Milena Minkova is Professor of Classics at the University of Kentucky.

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
