FROM POLISH TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING STUDIES: UNPUBLISHED DOCTORAL THESES (1874-2010) The present publication, the first in a planned series, presents the achievements of Polish translation scholars collected in the form of unpublished doctoral dissertations. An integral part of the study is a list of doctoral dissertations written from the second half of the 19th century to the end of the first decade of the present millennium (1874-2010), registering 136 years of Polish translation studies: the stage of early scientific development, the formation of the discipline, and the gradual achievement of maturity. During the period under study, 374 translation and interpreting studies dissertations were registered, defended at Polish universities and research institutes, disciplinary related to literary studies, linguistics, library science, theological and legal sciences. The created bibliographic database serves as a starting point for searching for sources and tracking the dynamics of the development of Polish studies on broadly understood translation and interpreting studies. It represents an attempt to illustrate their polydisciplinarity, subject diversity, and methodological heterogeneity.

This paper aims to emphasize the role of the late Professor Eugen Simion in stimulating research on the works of Dimitrie Cantemir, thus continuing the first project of the Romanian Academy. His project started in 2003, with the republication of the Romanian works of the Prince, and continued between 2014 and 2020, bringing to the public new editions and new translations. This paper will also underline some of the discoveries regarding Cantemir’s bibliography, such as the impact of the compilation Machumetis Saracenorum principis eiusque successorum vitae ac doctrina ipseque Alcoran (1543) or of the works by Petrus Berchorius, Petrus Galtruchius, Nicephoros Blemmidas etc. These critical editions could stimulate future research on Cantemir’s intense and diverse scientific works.

This paper proposes some reflections on the peculiarities and main critical issues of Wikipedia, with particular reference to the study of music history. The entry on Alessandro Scarlatti will be used as a specific case. The main stages in the evolution of this entry are traced, starting with an analysis of the comments posted on the “discussion” page and the changes made by users. General reflections will then be made, based on a comparison with the corresponding entry of a “traditional”, authoritative project: the Dizionario biografico degli Italiani.

The discipline of Translation Studies has been criticized for being limited to only Euro-American perspectives and cultures, and thus scholars have called for expanding the scope of study beyond the Western conceptualizations of translation. This paper attempts to fill that void in the knowledge of the translation archaeology of Arabic novels translated into English. It creates an up-to-date bibliography of Arabic novels translated into English published worldwide across three decades (1988–2018) by consulting the US Library of Congress global union library catalogue and Good­reads. The collected materials are presented across two major historical periods: the post-Nobel Prize phase (1988–August 2001) and the post-9/11 phase (September 2001–2018). The bibliography includes 277 translated Arabic novels. It identifies the main actors involved in the process of translation, namely the authors, translators, and publishers. In addition to the quantitative analysis of this bibliographical data, this study adopts a comprehensive model by Allen (1995) to apply qualitative analysis to identify the topics being selected for translation into English. The study reveals that an increase in the number of translated works does not necessarily correlate with a greater understanding of the source text culture. In fact, increased translation flows can signal a reinforcement of known cultural stereotypes in the target culture.

The various pairing systems for European Picidae are presented on the basis of the most exhaustive bibliographical review possible. Social monogamy appears to be the rule, largely due to the male investment in reproduction, which is equal to or even greater than that of the female in Woodpeckers. Other systems have also been observed on an often ad hoc basis: polyandry, polygyny, cooperative reproduction and egg-laying parasitism. We insist that ecological or other reasons will have led to these unusual modes. In the appendix, a list of non-European Picidae is presented with related bibliography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Editorial in English and German on the technical infrastructures relevant for translation history. The editors share an invitation to make use of the Digital Library and Bibliography of Literature in Translation (DLBT) and discuss the needs of translation historians and the trends in translation history in regards to principles of open science and communism as described by Robert Merton.

The article explores the phenomenon of imitated newspapers, examining their historical context, typology, and the challenges in documenting them. It discusses how these imitations, borrowing titles and formats from existing periodicals, have been an integral part of media history since the 17th century. It emphasizes the difficulty in bibliographic categorization due to the need for decoding and documentation.

The article provides a detailed review of the recent catalog from Librairie Pierre Saunier, titled "Dans les feuilles de bibassier" (March 2022). It emphasizes the exquisite presentation, valuable bibliographic information, and the inclusion of works by lesser-known authors alongside prestigious ones. It delves into Edmond Duranty's notable works, shedding light on his diverse literary contributions.

The bibliography includes the published works of Grzegorz Bugajak.

The Catálogo de manuscritos especiales de España, anteriores al año 1600, que logró juntar en la mayor parte un curioso andaluz, is the long title of an anonymous and undated work, which has traditionally been considered an inventory made in 1804 of a mysterious library of which nothing is clarified un-til present although it is believed that behind this “curioso andaluz” hides Argote de Molina from Seville. In the following lines, we will show that the Catálogo is not more than a simple list of manuscript titles that is anonymous author extracted from various written sources, some of which are showed now

The article delves into a bibliographic controversy surrounding the original editions of "Les Trophées" by José Maria de Heredia. It recounts how Fernand Vandérem, in his role at the Bulletin du bibliophile, attempted to challenge established beliefs about the three recognized states of the original edition. It mentioned that Vandérem claimed a previously undisclosed original edition, triggering a debate with questionable foundations.

Portrait of the Catalan historian Josep Fontana (Barcelona, 1931 - 2018), through a biographical approach to his intellectual training, political commitment, academic practice, research background and editorial work. Through this biographical journey we want to emphasize the coherence of his historiographic approach, his professional career and his influence beyond the strict historiographic field.

The article depicts the evolution and state of the art of the publications (books and chapters) on Translation and Interpretation Studies (TIS) published in and about Hispanic America. Information is drawn upon from BITRA (a TIS specialized database) and publication count methods are applied. The results reveal an increase of productivity rates mainly from the mid-1980s on, a ten-year delay in the region, and the confirmation of specialists in and about Hispanic America. Results also point out the predominance of literary themes, case studies and historical issues, and of non-specialized publishing houses and Spanish when it comes to publishing.

In Córdoba, 1611 and Seville, 1625 the Spanish Jesuit Francisco de Castro published a rhetoric handbook entitled De arte rhetorica dialogi quatuor, at the end of which he included a list of specialized works in rhetoric (“Autorum elenchus”), which is a valuable document to further our knowledge of Jesuit bibliographical sources. This feature, uncommon in similar books published at that time in Spain, was preceded by a brief statement where Castro declared that the elenchus contains the books that he had seen and read from cover to cover and from many of which he had learnt a great deal and taken information for composing his treatise. This paper offers the modern edition and study of the above mentioned catalogue and puts forward the idea that the initial statement should not be taken literally, since the elenchus seems to contain references to authors and works which were probably only indirectly known of by the Jesuit. The aim of including these secondary references, which were mentioned in other catalogues as important readings for an accomplished rhetorician, would have been to strengthen Castro’s prestige, as well as the authority of his rhetoric.

In the late manuscripts of the Epistre Othea, the filiation of the images takes on different aspects. The miniatures of MS Laud Misc. 570 present iconographic similarities with those of MSS BnF, fr. 606 and BL, Harley 4431, which were illuminated under Christine de Pizan’s supervision. On the contrary, MS Erlangen, UB 2361 includes numerous miniatures, which illustrate different themes from those which the author chose at the beginning of the fifteenth century. In MSS Bodley 421, Bodmer 49 and Lille, BM 175, the filiation of the images seems to be more complex. Some miniatures of MSS Lille, BM 175 and Bodley 421, that have an identical iconography, but differ from those of MSS Français 606 and Harley 4431, draw particularly the reader’s attention. The unifying thread of this contribution consists in taking account of the link between text and images which characterizes the manuscripts of the Epistre Othea illuminated under Christine de Pizan’s supervision. As the images participate in the meaning together with the text in these manuscripts, the analysis of the link between images and text in late manuscripts could permit to study the transmission of the original link, but also to detect the existence of kinship relations between the iconography of late manuscripts and that of lost manuscripts of presentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We know Christine de Pizan as one of the greatest poets and writers of late Middle Ages, but she might have had other strings to her bow. This paper extends the field of studies to manuscripts outside the corpus of her texts, which could be indebted to her in one way or another. Her interest in images and talent for creating new compositions was influential as numerous borrowings testify since her time, among others the allegorized clock of temperance, the wheel of Fortune populated by rising and fallen kings, and Perseus armed with a scythe riding Pegasus. Like her contemporaries Honorat Bovet and Jean Lebègue, she can rightly be considered an iconographer. A copy of the Grandes Chroniques de France (Paris, Bibl. Mazarine, ms. 2028), that unusually highlights the Queen of France, seems to reflect her political ideals through the models of past queens represented to their advantage. It may be no accident that two of Christine favorite illuminators were at work in this manuscript, the Master of the Epître d’Othéa and the Master of the Cité des Dames. Thus the question arises whether one should not add to her talents those of supplier of books and adviser to the queen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the middle of one of the fourteen known manuscripts of Matheolus’s Lamentations translated by Jean Le Fèvre at the end of the xivth century, one can find a very peculiar textual addition. Indeed, the manuscript XXIII. D. 74 of Prague, dated from the middle of the xvth century, presents an interpolation of 26 verses, at the end of the second book of the Lamentations, dealing with Christine de Pizan. After a long misogynistic satire, Matheolus urges men to reject marriage and to multiply sexual conquests. The author of the interpolation offers then the example of Christine de Pizan. At first glance, this portrait appears in every way true to the persona created by Christine herself as a brave independent widow devoting her life to studies. She thus appears to be a model for those who seek to avoid remarriage and lead a faithful life. But such a reading, which would place the author of the interpolation as a continuator of Christine’s works more than an imitator of Jean Le Fèvre, disregards too heavily the context or cotext in which this example takes place. The choice of inserting those verses at this specific textual place cannot be inconsequential: if it might not completely change its meaning, it should at least invite us to be more cautious. This interpolation might in fact be an ironic depiction of Christine de Pizan and a criticism of her persona. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to present the way in which Christine de Pizan wrote and especially re-elaborated her works, through the study of two of her major texts, both of which had two successive versions, the Book of the Path of Long Study and the Book of the City of Ladies. It combines philology and genetic criticism, studying the presentation manuscripts, presumably corrected by the writer’s hand, as one would study an author’s drafts. We can see that, in manuscripts copied in a very limited period of time, sometimes simultaneously, Christine de Pizan introduced authorial variants that became more and more complex, to the point of creating new versions. The corrections also show the great importance the author placed on the language and style of her works. The study proves that it is worthwhile to apply the methods developed in Italian authorial philology to the authors of the French Middle Ages, for the example of Christine de Pizan, although exceptional, is probably not isolated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Christine de Pizan’s Livre des Trois Vertus has survived through two author-controlled manuscripts, twenty-one scribal manuscripts and three early printed books, thus in a mixed textual tradition. Charity Cannon Willard’s and Éric Hicks’ critical edition is based on the sole auctorial manuscript accessible in 1989, controlled by a selection of several scribal manuscripts and by two early printed editions. A new philological and archeological examination of this tradition and its variants (in particular with regard to the second auctorial manuscript, bought by the Bibliothèque nationale de France in 1995 and in private collection so far) leads to reevaluate this edition and discuss the epistemological and methodological tools necessary to establish a Middle French text surviving in a semi-auctorial tradition, in particular the choice of the base manuscript; the evaluation and presentation of the variants, scribal as well as auctorial; the emendation of the text. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article offers information on Christine de Pizan, the first woman of letters in French literature to have lived from her pen which has for several decades aroused a real enthusiasm on the part of critics, as evidenced by the bibliography which addresses different aspects of the multifaceted production of this author. Topics include examines that her works in verse and prose have been the subject of numerous studies which are placed in various disciplinary fields.

The article informs about established in France between the middle of the 18th century and the middle of the following century, books, people who profession of making public, in the form of books or periodicals. Topics include multiplicity of functions and the instability of professional boundaries are an integral part of the status of the publisher; and specialized publications, such as the Journal de la Librairie, the serials of the Bibliography of France.

The article proposes a theoretical foray into Orwell’s 1984, one that offers insight about how complex the fabric of, perhaps, the most well known classic dystopia of the 20th century, really is. Discussing auctorial intention and the inherent structural aspects of a utopia/dystopia, a close analysis of 1984 reflects the lesser known aspects behind creating some of the most familiar contemporary images related to the disappearance of personal freedom and the birth of the surveillance state.

Jean-Claude Gillet a écrit et dirigé de nombreux livres sur l’animation professionnelle. L’article aborde d’abord ses trois premiers ouvrages et prend la « mesure » de leur référencement bibliographique. Puis, ses autres livres sur l’animation sont commentés, éclairant la logique d’écriture de l’auteur. Cette présentation permet ensuite de vérifier que l’auteur est cité par d’autres (auteurs et professionnels), montrant alors l’impact de ces ouvrages. La particularité de Gillet est confirmée, notamment parce qu’il lui a fallu plus de dix ans pour passer d’une « définition introuvable » à une proposition formelle de définition de l’animation. Il est incontournable en regard de ses contributions à la valorisation de l’animation professionnelle et de ses apports dans la création d’un réseau international qui lui survit.

This article is an essay of theoretical synthesis on the state of the art of research concerning port cities and city-port relations. Beyond a conceptual approach, the article deals with an analysis of the historical evolution of relations between ports and their cities through modeling work developed by economic and geographic researchers. Research on city-port relations is more and more abundant, but it is generally focused on the phenomenon of dissociation between the port and its city and the morphological analysis of the mutations of the city-port interface: revitalization of waterfront. While the other forms of interaction between the port and its hinterland are little covered (port and urban dynamics, firms linked to the port, port and transport systems, etc.).

Résumé: Ce point de vue présente un « échantillonnage » des publications récentes qui concernent la (les) crise(s), la (les) catastrophe(s), la collapsologie. Au moins neuf livres français en 2020 ! Les débats autour du concept homme-nature se sont amplifiés. Depuis les années 1970, nous n'avons pas manqué d'ouvrages abordant ces questions. Dans le contexte actuel, il y a une accélération des questionnements sur l'état du monde et sur l'après. Mais de quoi parle-t-on réellement, si l'on ne fait pas un effort de terminologie ? Crise, catastrophe, effondrement, solastologie, collapsologie, etc., quel contenu recouvre ces mots ? Les lectures, anciennes et nouvelles, montrent que nous ne partons pas de rien, mais que cette « explosion » est le reflet de l'état idéologique de notre société. On reparle de l'apocalypse, et « l'écocide » fait, après le génocide, son apparition ! Incontestablement, c'est d'un vrai débat dont nous avons besoin. This article presents a sample of recent publications on crises, catastrophes and collapsology. At least nine books were published on this subject in 2020! Debates around the concepts relating nature and man are intensifying. Since the 1970s, plenty of works have addressed these matters. In the current situation, questions surge ever faster about the state of the world and what happens next. But what is it all really about if we make no effort to use the right terms? We use crisis, catastrophe, collapse, solastalgia, collapsology and so on. But what do they all mean? Ancient and modern writings show that we do not start from nothing, but that this "explosion" reflects the ideological state of our society. We're again talking of the apocalypse, and, after genocide, we now talk of "ecocide". Without a doubt this is a much-needed, genuine debate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Chymistry of Isaac Newton (http://chymistry.org) project team has digitized and encoded, following the TEI Guidelines, the complete corpus of Newton’s alchemical manuscripts, which total more than two thousand pages and over one million words. Newton cited more than five thousand published and unpublished works in these manuscripts; many of his annotations reference items in his own library, as he was an exceptionally dedicated reader of alchemical texts. Newton’s extensive citations and annotations provide a window into his alchemical research and practices, and serve as the basis for our authoritative bibliography of his alchemical sources. The bibliography is being developed as both a stand-alone reference work and an integrated resource with the alchemical manuscripts, providing additional context for Newton’s citations and florilegia. Once finished, the bibliography will provide complete, structured citations—which often would appear very abbreviated or incomplete in the manuscripts—that can be formatted to comply with modern bibliographic conventions and bibliographic management systems. Our bibliography will also link to digitized online versions of the source texts available through Early English Books Online, HathiTrust Digital Library, and other digital repositories. The citations include quasi-facsimile title page transcription, a technique used for bibliographic description of rare books, to enable richer forms of citation analysis. By analyzing the citations, we will be able to date Newton’s manuscripts, cluster manuscripts that cite the same or related sources, and, ultimately, generate network graphs that will reveal connections between the cited authors and texts and how they influence Newton’s own ideas and work.

The paper dwells on Ralph Ellison’s biography and his works, especially on his masterpiece Invisible Man (1952), its topical issues, poetics, the phenomenon of its exceptional success and the way it influenced over to Ellison’s status as one of the biggest XXth century classics and a reputed contributor to the African American and American literary canon. The essay traces the publication history of Ellison’s works, including posthumously released editions of his unpublished texts in 1990s-2010s, that became a result of an extensive research made by Ellison’s literary executor, literary historian, editor, textual critic John F. Callahan. The survey of American and European Ellison studies characterizes the basic corpus of books, academic papers, critical essays, collections, etc., both of the earlier (before mid-nineties) an contemporary period; the most outstanding scholars in the field are mentioned. Finally the essay gives a brief outlook of the scanty Soviet / Russian Ellisoniana – translations and editions, critical response and studies, and stresses an obvious discrepancy between the situation in the West and in Russia, where the Invisible Man still remains untranslated and the amount of scholarly papers, devoted to Ellison, scarcely reaches a dozen.

The current paper represents a partial bibliography about the life and the works of Publius Ovidius Naso, reflected in the papers written between 2001-2017.
