Abstract

The first part is the history of translation in Arabic-Islamic culture (7th-12th centuries), gathering dispersed sources from medieval and modern sources. The second part deals with basic issues in Translation Studies, like translatability or faithfulness. The third part is an analysis of Spanish, Catalan and English translations of a novel by Naquis Mahfuz, focusing on the process, strategies, proper nouns, false friends and intertextuality.
