| Title | THE INTERPRETER OF THE POPES. THE TRANSLATION PROJECT OF ANASTASIUS BIBLIOTHECARIUS |
| Summary | The dissertation presents the career of a medieval translator at the intersection of two lines: the way knowledge of Greek put Anastasius Bibliothecarius in a monopoly position at the papal court of the second half of the ninth century, and the way the institution itself exploited his translating skills. I drew the profile of a very sophisticated diplomat, who employed his language skills for his own political purposes and for the institution he represented. Apart from the intrinsic value of such a monographic study, these historico-philological investigations also provide a more thorough insight into Greek-Latin cultural interactions of the ninth century. |
