The Oxford Handbook of Neo-Latin
From the dawn of the early modern period around 1400 until the eighteenth century, Latin was still the European language and its influence extended as far as Asia and the Americas. At the same time, the production of Latin writing exploded thanks to book printing and new literary and cultural dynamics. Latin also entered into a complex interplay with the rising vernacular languages. This Handbook gives an accessible survey of the main genres, contexts, and regions of Neo-Latin, as we have come to call Latin writing composed in the wake of Petrarch (1304-74). Its emphasis is on the period of Neo-Latin's greatest cultural relevance, from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Its chapters,...
Portuguese Humanism and the Republic of Letters
This volume focuses on the interdisciplinary investigation of Portuguese humanism, especially as a noteworthy player in the international network of early modern scholars, writers and intellectuals. During the Renaissance, Portugal became a centre for the dissemination of information concerning the new geographical and cultural horizons opened up by voyages of discovery, as well as a meeting place for humanist scholars and intellectuals coming from elsewhere in Europe. Papers in this volume situate Portuguese scholarship within the international humanistic network and examine its connection to other aspects of contemporary cultural production. Contributors include Onésimo Almeida, Jens Baumgarten, Liam Brockey, Sylvie Deswarte-Rosa, Thomas Earle, Karl Enenkel, Catarina Fouto, Noël Golvers, Alejandra Guzmán, Tobias Leuker, Giuseppe Marcocci, Cristóvão Marinheiro, Ricarda Musser, and Marília dos Santos Lopes.
Envoys of a Human God
In Envoys of A Human God Andreu Martínez offers a comprehensive study of the religious mission led by the Society of Jesus in Christian Ethiopia. The mission to Ethiopia was one of the most challenging undertakings carried out by the Catholic Church in early modern times. The book examines the period of early Portuguese contacts with the Ethiopian monarchy, the mission’s main developments and its aftermath, with the expulsion of the Jesuit missionaries. The study profits from both an intense reading of the historical record and the fruits of recent archaeological research. Long-held historiographical assumptions are challenged and the importance of cultural and socio-political factors in the attraction and ultimate estrangement between European Catholics and Ethiopian Christians is highlighted.

O Humanismo Português e Europeu
Resultado de uma colaboração entre o Centro de Estudos Clássicos da Universidade de Lisboa e o Centro de Estudos Clássicos e Humanísticos da Universidade de Coimbra para celebrar os quinhentos anos do nascimento de D. Jerónimo Osório, o livro O Humanismo Português e Europeu. No 5º centenário do Cicero Lusitanus: Dom Jerónimo Osório (1515-1580) reúne estudos de vários colaboradores de diferentes universidades europeias. Além da análise da vida e da obra do humanista português, nomeadamente da sua produção literária, historiográfica, epistolar, bem como dos tratados de filosofia moral e política e dos comentários de textos bíblicos, este volume também pretende oferecer uma visão de conjunto do Renascimento Europeu radicado no estudo e na leitura dos autores clássicos na época de Jerónimo Osório.
