This volume of papers, from an international Conference held in Beverley in 1997 on the translation into the medieval European vernaculars of the works of St Birgitta of Sweden, forms volume 7 in the series The Medieval Translator. Previous volumes in the series have been based on papers heard at the Cardiff Conferences on the Theory and Practice of Translation in the Middle Ages (1987- ). While future volumes in the series will continue to provide a record of the Cardiff Conference (the next is planned for Compostella in 2001), the present volume provides a welcome development for the series, and paves the way for scholarly monographs on individual works and writers — including editions of medieval translations — and other publications more narrowly angled at the different questions raised by the study of medieval translation.

Les médiévistes connaissent bien les sens que les Arts poétiques latins du Moyen âge attribuent au mot translatio : transfert de langues et de cultures, mais aussi transplantation de lettres d’un monde à un autre monde, greffe vitale du passé sur le présent, donation de sens du présent au passé. Environ deux tiers des traductions médiévales sont faites entre le xive et le xve siècle. Bien avant que la Renaissance ne revendique son ouverture sur le monde de l’Antiquité, le Moyen Âge, et en particulier les clercs de ses deux derniers siècles ont greffé sur la langue et la civilisation françaises tout un pan de la culture et de la littérature du passé, jusqu’en à en modifier pour toujours le code génétique. Réfléchir sur la traduction vers le moyen français, y compris celle de l’oc vers l’oïl, comme nous avons voulu le faire lors du IIe colloque de l’AIEMF (Association Internationale d’Études sur le Moyen Français), c’est être au cœur de la genèse de ce moyen français, de sa double proximité : avec l’ancien français et avec le français moderne. Le rôle joué par la traduction en moyen français apparaîtra encore plus clairement lorsque les médiévistes disposeront d’un répertoire global des traductions médiévales.

Throughout the middle ages, many Francophone texts - 'chansons de geste', medieval romance, works by Chrétien de Troyes and Marie de France - were widely translated in north-western Europe. In the process, these texts were frequently transformed to reflect the new cultures in which they appeared. This book argues that such translations, prime sites for cultural movement and encounters, provide a rich opportunity to study linguistic and cultural identity both in and through time. Via a close comparison of a number of these texts, examining the various modifications made, and drawing on a number of critical discourses ranging from post-colonial criticism to translation theory, the author explores the complexities of cultural dialogue and dissent. This approach both recognises and foregrounds the complex matrix of influence, resistance and transformations within the languages and cultural traditions of medieval Europe, revealing the undercurrents of cultural conflict apparent in medieval textuality. Sif Rikhardsdottir is Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of Iceland.
