day, that night. And she wouldn’t budge. It was that memory which was playing nonstop in her head every morning, under the shower; the dream WORLDLIT.ORG 21 In Other Words Jhumpa Lahiri Trans. Ann Goldstein Knopf, 2016 Jhumpa Lahiri’s In Other Words is a vulnerable journey of selfexploration by means of linguistic exile. It’s notably her first book written in Italian and her first autobiographical work. Letting go of her foothold in English, she invites the reader on a steadfast pursuit to master the Italian language, and along the way she shares how language has played a role in her perceptions of the world and, likewise, how the world perceives her. This bilingual edition of her book allows novice learners of the language (like myself) to read her original Italian and experience her metaphors for learning a new language firsthand. Akin to swimming in a lake, she describes abandoning the shore to swim across as total immersion. I often found myself “hugging that shore” of Ann Goldstein ’s English translation, but reading in this way allows the reader to relate with the joys and frustrations of learning a new language with clarity. She explains that to live without your own language is to “feel weightless, and, at the same time, overloaded”—like breathing the air of “a different altitude.” Her Italian vernacular is (as she notes) not particularly ornate, but in this way her succinct vocabulary makes the text accessible. And she compares this exposed, juvenile writing to Henri Matisse’s foray into “painting with scissors,” when he started creating art with bits of cut, painted paper. Skeptics might question artists for abandoning the tools they know for the ones they don’t, but in both cases a new voice in the artist’s repertoire is born. “Writing in another language,” Lahiri says, “represents an act of demolition, a new beginning.” This fresh start also explains her pursuit...

Fernando Castanedo, ed. and trans., &lt;i&gt;William Blake, Una isla en la luna&lt;/i&gt;

Fernando Castanedo’s bilingual edition of William Blake’s An Island in the Moon is an extraordinary and definitive contribution to the reception of the English author in Spain. Thanks to this volume, all of Blake’s literary works are now available in Spanish. Moreover, Castanedo’s insightful introduction constitutes the only scholarly work on Blake’s satire to originate in Spain. Before that, An Island had been almost entirely overlooked by Spanish literary scholars and translators. It had never been mentioned or translated previously, with two minor exceptions.

Journal d’automne de Louis MacNeice

Louis MacNeice’s long poem Autumn Journal appeared in 1939, to be finally translated into French by Adolphe Haberer and published in 2013 by Editions Anagrammes as a bilingual edition, in its entirety. Individual sections only of this poem have appeared in earlier published translations in France. The journal consists of MacNeice’s reflections on autumn 1938 as it unfolded, both personal and political, and thus it is valuable as a poetic and historic ...

Themersonowie i Witkacy, czyli nieeuklidesowa przygoda smoka Żabrołaka

Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz and Franciszka and Stefan Themerson constitute a rare constellation of outstanding artists of the 20th century avant-garde. Their best known contributions were a concept of Pure Formand an idea of Semantic Poetry respectively. They all shared multiplicity and diversity of interests and areas of not only artistic activities. Philosophy and science influenced to large extent form and content of their works. Despite their mutual interest in each other’s work they had never met personally and no correspondence between them was found. However similarities in attitudes resulted then in intertwining of their paths of artistic development. One of early Stefan Themerson’s novels featured strong influence of Witkacy works but all his later writings were fully original and individual. However the author believes one can still find some flavours, tones and traces leading to the oeuvre of the author of Insatiability . After leaving Poland in 1938 Themersons had still maintained their interest in Witkiewicz works what finally led to translation and preparation for publishing by Gaberbocchus Press of his two plays – Gyubal Wahazar and Mother featuring Franciszka’s drawings. A brief review of Gaberbocchus Press achievements and resources of the Themersons Archive, established by Jasia Reichardt after their death, constitute a background for an analysis of relationships between Witkacy and Themersons. The fact National Library in Warsaw acquired Themersons heritage alleviated very much access to many very interesting source documents. The author focused on a part of the Archive related to the all aspects of Witkacy’s works. Typescripts of publication ready translated and adapted plays, Vahazar and Mother , which finally remained not published by the Gaberbocchus Press triggered an idea to take up the challenge of publishing a “bestlooker” today. A draft of a bibliophilic bilingual edition of the Gyubal Wahazar drama illustrated with Franciszka Themerson’s drawings (samples are included in the paper) is proposed as a final thought.

Forschen ohne historisch-kritische Textgrundlage: der Dekretalenteil der Collectio Hispana

Abstract Research on the decretal part of the Collectio Hispana. The essay considers the question how to deal with the divergent state of the edition of the various parts of the Collectio Hispana. The major part of the collection is already available in a historico-critical edition by Martínez Díez/ Rodríguez, while it is still necessary to consult the bilingual edition of Vives for some councils and the edition of González, which dates from the beginning of the 19th century, for the decretals. Based on two selected decretals (which are printed in the appendix) a possible handling of this problem will be presented: The edition by González is compared with four selected manuscripts to verify the reliability of the text. Thereby, a precautious usage of his compilation will be recommended: Apparently the text as a whole is reliable. The two major problems are the normalized spelling making the edition unusable for philological questions, as well as González’ choosing of a Leithandschrift in which the decretals and their index appear in a form differing substantially from the other manuscripts. Therefore, the appearance of this part within the edition does not correspond to the majority of its manuscripts.
