This chapter deals with the construction of linguistic, geographical, and pragmatic spaces in early modern Latin translations of vernacular literature. The first part discusses the constructed spaces in early modern Latinity, introducing three intellectual concepts: res publica litterarum, Europa nostra, and translatio linguae et studii. All of them convey the idea of an ample common space in which Latin, as a common ground, lingua franca, and intermediary language, is the appropriate vehicle for cultural contact. These points are made more tangible using a case study: Tommaso Campanella’s philosophical dialogue Civitas Solis (La Città del Sole). An analysis of the first printed edition (1623) contextualizes the paratextual framing, particularly the bell metaphor (Campanula) within the dedicatory poem, and its implications for the conceptualization of the Latin translation, allowing some conclusions regarding media changes, visibility, and authorial control in Latin translations.

摘要

This chapter deals with the construction of linguistic, geographical, and pragmatic spaces in early modern Latin translations of vernacular literature. The first part discusses the constructed spaces in early modern Latinity, introducing three intellectual concepts: res publica litterarum, Europa nostra, and translatio linguae et studii. All of them convey the idea of an ample common space in which Latin, as a common ground, lingua franca, and intermediary language, is the appropriate vehicle for cultural contact. These points are made more tangible using a case study: Tommaso Campanella’s philosophical dialogue Civitas Solis (La Città del Sole). An analysis of the first printed edition (1623) contextualizes the paratextual framing, particularly the bell metaphor (Campanula) within the dedicatory poem, and its implications for the conceptualization of the Latin translation, allowing some conclusions regarding media changes, visibility, and authorial control in Latin translations.
