Beskrivning
Neo-Latin, a truly interdisciplinary and multicultural field of study, has become especially relevant in today's global age. Latin does not belong to any particular country, but to the Republic of Letters with its high aims and universal appeal. A comprehensive critical anthology of Neo-Latin would thus be useful in the classroom, both in secondary school and on university level, as well as for independent scholars. The present volume is comprised of about fifty texts pertaining to geographical areas all around the world, spanning the 14th to the 20th centuries, written in a wide range of genres by authors of varied backgrounds, and touching on topics of dramatic importance for today. The language of the anthology is Latin, in accordance with the universality it aims to represent by its selection of texts.

As a whole, Minkova’s anthology provides a useful collection of influential and fascinating Neo-Latin texts, both known, authoritative works as well as obscurer examples, reflecting the variety of this literature. This volume will be useful to any teacher preparing a class on Neo-Latin texts. But the readership will presumably be wider. The inclusion of important authorities such as Petrarch, Thomas More, and Erasmus provides interesting glimpses into a huge, still widely obscure corpus for scholars of the Renaissance and early modern world from a variety of fields—history, philosophy, the modern philologies, etc. One can only hope that the language of the edition will not only attract lovers of the Latin language, but also not deter interested groups from neighboring fields.Johanna Luggin, Renaissance Quarterly, Volume 73, Issue 1, Spring 2020, https://doi.org/10.1017/rqx.2019.498
