transhistorical (uncountable)

1. Outside the bounds of history; universal; permanent.
   • 2005, Michael Cronin, edited by Martha Tennent, Training For The New Millennium, John Benjamins Publishing Co, page 259:

     An assumption made in much translation pedagogy is that... students are always and everywhere the same. In other words, the student is an invariant, transhistorical subject who is, to all intents and purposes, indistinguishable from his or her counterpart in the seventeenth, eighteenth or nineteenth century.
