520    In the second millennium CE, long before English became 
       the language of science in the twentieth century, the act 
       of translation was crucial for understanding and 
       disseminating knowledge and information across linguistic 
       and geographic boundaries. This volume considers the 
       complexities of knowledge exchange through the practice of
       translation over the course of a millennium, across fields
       of knowledge--cartography, health and medicine, material 
       construction, astronomy--and a wide geographical range, 
       from Eurasia to Africa and the Americas. Contributors 
       literate in Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, 
       Italian, Japanese, Latin, Minnan, Ottoman, and Persian 
       explore the history of science in the context of world and
       global history, investigating global patterns and 
       implications in a multilingual and increasingly 
       interconnected world. Chapters reveal cosmopolitan 
       networks of shared practice and knowledge about the 
       natural world from 1000 to 1800 CE, emphasizing both 
       evolving scientific exchange and the emergence of 
       innovative science. By unraveling the role of translation 
       in cross-cultural communication, Knowledge in Translation 
       highlights key moments of transmission, insight, and 
       critical interpretation across linguistic and faith 
       communities.
