Enhancing his translation with techniques borrowed from scholastic study, vernacular preaching, and secular fiction, Guyart produced one of the most popular, most widely copied French-language texts of the later Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaking the Bible French \u003c\/i\u003einvestigates how Guyart's first-person authorial voice narrates translation choices in terms of anticipated reader reactions and frames the biblical text as an object of dialogue with his readers. It examines the translator's narrative strategies to aid readers' visualization of biblical stories, to encourage their identification with its characters, and to practice patient, self-reflexive reading. Finally, it traces how the \u003ci\u003eBible historiale\u003c\/i\u003e manuscript tradition adapts and individualizes the Bible for each new intended reader, defying modern print-based and text-centred ideas about the Bible, canonicity, and translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeanette Patterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487508883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487508883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Cloth","brand":"Jeanette Patterson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944534606079,"sku":"9781487508883","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_99c483f7-a21a-4baa-b360-8f4afa662046.jpg?v=1681504024","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-the-bible-french-jeanette-patterson-9781487508883","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
