Translation and the Truth of History Thucydides between Valla and Hobbes【電子書籍】[ Jos? Mar?a P?rez Fern?ndez ]

＜p＞This book tells the material and intellectual history of several translations of Thucydides' ＜em＞History of the Peloponnesian War,＜/em＞ from Lorenzo Valla's first Latin rendering in 1452, to the publication of Thomas Hobbes' English version in 1629. As Valla's manuscript passed through the hands of several editors and publishers who rendered it into print, the ＜em＞History of the Peloponnesian War＜/em＞ also underwent a series of significant adaptations and changes, most telling in the vernacular versions in French (Claude de Seyssel, 1527), Italian (Francesco Strozzi, 1545), English (Thomas Nicholls, 1550), and Spanish (Diego Graci?n, 1564) that eventually emerged. These translations were often motivated by various political or expedient uses, which the format of the printed manuscripts reveals. The book concludes with an in-depth look at the debut in print of one the most relevant political philosophers of modernity, Thomas Hobbes' ＜em＞Eight Bookes of the Peloponnesian Warre＜/em＞.
