Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the use of translated and quasi-translated names, also known as metonyms, during the Renaissance period. This practice was an attempt to soften and harmonize names that sounded harsh to the ear, and to fit in with the Latin and Greek tongues that were becoming popular among literary men of the time. The author makes extensive use of specific examples of metonyms used by various historical figures, from prominent scholars such as Erasmus and Melanchthon, to famous printers and other literary figures. The book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history of names and the evolution of languages during the Renaissance era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
