Latin Scientific Literature, 1450-1850

Der vorliegende Band geht auf das 19. Symposion NeoLatina in Innsbruck zurück - die erste internationale Tagung, die ausschließlich dem Pascoli Latinus gewidmet war: Sie hat die wissenschaftliche Diskussion über einen der größten modernen Vertreter der neulateinis...
