Abstract
Bloemen attempts to demonstrate the boundaries of a legal translation that only draws on concrete comparative law and strict equivalence. Only within and between legalistic law systems this method is applicable. Following the example of Jacob Grimm, he pleads for a chiastic relation of law study and Translation Studies. Not only issues of translatability, but also the questions as to the possible culture-building power of legal translation are addressed.
