Translation historiography explores changes in the practice and conceptualization of translation over time and space, as well as the causes of these changes. It helps contextualize the practices and ideas of the past, relativize those of the present, and identify regularities, interconnections, turning points, and advances. Studies of translation history are not a new phenomenon. Yet only recently has this emerged as a subdiscipline that draws on insights and methodologies from both translation studies and historiography but that has an “awareness that translation history might actually have a method, with its own concepts, procedures and results” (Pym, 1998, p. 13). This entry deals with history of translation. The aim of this entry is to briefly present the topic.
