[...]Bistu reminds us that the masterity of languages is an essential part of scientic knowledge of the Renaissance. Bistu presents humor as the ultimate element of unity in a product of multilingualism, since it reduces literatures multiple interpretations and potential interpretive points of views to one. [...]Renaissance literary works absorb translation discourses and succeed in representing what Renaissance theoretical reections failed to address.
