Companion to Neo-Latin Studies: History and Diffusion of Neo-Latin Literature (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789061863663)

First published in two parts in 1977, the first edition of the Companion to Neo-Latin Studies appeared, filling a long-felt lacuna in the study of Neo-Latin literature. Both parts were subsequently revised to take into account to the explosive growth of Neo-Latin studies in the last decades.

Part I consists of a concise but comprehensive history of Neo-Latin writings (both literary and scientific) arranged according to geographical and cultural areas.

Together, the two parts of the Companion form an indispensable and up-to-date introduction to the immense and still largely growing field of Neo-Latin literature.
