摘要

Translated texts have ever since played a major role on the German book market. Besides literary works, a diverse array of nonfictional texts from multiple languages have been translated into German throughout history. Moreover, in different eras, various idioms have shaped the translation landscape, reflecting changing preferences with regard to the topics or cultures that were considered relevant. Leveraging the extensive Heidelberg Translation Bibliography of Nonfictional Texts (HÜB), comprising approximately 20,000 works, this article explores multifaceted dimensions of spatial concepts. In doing so, this analysis does not just examine the places of publication themselves, but also chronological patterns and thematic focuses across regions. Drawing from translations into German from French, Latin, English, Italian, and Dutch, this study elucidates the intricate interplay of translation, time, and space during the early modern period.
