Description
An important chapter in the rediscovery of Aristotle in the Middle Ages is the oeuvre of Bartholomew of Messina (Bartholomaeus de Messana), a translator at the court of Manfred, King of Sicily (1258-1266). However, the impact of both Bartholomew and Manfred on the cultural and intellectual life of their time remains understudied, especially in comparison to the attention received by the translator's contemporary, William of Moerbeke, and by the king's father, Frederick II of Hohenstaufen. The authors of Translating at the Court address the nature and importance of Bartholomew's oeuvre (and especially his translations of Aristotle), situate Bartholomew's activity in a broader context, and pay special attention to cultural life under the reign of Manfred.

Reviews / Votes
'Translating at the Court' is een werk dat zich voornamelijk tot specialisten richt, maar van grote waarde is, omdat het vele facetten belicht van de omgeving en persoon van Bartholomeus van Messina, een figuur die tot op heden onmiskenbaar te weinig aandacht kreeg.Tijdschrift voor Filosofie 78, nr. 4 (2016) In drawing attention to such deep structures of court life while acknowledging the flurry of politics, diplomacy and ceremonial, this collection makes an important contribution to our advancing understanding of the early modern court.
Steven Gunn, Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis, Volume 129, Number 3, August 2016, pp. 447-500(54) Auch wenn der zweite Teil sich eher an Philologen wendet und Grundkenntnisse in der Aristotelesueberlieferung und Scholastik voraussetzt, kann die Veroeffentlichung auch von Historikern mit groBem Gewinn konsultiert werden. aoebersetzungen stellten und stellen (von der Antike bis heute) einen wichtigen Faktor der Kulturvermittlung dar, der in einer immer staerker bildlastigen Zeit leicht uebersehen wird.
Thomas Hofmann, QFIAB 95 (2015) Il s'agit d'un recueil de quinze etudes, toutes de tres haut niveau, precedees par une belle introduction, claire et bien agencee, signee par l'editeur du volume, Pieter DE LEEMANS. [...] Ce beau volume constitue donc une sorte d'etat des recherches sur Bartholomee de Messine. Mais se limiter a cette description signifierait l'amoindrir : les differents chapitres portent bien au-dela d'un travail ponctuel sur les textes, que pourtant ils supposent ; y sont aussi proposees beaucoup de theses nouvelles relatives a des questions generales, d'interet historique et litteraire.
