Iris Idelson-Shein, "Between the Bridge and the Barricade: Jewish Translation in Early Modern Europe" (U Penn Press, 2024)

Domestication refers to the process of making texts more familiar to the target audience, often by altering foreign elements to align with cultural norms.

The title reflects the dual nature of translation—as a bridge that connects cultures and a barricade that maintains cultural integrity.
