تحفة ابن بطوطة في ترجمة إيطالية كاملة

Abstract EN

Claudia Maria Tresso's translation comes in the context of numerous translations of "Tuhfat" Ibn Battuta into many languages, including the pioneering Italian translation by Francesco Gabrieli.

the article is an attempt to highlight an Italian academic Arabist effort that accompanied Ibn Battuta and his journey (Rihla) for nearly seven years, which culminated in a complete translation, in which the translator worked to adapt the text according to the Western reader's expectation horizon.

the question here is: What are the motives for translating this unknown text into its Italian culture? how was the translator able to overcome the difficulties of the cultural specificity of this artistic edifice? was it able to overcome the problem of the special cultural term untranslatable? and how the translator maneuvered in order to translate the names of places and people? and what are the methods for the translation to confront the forms of linguistic sounds, and the forms of foreign expressions?
