This roundtable sponsored by FISIER is part of the “Renaissance(s)” programme (Université Paris Nanterre & Université Paris 8) and the “Translation and Polyglossia” project (funded by Institut Universitaire de France). It will bring together scholars working on the lexicons of novelty, renewal, modernity, in Renaissance texts written in French, Italian, English, Spanish, and German. The discussions (in French and in English) will adopt a comparative, trans-linguistic, transnational and translational approach, in order to shed light on Renaissance writers’ sense of living in times of changes, focussing on two main lexical areas: 1. Romance words derived from Latin saeculum (siècle, siglo, secolo) and their non-Romance equivalents or translations, which are used to put the present time in a historical perspective; 2. Romance words built with the re-/ri– prefix, which refer to new beginnings or to a return to original purity (refaire, réforme, rinascimento, etc.), and their non-Romance counterparts.
