Dear *
I founded the Legacy Project for the express aim of translating, publishing, and disseminating the philosophical works of Dietrich von Hildebrand.
The Project has now reached a mid-point in our translation work, and the completion of our original goal is in sight. Four major works remain to be translated. We are rallying to produce them all in one sustained effort, so that by 2015 the most important works of von Hildebrand will be translated. To that end, we are launching an international translator search—and I’m asking you to help spread the word.
Finding top-tier translators has proven far more difficult than we could ever have anticipated. There are many capable translators versed in the thought of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Romano Guardini, Josef Pieper,and Joseph Ratzinger. What is needed, however, to make aworldclass translation of von Hildebrand is a linguist closely acquaintanted with the early phenomenology of Edmund Husserl, Adolf Reinach, and Max Scheler, whose influence on von Hildebrand, both conceptually and terminologically, is pronounced.
Our ideal translator is someone who has real expertise in early phenomenology and, preferably, someone who has published a book-length translation of a work in or about early phenomenology. Furthermore, we are looking for a translator capable of uniting aspirations for conceptual fidelity with the ability to produce a flowing and natural English text. Finding the right translator is vitalto ensuring the positive reception of these works, and, no less importantly, to honoring the philosophical legacy of von Hildebrand.
Complete informationabout our search, including the four works to be translated and a downloadable version of our flyer,*can be found on our website by clicking here.Our application deadline is January 4, 2012, and for an accomplished translator, making the required sample translation (available in German on our website) would presumably require no great effort or expenditure of time.
Contracts for translating the works of von Hildebrand will be offered to those who are deemed by the Legacy Project to be the best translators. Compensation will be in accordance with current standards for academic translation.
Would you help us spread the word about our translator search? Would you inform your colleagues, including potentialtranslators,*by forwarding this email? Would you post information about our search on appropriate message boards and list-serves? Would you hang our flyer in your department?
With warmest thanks for any assistance you can provide, I look forward to announcing in the near future that we have embarked upon the final phase of our translation project! Faithfully yours, John Henry Crosby Founder & Director P.S. To view Dietrich von Hildebrand titles available through our website, please click here to visit our online bookstore.
