TRANSLAPT Kick-Off Meeting

TRANSLAPT – Time to start!

During last week's kick-off meeting in Münster, all six members of TRANSLAPT had the opportunity to introduce themselves and discuss their approach to translations of various secular and religious genres. We are all deeply motivated to delve into the translation processes of Arabic and Persian into Ottoman Turkish during the early modern period, exploring the actors and intricacies involved. We express our gratitude for the presence of Mercator fellow Andrew Peacock from St Andrews, as well as the numerous guests who attended the event, including representatives from the University of Münster and other universities in the region. We are optimistic that the musical performance and the reception that followed will be cherished by all who were in attendance.
