Translating from Greek (and Latin) into Latin: Niccolò Perotti and Plutarch’s On the Fortune of the Romans

From the book Making and Rethinking the Renaissance

  • Fabio Stok

Abstract

This article examines the unpublished Latin translation of Plutarch’s On the Fortune of the Romans by Niccolò Perotti. For this translation Perotti used not only the Greek text of the treatise, reading it in an unidentified manuscript, but also the translation of this work made fifty years earlier by Iacopo d’Angelo. The comparison of the two translations with the Greek text enables us to explain the method used by Perotti in his translation work.
