History of translation was a fascinating part of my translation degree (and of Church History at Bible college, in my former existence before I became a raging gay).
Translation of religious texts worldwide has obviously been a huge part (I would suggest the vast majority) of translation undertaken throughout history and has also, of course, driven the fascinating debate on how translation should be ("literal" vs. "literary", "scholarly" vs. "vernacular" etc.).
