Item description from seller

pp. 243-255. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, longtime editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author to W. Haase. - Name of the author handwritten on the cover, otherwise good and very clean. - From the text: Early in his History of Classical Scholarship, Wilamowitz (1982: 3) has this to say about translators: The translators also must be excluded, though they have contributed much to the dissemination of ancient ideas. As an example we need only recall Amyots Plutarch. The part played by that book in infusing the spirit of Hellenism into modem culture is infinitely more important than most scholars' work, but scholarship it is not. What a translator does may be infinitely more important than what a scholar does, yet it has no place in a history of scholarship because scholarship it is not. While no one would insist that scholarship and translation are the same, it is clear that there is some connection between them. I am not certain that anyone has taken the trouble to define it precisely, perhaps because it seems obvious enough. In the case of ancient authors at least, a certain amount of scholarship is simply prerequisite to translation. Some ancient authors would require more of it than others. Callimachus, most would probably agree, is one of those. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…
