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.
Neo-Latin Drama in Early Modern Europe
From ca. 1300 a new genre developed in European literature, Neo-Latin drama. Building on medieval drama, vernacular theatre and classical drama, it spread around Europe. It was often used as a means to educate young boys in Latin, in acting and in moral issues. Comedies, tragedies and mixed forms were written. The Societas Jesu employed Latin drama in their education and public relations on a large scale. They had borrowed the concept of this drama from the humanist and Protestant gymnasia, and perfected it to a multi media show. However, the genre does not receive the attention that it deserves. In this volume, a historical overview of this genre is given, as well as analyses of separate plays. Contributors include: Jan Bloemendal, Jean-Frédéric Chevalier, Cora Dietl, Mathieu Ferrand, Howard Norland, Joaquín Pascual Barea, Fidel Rädle, and Raija Sarasti Willenius.
Neulateinische Metrik
Die vielfältigen metrischen Innovationen und Experimente in Theorie und Praxis lateinischer Dichtung von ca. 1400 bis 1800 wurden in der bisherigen Forschung kaum gewürdigt. Dabei war es keineswegs so, dass die lateinischen Dichter dieser Zeit immer und überall nur die antike Metrik reproduziert hätten. Von der Erfindung neuer metrischer Einheiten (vom Versfuß bis zur Strophe) über die Adaptation akzentrhythmischer und volkssprachlicher Systeme bis hin zu Formen freier Verse gibt es vieles, was bisher vereinzelt gesehen und gestreift, aber noch nie zusammengetragen und eingehend diskutiert wurde. Der vorliegende Band hat sich dies zum Ziel gesetzt und konzentriert sich programmatisch auf jene Aspekte der neulateinischen Metrik, die aus der antiken Metrik allein nicht erklärbar sind. Er eröffnet damit ein neues Forschungsfeld, das Gräzisten (unter dem Aspekt der Rezeption griechischer metrischer Formen), Latinisten und Neuphilologen gleichermaßen zur Erkundung einlädt.
The Legacy of Christopher Columbus in the Americas
Why is the capital of the United States named in part after Christopher Columbus, a Genoese explorer commissioned by Spain who never set foot on what would become the nation's mainland? Why did Spanish American nationalists in 1819 name a new independent republic "Colombia," after Columbus, the first representative of empire from which they recently broke free? These are only two of the introductory questions explored in The Legacy of Christopher Columbus in the Americas, a fundamental recasting of Columbus as an eminently powerful tool in imperial constructs. Bartosik-Velez seeks to explain the meaning of Christopher Columbus throughout the so-called New World, first in the British American...
