Elena Pizzetti Oct 12, 2022:
The Italian is quite confusing, but my guess is it means the book hosts the works of artists from the East as in the ancient definition of Middle East (meaning that nowadays we refer to a smaller area when we say "Middle East", while in its ancient meaning it involved a larger region). But this is an assumption, it's hard to understand just by the text.

EleoE - Le Moyen Orient.
Orient = maschile
EleoE Oct 6, 2022:
Former definition of "Moyenne Orient" (Middle East).
Panorientale = tutto l'Oriente. https://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/pan/
Emmanuella Oct 6, 2022:
Why Moyenne Orient. Al Ghaib ?
Emmanuella Oct 6, 2022:
I mean the text is not well written.
Artisti mediorentali/ panorientali= del Medio Oriente.
Emmanuella Oct 6, 2022:
Sorry, I don't understand exactly what is meant . I would rather say that 'panorientale'
refers to the former definition of 'Moyen Orient' (Middle East).
Maria Burnett (asker) Oct 6, 2022:
But is my translation correct? Nell'antica definizione di Moyenne Orient = as formerly defined in the Middle East?
Maria Burnett (asker) Oct 6, 2022:
Is as formerly defined in the Middle East correct? Thank you.
Emmanuella Oct 6, 2022:
Moyen Orient - Middle East

referring to territories described by the ancient definition Middle East

or territories subsumed by the ancient definition of Middle East.

I tried to rework this in several ways but the source is quite confusing and this is is the only way it would make sense to me.
I also think the punctuation in the Italian doesn't help.

Typo in title: OF the Middle East
Peer comment(s):

agree Mollie Milesi : Yes, "of the Middle East". Otherwise, you are right that it doesn't make sense.

Thanks!
neutral EleoE : Si parla di artisti, non di territori.

infatti...gli artisti provengono da quei territori definiti dal concetto antico di Middle East
agree Cillie Swart : Thanks for sharing !!

Thanks!
agree Elena Pizzetti : Maybe "As in the ancient definition of Middle East" could also be correct? Meaning the author uses "panorientale" (referring to the whole East) as the macro region the term Middle East referred to originally
