The HIERONIMO Project

The HIERONIMO Project

The HIERONIMO project, initiated in 2015, develops a digital environment for the research and translation of early modern English drama.

It was funded in 2016-17 by Conselleria d'Educació, Investigació, Cultura i Esport (Generalitat Valenciana) through the research project "Entorno digital de investigación y traducción del primer teatro moderno inglés" GVAICO2016-094. It is associated with the ARTELOPE research team, directed by Joan Oleza Simó, and specifically with the EMOTHE project on early modern European theatre, with the support of projects FFI2016-80314-P, funded by Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (2017-2019), and PID2019-104045GB-C54, funded by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (2020-06-01 / 2023-05-31), both through Agencia Estatal de Invesigación.

HIERONIMO encloses the concepts of early modern theatre, multilingualism and translation, ideas inherent to this research project. Hieronimo is the protagonist of the English play The Spanish Tragedy attributed to Thomas Kyd and published in London in 1592. Towards the end of the play, Hieronimo writes a tragedy to be performed before the court of the King of Spain and his guest, the Viceroy of Portugal, with the roles of each of the four characters in Latin, Greek, Italian and French --  although the text was published in English.
