Translation: Theory and Practice: A Historical Reader responds to the need for a collection of primary texts on translation, in the English tradition, from the earliest times to the present day.

"Those articles in the collection which concern Petronius' Satyrica include a general interpretation of this fragmentary and problematic text, an exploration of its narrative technique, its relationship to Menippean satire and to recently discovered Greek novel papyri, and the issue of its realism."--BOOK JACKET.

Samo posługiwanie się łaciną pociągało za sobą rozmaite konsekwencje w treści i konstrukcji wypowiedzi. Jako autor Teodoryk z pewnością ustępuje pod względem rozmachu intelektualnego swoim sławniejszym kolegom po piórze – Saksonowi i Snorriemu. Wszakże ukończona w latach 1177–1188 Historia de antiquitate regum Norwagiensium konkuruje o zaszczytne miano najstarszej norweskiej kroniki – i już choćby z tego powodu powinna zostać uzna...
