Abstract

This paper deals with one of the most important English translations of Kalilah and Dimnah; it is Knatchbull's Kalilah and Dimna, or Fables of Bidpai, which he has based on the Arabic version  which the French orientalist, De Sacy, edited in 1816 three years before Knatchbull's translation. This research focuses on the strategy which Knatchbull has followed in translating this significant text into English by analyzing only three elements: how Knatchbull has translated the titles of the frame tales, how he has translated the introductory phrases of the main tales, and finally, how he has rendered the culture-specific items (i.e., proper names and common expressions).
