Abstract
The eighteenth century saw antiquaries taking an increased interest in evidence arising from the Roman occupation of Britain. Sir Richard Colt Hoare explored Wales. From 1793 to 1804, his tours follow in the footsteps of Giraldus de Barri. His journals describing the Welsh tours are known, except for the year 1804. These have recently been uncovered at Stourhead. The 1804 tour was taken ‘[…] with a view to […] exploring the Roman Roads and Stations through the Principality’. Colt Hoare's translation of the The Itinerary of Archbishop Baldwin Through Wales, a.d. MCLXXXVIII/by Giraldus de Barri; …, followed in 1806. Comparison of Colt Hoare's journals with his translation of Giraldus' Latin text, which is mostly silent on the Romans, shows how he uses the translation to privilege his observations on Roman Wales.
十八世纪,古物学家对罗马人占领不列颠时期的证据越来越感兴趣。理查德-科尔特-胡尔爵士考察了威尔士。从 1793 年到 1804 年,他追随吉拉尔德斯-德-巴里(Giraldus de Barri)的足迹进行了考察。除 1804 年外,他描述威尔士之行的日志已广为人知。这些日记最近在 Stourhead 被发现。1804 年的旅行是"[......]为了[......]探索穿越公国的罗马道路和站点"。Colt Hoare 于 1806 年翻译了《The Itinerary of Archbishop Baldwin Through Wales , a.d. MCLXXXVIII/by Giraldus de Barri; ...》。寇特-霍尔的日记与他翻译的吉拉尔德斯的拉丁文本进行了比较,可以看出他是如何利用翻译来突出他对罗马威尔士的观察。
