Resumen
This paper addresses the question of translation as research. Using examples from Cennino Cennini’s Libro dell’arte and the 15th century Bolognese Manuscript, written in Italian and Latin, the author uses case studies to exemplify the use of secondary literature, dictionaries and comparative evidence from within the manuscript itself for the identification of materials. The author concludes that translation imposes a very strict discipline, which constrains the translator to push lexical research to its limits.
Este documento aborda la cuestión de la traducción como investigación. Utilizando ejemplos del Libro dell'arte de Cennino Cennini y el manuscrito boloñés del siglo XV, escritos en italiano y latín, el autor utiliza estudios de caso para ejemplificar el uso de literatura secundaria, diccionarios y evidencia comparativa del interior del propio manuscrito para la identificación de materiales. El autor concluye que la traducción impone una disciplina muy estricta, que obliga al traductor a llevar la investigación léxica a sus límites.
