Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume attempts to bring together, to our knowledge for the first time, aspects of the whole of the long history of Latin as written in Great Britain. The papers explore the use of Latin in different contexts at different periods, from the early Middle Ages until the twentieth century. They range over the subjects of philology, philosophy, scholarship, humanism and teaching methods, with separate chapters for Scotland and Wales. This book arose from a conference sponsored by the Fondazione Cassamarca, which also contributed generously to its publication.ContentsMichael Lapidge: How 'English' is Pre-Conquest Latin.Peter Dronke Arbor eterna: A Ninth-Century Welsh Latin Sequence.>David Luscombe: Roger Bacon and Language.John Marenbon: Robert Holcot and the Pagan Philosophers.David Rundle: Humanist Eloquence among the Barbarians in Fifteenth-Century England.Richard Sharpe: The English Bibliographical Tradition from Kirkestede to Tanner.>Philip Ford: Scottish Nationalism in the Poetry of George Buchanan.>James Binns: The Decline of Latin in Eighteenth-Century England.E.J.
