XIII) by Brunetto Latini (c.1220-c.1295 ), the respective translators, Roberto Mulinacci (University of Bologna) and Emanuel de França Brito (Universidade Federal Fluminense – Rio de Janeiro) will discuss the theoretical and operational problems raised by the translation and reception of medieval texts and culture in the contemporary world.
