The publisher’s summary:
This book offers a collection of papers presented during the conference “Linguistic and Cultural Aspects of Translation – The Arabic Bible“, held 2008 at the OIB. The six english and four Arabic contributions treat various Bible translations and editions made during the last 500 years. As a whole, this collection highlights the complexity of Arabic translations of the Bible and thus accentuates the fact that translations must often be seen as particular modes of expression.
