This collection underscores the role played by translated books in the early modern period. Individual essays aim to highlight the international nature of Renaissance culture and the way in which translators were fundamental agents in the formation of literary canons. This volume introduces readers to a pan-European story while considering various aspects of the book trade, from typesetting and bookselling to editing and censorship. The result is a multifaceted survey of transnational phenomena.

The institutions of the European Union employ hundreds of translators. Why? What do they do? What sort of translation problems do they have to tackle? Has the language policy of the European Union been affected by the recent inclusion of new Member States? This book answers all those questions. Written by three experienced translators from the European Commission, it aims to help general readers, translation students and freelance translators to understand the European Union institutions and their work. Although it deals with written rather than spoken translation, much of the information it gives will be of interest to interpreters too. This second edition has been updated to reflect the new composition of the EU and changes to recruitment procedures.

Another crisis of workload within the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) can be expected soon unless more Judges and Advocates General are appointed. The House of Lords European Union Committee found that the increasing size of the EU's membership, coupled with the expansion of the CJEU's jurisdiction since the Lisbon Treaty, mean that the institution will struggle to manage its existing workload, let alone an expanding one. On the General Court, the Committee report that structural solutions need to be found urgently and recommend an increase in the General Court's judiciary as the best and most flexible long-term solution to the workload problems, despite potential cost implications. The relatively straightforward reform of boosting the number of AGs and judges would improve the speed with which cases can be dealt.
