This book, this Manual of English-Arabic Translation, is a course for beginners whose mother tongue is Arabic but who have learnt English as a second language for a number of years.

Professor Nida's ‘Toward a Science of Translation’ (I & II) may have drawn the attention of linguists to the possibility of engaging in a process of formalizing, generalizing and rule-setting which, for most of them, should constitute a solid enough ‘scientific’ basis for translation; but the many books produced in the 1990s on translation have shown that the possibility of that process remains just that — only a possibility.
This groundbreaking volume gathers an international team of historians to present the practice of translation as part of cultural history.
