Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: Milan Kundera is often quoted as saying that “common European thought is the fruit of the immense toil of translators. Without translators, Europe would not exist; translators are more important than members of the European Parliament.” Leaving aside the comparison with members of the European Parliament, the historian of political thought cannot avoid sensing some degree of truth in this. After all, St. Augustine did not know Greek; he read Greek authors in Latin. St. Thomas Aquinas did not know Greek either, so he read “The Philosopher” in Latin translations. Machiavelli did not know Greek, so while he was at Cesare Borgia’s court he asked for Latin translations of Plutarch. It is said that Kant did not know a word of English, but it was Hume who woke him up from his dogmatic slumbers. It seems that Kundera’s quote applies perfectly to Jean Barbeyrac who translated to the common European language of his age the Latin works of Hugo Grotius, Samuel Pufendorf and Richard Cumberland, among some other lesser authors. If translators were so important to European thought,then Barbeyrac is an extremely important personality in Modern European thought, in spite of his warning that one “should not rely blindly on renowned translators”.
