A history of translation in 150 portraits

[ French version ] [ Spanish version ] Written by Marie Lebert with the help of Wikipedia, this tribute to translators of the past includes the short biographies of 150 translators from antiquity to the 20th century. These translators were literary authors, scholars and scientists who played a major role in society. Among these translators were many women who, after being anonymous or hidden behind a male pseudonym, began to sign their translations and their writings with their real names in the 16th century. [ web version ] The last pages are a brief essay entitled "A short history of translation and translators".
