ItemTRANSLATING THE CRUSADES. WILLIAM OF TYRE AND MATTEO MARIA BOIARDORizzi, A (UNIV STUDI PARMA, 2021-06)This article considers Matteo Maria Boiardo’s contribution to the vernacular appropriation and transmission of William of Tyre’s late twelfth-century Chronicon in Renaissance Italy. It takes a necessarily long view of the source for Boiardo’s digression on the Crusades in his translation of the Historia Imperiale. Such a view allows us to better understand the intricate, multi-lingual, and surprising textual heritage essential to his translation.

ItemInterpreting in Early Modern Diplomacy: Occasional Mobility and the Liminal Spaces of TrustRizzi, A (RENAISSANCE AND REFORMATION, 2021-12-01)In this article, I examine the relationship between mobility and trust in the work and life of a wide range of early modern diplomatic interpreters. I address this relationship by bringing together archival material unearthed by literary scholars and social historians: specifically, historians of diplomacy, translation, and interpreting. I seek to address these documents from the perspective of occasional dragomans who found themselves performing the often-dangerous role of intercultural mediation in exchange for money, an improved social status, or freedom.

ItemEditing and Translating Pliny in Renaissance Italy: Agency, collaboration and visibilityRizzi, A (Forum for Renaissance Studies, 2018)The present article applies a recent approach concerning visibility and agency articulated by Mairi McLaughlin, Theo Hermans and Sharon DeaneCox. It does so by making a case study of paratextual features of successive editions and translations of Pliny the Elder’s Natural History produced in late Quattrocento and Cinquecento Italy. The aim is to illuminate specific ways in which editors, translators or printers made themselves manifestly visible to readers, and asserted their agency by claiming different types of collaboration: synchronous (translator and printer working together on a new project), asynchronous (translator, editor or printer expressly acknowledging the work of an earlier translator or editor, whether perfunctorily or otherwise) or concealed (editors or translators availing themselves of earlier works by fellow scholars without acknowledgement). Asynchronous collaboration is an understudied aspect of Renaissance translation. This article is an attempt to fill this gap.
