Abstract

Maimonides emphasizes clarity as a sine qua non for the task [of translating]. It's easy to translate word by word, but no clarity will result from such mechanics. He said that the translator should first try to grasp the sense of the passage thoroughly, and then state the author's intention with perfect clarity. This, however, cannot be done without changing the order of words, putting many words for one, or vice versa, and adding or taking away words, so that the subject may be as clear and perfectly intelligible in the language into which he translates. ( Stavans 2008 , p. 184) Tabular Comparison of Hullot‐Kentor and Mitchell and Blomster Translations with German Original This table supplements the text of the article of the same name that I recently published in this journal (hereafter Subotnik 2011 ). It comes with no claims of authority, least of all from distinguished scholars such as those named in the Acknowledgements (p. viii) to Hullot‐Kentor's translation of Adorno's Philosophy of New Music (full citations to original work and translations appear directly after this introduction).
