It evidently filled a long-felt lacuna, and was soon out of print. The first part of the second entirely rewritten edition came out in 1990; it consisted in a concise, but comprehensive history of Neo-Latin writings (both literary and scientific) arranged according to geographical and cultural areas (Part I: History and Diffusion of Neo-Latin Literature).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to the explosive growth of Neo-Latin studies in the last decades, it took a couple of years to rewrite and to expand the second part. In this volume an attempt is made to cover all the relevant literary forms and genres of Neo-Latin literature; their characteristics and evolution are described and bibliographical aids have been added; the method is descriptive rather than theoretical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part is followed by linguistic, philological and editorial questions, discussing the features of Neo-Latin vocabulary, syntax, style, prosody and metre, old and modern editions, etc. A historical survey of Neo-Latin studies concludes the book. Several indexes facilitate access to the varied contents of the work. The two volumes of this \u003ci\u003eCompanion\u003c\/i\u003e form an indispensable and up-to-date introduction to the immense and still largely unexplored field of Neo-Latin literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leuven University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611724497047,"sku":"9789061868590","price":8266.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789061868590.webp?v=1775072477","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/companion-to-neo-latin-studies-literary-linguistic-philological-and-editorial-questions-9789061868590","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
