Rationes Rerum 22

LEOPOLDO GAMBERALE
Esperienze di un traduttore involontario

The author presents some of his translations from classical (Catullus) and contemporary (Bandini) Latin poetry. He argues that a poetic translation must follow the original text verse by verse and, for each example, highlights the translator’s often empirical criteria and varying levels of approximation and deviation from the Latin text, corresponding to the structural differences of the source and target languages.
