Abstract

This chapter examines translations of historical works as evidence of what readers in different countries found particularly interesting or alien in other cultures in the early modern period. A survey of general trends is followed by case studies of the translations of Francesco Guicciardini’s History of Italy and Paolo Sarpi’s History of the Council of Trent.
