An Anthology of British Neo-Latin Literature

It includes a general introduction to and bibliography to the Latin literature of these centuries, as well as Latin texts with English translations, introductions and notes. These texts present a rich panorama of the different literary genres, styles and themes flourishing at the time, illustrating th…

A Hidden Anagram in Valerius Flaccus
In Virgil's third eclogue, the goatherd Menalcas responds to his challenger Damoetas by offering as his wager in their contest of song a pair of embossed cups, caelatum diuini opus Alcimedontis ( Ecl. 3.37), decorated with a pattern of vine and ivy. In the middle of this design, he says, are two figures. One is the astronomer Conon, and the other—at this point Menalcas, afflicted with a sudden loss of memory, professes to have forgotten the name …
Latin Literature and its Transmission
This is a series of innovative studies in the textual and literary criticism of Latin literature, exploring how these two branches of the discipline are mutually supportive. The contributors include many leading scholars in the field. Individual essays are devoted to Catullus, Cicero, Horace, Lucretius, Ovid, Tacitus and Virgil, and there are also essays on the Renaissance reception of Virgil and on principles of editorial practice. The collectio…
Virgil's Fourth Eclogue and the Visual Arts
Virgil's poetry has frequently appeared in illustrated editions, and has regularly provided subjects for other works of art, including some of the most celebrated masterpieces of the western tradition. In view of its constant appropriation in literary contexts over the course of the centuries, we might expect the famous fourth Eclogue (the so-called ‘messianic’ eclogue) to have exerted more of an impact on visual culture than it appears to have d…
Epitome and Eternity
In few (if any) genres of Roman poetry do ‘embedded’ inscriptions appear with such regularity or such prominence as in Latin love elegy. Propertius, Tibullus, Ovid, and their elegiac successors all rank the composition of epitaphs for their own personae and for other inhabitants of their poetic world among their chief literary pastimes — and the same is true of votive inscriptions, of which the genre includes numerous examples. Part of the reason…
Ovid, Remedia Amoris 95
Anagrams and syllabic wordplay of the kind championed by Frederick Ahl in his Metaformations have not always been favourably received by scholars of Latin poetry; I would hesitate to propose the following instance, were it not for the fact that its occurrence seems peculiarly apposite to the context in which it appears. That Roman poets were prepared to use such techniques to enhance the presentation of an argument by exemplifying its operation a…

Renaissance? Perceptions of Continuity and Discontinuity in Europe, c.1300- c.1550
The contribution attempts through few chosen examples to shed some light on the cultural and artistic activity on the territory of the crown lands of Bohemia in the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century, from the perspective of specific parallel with Italian humanism and the early Renaissance of the Italian trecento. The art under Venceslas IV represents paths to "another" Renaissance.

The drowned and the saved
Throughout the corpus of Latin love elegy, the imaginary tombs envisaged by the elegists for their own personae and for other inhabitants of their poetic world display a striking tendency to take on the characteristic attributes and personalities of those interred within. The final resting-place of Propertius, for instance, that self-proclaimed acolyte of Callimachean miniaturism and exclusivity, is to be sequestered from the degrading attentions…
Tibullus' Elegiac Underworld
TIBULLUS' ELEGIAC UNDERWORLDOne of the earliest and most extensive accounts of the underworld in Roman elegiac poetry is to be found in the third poem of Tibullus' first book. 1 Sundered from Delia's embrace through the obligations of military service, and prevented by illness from following Messalla's campaign to the East, the poet lies sick on Phaeacia (the island of Corfu) and muses upon the contrast between the wretchedness of his-and mankind…
