Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to study the role of translations in the spread of scientific texts from the sixteenth to the end of the seventeenth century. This study examines the extent to which translations reveal not so much the transformations of the scientists’ work, than the transformations of its cultural context. This essay is mainly concerned with the motives and aims of the translations and therefore mainly discusses case studies.
