Dear Germanists
The relay reading of the ‘Sendbrief vom Dolmetschen’ was good fun, with 34 speakers joining in. The recording, combining video and slides, is available now under
http://podcasts.ox.ac.uk/sendbrief-vom-dolmetschen (NB: Speakers are listed in sequence on the page; if you want to listen to a particular part, calculate the number of the speaker with an average reading time
of just under two minutes).
The book itself – comprising an introduction to the pamphlet and the historical background; a transcription; the English translation; a facsimile – is available in different
formats:
Luther, Martin, Howard Jones, Henrike Lähnemann, and Emma Huber. Ein Sendbrief vom Dolmetschen
- an open letter on translating. Oxford, 2017 (ISBN-13: 978-0995456419)
