Lucian in the Early Modern German Translation Culture

萨莫萨塔的卢西恩在德国人文主义对古代的蓬勃研究的背景下特别受欢迎，直到大约16世纪中期，他是德语地区翻译最多的希腊作家。基于德国对古代接受的这一子领域尚未被调查的观察，申请人希望对现代早期卢西安的德语翻译进行全面研究。翻译卢西恩的实践--因此最初的假设--特别清楚地表明了古代的“模仿”和"模仿“、手写传统和印刷术的出现、意大利和德国文化区、天主教和宗教改革之间复杂的相互作用，本研究的语料库由14个部分译本组成，涵盖了1960 - 1970年间的14个译本。1469年至1569年;其中一些是由著名人物，如Niklas von Wyle或Johannes Schlichlin撰写的。在拟议的项目中，这些翻译部分是新的探索，宏观和微观分析和评估，根据其文学历史背景。该项目的重点是两个核心问题：德国卢西恩传统如何融入早期现代理论和翻译史的大背景？它对近代早期的翻译文化有何影响？因此，研究的重点应集中在卢西恩接受的文化形成作用方面。在早期现代卢西恩翻译的情况下，翻译的转移以一种复杂的方式发生：原始希腊文本通常通过意大利人文主义者的拉丁文版本转移到德国文化中。意大利人文主义，其具体的理解卢西恩，功能作为一个调解的实例内的“转移电路”，并在研究过程中受到特别关注。

Lucian of Samosata was especially popular in the context of the vigorous studies of antiquity in the German humanism and was the most translated Greek author in the German-speaking area until about the middle of the 16th century. On the basis of the observation that this subfield of German reception of antiquity has not yet been investigated, the applicant wishes to present a comprehensive study of the German translations of Lucian in the early modern period. The practice of translating Lucian - so the initial hypothesis - shows particularly clearly the complex interplay between 'imitatio' and 'aemulatio' of antiquity, handwritten tradition and the emergence of printing, Italian and German cultural area, Catholicism and the Reformation, which is characteristic for the early modern culture of translation.The corpus of the study consists of 14 partial translations covering the period from 1469 to 1569; some of which were written by famous personalities such as Niklas von Wyle or Johannes Reuchlin. In the proposed project, these translations are to be partly newly explored, macro- and micro-analytically analysed and evaluated in the light of their literary-historical context. The project is focused on two central questions: How does the German Lucian tradition fit into the larger context of early modern theory and history of translation? What effects does it exert on the culture of translation of the early modern period? The focus of the study shall therefore concentrate on the aspect of the culture-forming role of the reception of Lucian. In the case of the early modern Lucian translations, the transfer of translation takes place in a complex way: the original Greek texts are usually transferred to the German culture through the Latin versions of the Italian humanists. Italian Humanism, with its specific understanding of Lucian, functions as a mediating instance within the 'transfer circuit' and is to receive special attention in the course of the study.
