Medieval translation as 'certamen': The Germanic versions of ''Yvain, le Chevalier au Lion''

The phenomenon of medieval translation has been discussed many times, resulting in the conflicting premises that either medieval translation was not as faithful to the original as its modern counterpart, or that medieval translators were excessively literal. These points of view are informed by the modern tradition and tend to ignore two very important points: (1) medieval translation is rooted in a strong educational tradition, and (2) considerable disagreement exists today over exactly what constitutes a translation.
