Translatar and transferir are two closely related terms within the set that referred in Catalan to various medieval practices associated with both textual and cultural translatio. From a modern viewpoint, such practices would encompass the transmission of both literary and scientific learning, ranging from the production of manuscript copies to linguistic translation, and also including other procedures of cultural dissemination.

The Grup Narpan («Cultura i literatura a la baixa edad mitjana») is a research team nourished by three universities (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universitat de Barcelona, Universitat de Girona). It focuses on studying and editing Catalan works from 1200 to 1500, as well as making them available to a large readership. This first Narpan Colloquium, as suggested by its title, deals with some of the many facets of the transmission of learning, and is accordingly divided into five sessions:

The manuscript workshop
Translating and glossing
Learning in the vernacular
The transmission of poetry
The leading role of the Court
