Programme et séances saison 3 2016-2017 > 16 Juin 2017 : Corinna Guerra (EHESS, HasteC), Le futur d'un livre scientifique : sa traduction par Mariangela Ardinghelli et sa circulation en ItalieIntervenante : Corinna Guerra (EHESS, Hastec) Le futur d'un livre scientifique : sa traduction par Mariangela Ardinghelli et sa circulation en Italie Résumé : When books start living? When the author thought them, when he wrote them, when they are published or when they are known by a large public? It is not easy to reply, but in the Eighteenth century some cases of translations of scientific texts can be useful to reflect about that question. The paper focuses on the translation of the seminal work of Stephen Hales Vegetable Staticks (1727) by a brilliant young woman, whose name was Mariangela Ardinghelli (1728-1825). This book initiated new ideas in chemistry and medicine, but many Italian scholars knew the discoveries of the famous English physiologist by the first and only Italian translation published in Naples (i.e. Southern Italy) in 1756. It is due to the choice of the scholar, which consisted on reading the French translation or the Italian one, the final approach to content of the book. Because Ardinghelli’s work is quite different from the French translation by the famous G. L. De Buffon; she added her notes to the text, she also fit the theory to her local context converting, e. g., all English weights and measurements into their Neapolitan equivalents. The aim of the paper is to show how the influence and the diffusion of the Italian translation modified the transmission of Hales’ works in Italy, through an analysis of Latin, Italian, French and English sources.
