from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Catalogus Translationum et Commentariorum ("Catalog of Translations and Commentaries") is a series of monographs that reveals the history of transmission and reception of ancient literature and science.

The volumes are written in English; In addition to the Latin main title, they have the English title Mediaeval and Renaissance Latin Translations and Commentaries , but not only the history of reception in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is dealt with, but also reception in antiquity and in the period since 1600. Each volume provides information on reception history some ancient authors or anonymously transmitted works. There is no alphabetical or chronological order in the order in which the authors or works are edited. The project has been funded by the Union Académique Internationale since 1951 . The head of the company has been Greti Dinkova-Bruun since 2009 . Her predecessors were Paul Oskar Kristeller (1951–1969), Ferdinand Edward Cranz (1969–1986) and Virginia Brown (1986–2009).

So far, eleven volumes have been published between 1960 and 2017. The articles in the first ten volumes are available in Open Access on the series' website ; the moving wall excludes the current band from it.
