LATIN AND SCIENCE: PERSPECTIVES ON TRANSLATION OF THE NEO-LATIN ON SCIENCE

Abstract

This paper consists in a study of interdisciplinary perspectives that arise in the translation of scientific texts, from the Translation Studies, Linguistics, Textlinguistik (Text Linguistic) and Latin Language. Here is the translation of an excerpt from Historia Naturalis Palmarum (Natural History of Palms), written in the nineteenth century by the botanist Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794-1868), a pioneer in the description of the Brazilian flora.
