A question of genre
The speech Philip Melanchthon gave on 29 August 1518 at the University of Wittenberg to initiate his professorship is an impressive piece of humanist idealism. Already its title, De corrigendis adolescentiae studiis (On the reform of the studies for the young) reveals his earnest ambitions in introducing reform. Not incidentally, thus, the speech received a lot of attention immediately after its delivery and enjoyed a remarkable popularity even d…

Scholarly Self-Fashioning and Public Image Creation
On August 29, 1518, Philip Melanchthon (1497–1560) ascended the academic rostrum to inaugurate his professorship at Wittenberg University with a fiery speech supporting the studia humanitatis, entitled De corrigendis adolescentiae studiis (On the reform of the studies for the young). However, only twenty-one years old, with a slight speech impediment and a small and skinny build, Melanchthon did not look anything like the awe-inspiring figurehead…

Pro libris lites, pro calamis gladii
When the newly appointed professor of medicine at the University of Rinteln, Johann Peter Lotichius (1598–1669), delivered an oration entitled Oratio super fatalibus hoc tempore academiarum in Germania periculis (“Oration on the pernicious dangers to the universities of contemporary Germany”) at said university in February 1631, the war, which later came to be known as the Thirty Years’ War, had already been in full swing for more than a decade. …

Reflections of “Europe” and continental thinking? The language of inclusion in the Instrumenta Pacis Westphalicae (1648)
The Peace Treaties of Münster and Osnabrück ended the Thirty Years’ War in 1648. While scholarship is still divided between sceptics and supporters regarding the actual impact of the Westphalian Peace on the international order in Europe, let alone the concept of continental community, this article seeks to tackle the issue from an original perspective. A close study of the language and rhetoric employed in the two Latin Instrumenta Pacis Westpha…
Digital Humanities” Reconsidered
Towards Confessional Reconciliation
In 1583, David Chytraeus (1530–1600), one of the key figures of north German Protestant humanism, published his Latin biographical oration De Carolo Quinto Caesare Augusto Oratio on Emperor Charles V (Holy Roman emperor from 1520 to 1556). Despite the numerous confessional conflicts between the German Protestants and the former Catholic monarch, Chytraeus presented the emperor in a strikingly favourable light. To which degree and in which respect…
Unitas multiplex
Despite the growing research on the emergence of the term ‘Europe’ in the Early Modern Period and its implications, concepts and conceptualizations, most studies rely on vernacular sources exclusively. The vast and even unclear amount of Neo-Latin literature processing the discourse on Europe and European identity has yet attracted only little interest. With its proper investigation starting now, the following article aims to make a corresponding…
