Pre-Modern Materials in German Translation

Abstract

Abstract:Premodern Korean writings translated into the German language are mainly restricted to literary works—at least as far as monographic publications are concerned. Besides attempting an overview of existing German translations, I will try to provide answers to the question why this is so, and discuss the potential value of German language translations of premodern Korean materials (including, but not confined to literary works). Finally, I will address future prospects and issues of quality management.
