Description
Summary:The extent and diversity of the foreign policy of the Spanish Monarchy during the Habsburg period brought it into contact with various communities of Eastern Christendom, among them, the Greek one. The political Hispanophilia in the Balkans and eastern Mediterranean for ideological reasons and the establishment of Greek emigrants in the kingdoms of the Monarchy made necessary the work of translation of written texts or oral testimonies of Greek language. In this paper I present and analyze the known data on the interpretation of diplomatic and judicial documents in the 16th-17th centuries, a task that was entrusted to native speakers or Spanish humanists with knowledge of Greek.
