The chapters in this volume share an aim to historicize the role of the translator as a cultural and political agent in the early modern West.

Translators’ contribution to the vitality of textual production in the Renaissance is still often vastly underestimated. Drawing on a wide variety of sources published in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Latin, German, English, and Zapotec, this volume brings a global perspective to the history of translators, and the printed book. Together the essays point out the extent to which particular language cultures were liable to shift, overlap, shrink, and expand during one of the most defining periods in the history of print culture. Interdisciplinary in approach, Trust and Proof investigates translators’ role in the diffusion of discourse about languages and ancient knowledge, as well as changing etiquettes of reading and writing.

Andrea Rizzi, Ph.D. (2000), University of Kent at Canterbury, is an Australian Research Council Future Fellow at the University of Melbourne. His most recent publication is Vernacular Translators in Quattrocento Italy: Scribal Culture, Authority, and Agency (Brepols 2017).
