Abstract
Supposedly a personal account of Bach's life by his second wife, The Little Chronicle of Magdalena Bach (1925) is both a fictional biography and a pseudotranslation. By retracing the assumptions that led to a maze of counterfeit narratives in the text, the article seeks to illuminate the diverse functions of translation as a means of (re)defining a geography of images and (mis)conceptions.
