Companion to Neo-Latin Studies: Literary, Linguistic, Philological and Editorial Questions

The Latin language and literature have been an essential part of Western culture and civilisation for more than two thousand years. An important part of that Latin heritage is Neo-Latin, by which are meant all writings in Latin since the dawn of humanism in Italy from about 1300 A.D. down to our own time. In this second part of the Companion to Neo-Latin Studies by Jozef Ijsewijn and Dirk Sacré, the authors address literary, linguistic, philosophical and editorial questions regarding the study of Neo-Latin. Together with part I the Companion is an essential guide to scholars, students and all those interested in Neo-Latin to provide them with the basic bibliographical information. Part I (ISBN 906186366X) consists of a concise, but comprehensive history of Neo-Latin writings (both literary and scientific) arranged according to geographical and cultural areas.
