"This innovative collection showcases the importance of the relationship between translation and experience in premodern science, bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to offer a nuanced understanding of knowledge transfer across time and space during this period. The volume considers experience as a tool and object of science in the premodern world, using this idea as a jumping-off point from which to view translation as a process of interaction between different epistemic domains. The book is structured around four parts -between terms within and across languages; across sciences and scientific norms; between verbal and visual systems; and through the expertise of practitioners and translators- which examine key questions around what constituted experience of the natural world in the premodern area and the impact of translation processes and agents in shaping experience. Providing a comprehensive global account of historical studies on the travel and translation of experience in the premodern world, this book will be of interest to scholars in the history of translation, history of science, early modern history, and philosophy of science"--
