Abstract

After the introduction, the book embarks upon Mesopotamia and Egypt. Next, it looks into translation errors. Sophism and rhetoric is the next topic. Hieronymus, Cicero and Augustinus are also discussed. Early translations of Jewish and Christian ‘holy writings’ are investigated as well. These are among the topics discussed in this book.
