| Description | In this lecture, we will explore the contributions of three prominent figures in the tradition of Latin translation from the Czech lands: Václav Alois Svoboda (1791–1849), František Palata (1870–1946), and Jan Šprincl (1917–1989). By examining their work, we will delve into their distinct approaches to translating rhythmical poetry into Latin, shedding light on each translator’s challenges and creative solutions. |
