Nonnus of Panopolis in Context II: Poetry, Religion, and Society
Nonnus of Panopolis in Upper-Egypt is the author of the 48 books of the last large scale mythological epic in antiquity, the Dionysiaca. The same author also wrote an epic poem on the life and times of Jesus Christ according to St John’s Gospel. Nonnus has an outstanding position in ancient literature being at the same time a pagan and a Christian author, living in a time when Christianity was common in the Roman empire, while pagan culture and traditional world views were still maintained. The volume is designed to cover literary, cultural and religious aspects of Nonnus’ poetry as well as to highlight the social and educational background of both the Dionysiaca and the Paraphrasis of the Gospel of St. John.

The Ancient Sea
In the ancient Mediterranean world, the sea was an essential domain for trade, cultural exchange, communication, exploration, and colonisation. In tandem with the lived reality of this maritime space, a parallel experience of the sea emerged in narrative representations from ancient Greece and Rome, of the sea as a cultural imaginary. This imaginary seems often to oscillate between two extremes: the utopian and the catastrophic; such representations can be found in narratives from ancient history, philosophy, society, and literature, as well as in their post-classical receptions. Utopia can be found in some imaginary island paradise far away and across the distant sea; the sea can hold an un...

Acta Conventus Neo-Latini Lovaniensis
Every third year, the members of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies (IANLS) assemble for a week-long conference. Over the years, this event has evolved into the largest single conference in the field of Neo-Latin studies. The papers presented at these conferences offer, then, a general overview of the current status of Neo-Latin research; its current trends, popular topics, and methodologies. In 2022, the members of IANLS gathered for a conference in Leuven where 50 years ago the first of these congresses took place.This volume presents the conference’s papers which were submitted after the event and which have undergone a peer-review process. The papers deal with a broad range of fields, including literature, history, philology, and religious studies.
L'Italie et la France dans l'Europe latine du XIVe au XVIIe siècle
Depuis une trentaine d’années, la tradition latine qui permit à l’Europe de s’inventer occupe une place croissante dans les études littéraires en Europe. Or l’humanisme franco-italien est au centre de l’histoire de l’Europe latine parce qu’il est lié à la redécouverte des textes classiques. C’est pourquoi la philologie des humanistes, organisée par les questions de la réception des textes et de leur influence, occupe la première partie des travaux présentés en 2003 au deuxième Congrès de la Société Française des Études Néo-Latines (SFENL). La deuxième partie des études ici réunies s’attache à la question des parallèles et de l’émulation.De façon naturelle, enfin, la traduction des œuvres latines de la Renaissance italienne dans la langue française ménage une voie à double sens entre l’Italie et la France.Nous sommes persuadés qu’au delà des spécialistes de l’humanisme, cette exploration de la genèse latine de la littérature européenne profitera aux médiévistes, aux seizièmistes et aussi aux dix-septièmistes.
