Late Latin Lexicon in Transition

translator

Abstract

Just like transferre and translatio, in Late Antiquity the word translator began to be used in competition with interpres, in the sense of ‘translator’. This entry analyses the evolution of the terminology connected to translation, with particular reference to the theorization by Jerome. In the final part, some secondary meanings assumed by this word are recalled.
