Abstract

Despite bans on the reading or possession of Bibles in the vernacular, numerous medieval Catalan translations of the Bible survive, in particular a complete Bible from the fourteenth century, some ten psalters, and a fifteenth-century version of the four Gospels. Moreover, Catalan was the second Romance language in which a full Bible was printed (1478), following the Tuscan Bible of 1471. Most of these translations were commissioned by Christians for the use of Christians. In some cases, however, it is clear that the translators were converted Jews. In some others, the translations appear to have been written by Jews for Jewish readers. We also find one case in which Catalan was the source rather than the target language: the first extant translation of the four Gospels into Hebrew (late fifteenth century) was undertaken, probably by a Jew, using the aforementioned fourteenth-century Catalan Bible.

中世纪加泰罗尼亚语地区犹太人和基督徒的圣经翻译

尽管禁止阅读或持有白话圣经，但许多中世纪加泰罗尼亚语版本的圣经仍然存在，特别是一本14世纪的完整圣经、大约十首赞美诗和一本15世纪的四福音书。此外，加泰罗尼亚语是继1471年的《托斯卡纳圣经》之后，第二种印刷完整《圣经》的浪漫主义语言（1478年）。这些译本大多是受基督徒委托，供基督徒使用的。然而，在某些情况下，很明显，译者是皈依了犹太人。在其他一些译本中，这些译本似乎是犹太人为犹太读者写的。我们还发现了加泰罗尼亚语是来源而非目标语言的一种情况：现存的第一次将四本福音书翻译成希伯来语（十五世纪末）可能是由一名犹太人使用上述十四世纪的加泰罗尼亚圣经进行的。

期刊介绍： Medieval Encounters promotes discussion and dialogue accross cultural, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries on the interactions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim cultures during the period from the fourth through to the sixteenth century C.E. Culture is defined in its widest form to include art, all manner of history, languages, literature, medicine, music, philosophy, religion and science. The geographic limits of inquiry will be bounded only by the limits in which the traditions interacted. Confluence, too, will be construed in its widest form to permit exploration of more indirect interactions and influences and to permit examination of important subjects on a comparative basis.
