After the Middle Ages, the Western rediscovery of Greek texts began in Florence in the late fourteenth century. Over the next two centuries the reception and translation of the entire Greek intellectual tradition shaped modern European thought in all field of knowledge. This project will conduct the first comprehensive investigation into vernacular translations of Greek texts produced in Florence during the second half of the fifteenth century. At that time, the famous Neoplatonic philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) provided intellectual leadership in the city, and played an essential role in the dissemination of Greek texts to a vernacular readership. The project's initial focus on this specific context will develop into an interdisciplinary, transnational history of the vernacular reception of Greek texts in Renaissance Europe: Florentine translations will be compared with subsequent fifteenth and sixteenth-century versions of the same works into other European vernacular languages. Through the direct analysis of a wide range of primary sources (manuscripts, early prints, archival materials), the project will address the following questions: who were the commissioners,authors, scribes, and readers of these vernacularizations? What kind of linguistic strategies and translation methods were adopted? Research frameworks and methods forged by various disciplines (e.g. textual studies, the history of the book, translation studies) will be integrated to help formulate an appropriate analytical response. The project aims to provide a deep understanding of the processes lying beneath a socio-literary phenomenon of primary importance for the development of a common culture in Europe. The project will therefore contribute to current debates in academic, educational, and institutional contexts about how European cultural roots and common values were built upon different influences absorbed over time, and how they can still help develop a European sense of belonging.

中世纪之后，西方对希腊文本的重新发现始于14世纪后期的佛罗伦萨。在接下来的两个世纪中，整个希腊知识传统的接收和翻译在所有知识领域都塑造了现代欧洲思想。该项目将对15世纪下半叶在佛罗伦萨产生的希腊文本的白话翻译进行首次全面调查。当时，著名的新柏拉图哲学家Marsilio Ficino（1433-1499）在这座城市提供了知识领导，并在将希腊文本传播给白话读者中发挥了重要作用。该项目对这种特定环境的最初关注将发展为文艺复兴时期欧洲希腊文本的跨学科的跨国历史：将佛罗伦萨翻译与随后的15世纪和16世纪的同一作品的同一作品进行比较。通过直接分析广泛的主要来源（手稿，早期印刷品，档案材料），该项目将解决以下问题：专员，作者，抄写员和读者是谁？采用了哪种语言策略和翻译方法？各种学科（例如文本研究，书籍的历史，翻译研究）伪造的研究框架和方法将被整合以帮助制定适当的分析响应。该项目旨在深入了解在社会文学现象下对欧洲一种共同文化的主要重要性的过程。因此，该项目将在学术，教育和机构背景下进行有关欧洲文化根源和共同价值观如何建立在随着时间的不同影响以及如何帮助发展欧洲归属感的不同影响之上的当前辩论。
