Abstract

This work presents the translation methodology of the work “Iconologia del Cavaliere Cesare Ripa Perugino”, basic bibliography for the areas of Linguistics, Letters and Arts and the humanities, which is proposed through thematic glossaries inserted in tables, with detailed explanation about each term elucidated, in which curious studies of iconology in the 16th and 17th centuries are built, personifying concepts in allegories, associating postures and customs with the morals and clothing of that time. Translation, accompanied by the study of the origin of terms and associa-ted iconography, enables new linguistic and artistic creations. The target audience for “Iconologia del Cavaliere Cesare Ripa Perugino” was the high society of the time, with the use of a diversified lexicon, at times difficult to understand, with words in Latin or Greek. Before carrying out the translation of the text, it was necessary to have knowle-dge of paleography, since Ripa’s writing differs from the current one in the spelling of certain words, rules of use of capital letters and accentuation. Translation allows us to investigate interesting aspects of the language, both synchronously and diachronically. In addition to linguistic research, the analysis of the text allows iconological, icono-graphic and literary studies, since the work presents cultural, imaginary and historical content that portrays life in the 17th century. Finally, translating the work proves to be extremely enriching, especially due to the lexical selection translated didactically, consi-dering the cultural equivalents in time and space and the naming of the accessories and clothing of that time in relation to contemporary times.
