Significant contribution to the retranslation studies of religious texts.Despite the lively scholarly discourse on retranslation and its manifest value for uncovering dynamics of cultural change, interpretation, and reception, the retranslation of religious texts has received only fragmented attention in recent years. By spanning both historical and current aspects, and by treating the Bible and the Qur’an together, this book breaks new ground and paves the way for future research on the myriad discursive and religious aspects of retranslation.This carefully curated collection of articles compellingly argues that the retranslation of canonical religious texts is a multi-faceted phenomenon. With cases ranging in time from the early Reformation to the present, and traversing linguistic contexts from Russia to Sweden, Slovenia to Saudi Arabia, the essays capture diverse dimensions of retranslation work. The collection demonstrates that retranslations of such texts manifest in different forms, depending on the religious, political and societal circumstances, the targeted audiences, and the status of existing translations. Their reception too may vary greatly, depending on those same circumstances. Authored by specialists in the different fields of retranslation of the Bible and the Qur’an, each contribution illustrates this complexity and offers a fresh perspective and insight that help lay the groundwork for future research in this area of study.

Recensioner i media

50-odd years after Eugene Nida, this volume forms a welcome update on the conceptual and practical complexities that arise when sacred texts are interpreted for diverse audiences, in various translations. The volume auspiciously extends its views to Qur’an translations, including in the West, and Bible translations in the Muslim world, combining historical approaches with contemporary issues, while interrogating the traditional dichotomies of translation and untranslatability, verbum e verbo and sensum de sensu, formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence, authority and modernity. Whereas its focus on retranslation brings new approaches to the study of canonicity in Christian, Hebrew and Islamic traditions, sacred texts have remained largely unexplored in retranslation studies. A must-read for anyone interested in the translation and interpretation of religious texts and / or the relationship between retranslation and canonicity. - Kris Peeters, University of Antwerp
