Overview

In their range and breadth, the essays in this collection illustrate the cultural force of Neo-Latin in Early Modern Europe. Neo-Latin was a vehicle for the translation of other languages; it united people across boundaries of ethnicity and nation; it carried with it the legacy of classical Latinity; it provided insight into religious doctrine; it shaped the development of early modern vernaculars; and, not least, it offered both style and substance to the evolving practice of Renaissance literary and textual criticism. To the degree that the humanities recognize their roots in the fifteenth-century studia humanitatis – the fields of grammar, rhetoric, history, poetry, and moral philosophy – they are also conscious of how these fields flourish in the domain of Latin culture.

Luc Deitz is Curator of Manuscripts and Rare Books at the Bibliothèque nationale de Luxembourg and Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Latin at the University of Trier (Germany).

Timothy Kircher is Professor of Medieval and Early Modern History at Guilford College.

Jonathan Reid is Associate Professor of Renaissance and Reformation History at East Carolina University.

Praise

“This rich volume gathers essays of lasting significance that are original, profound, and written in remarkably accessible and lively prose. While some present original primary-source scholarship, others offer magisterial surveys of the current state of play in Neo-Latin Studies. Collectively, they make a compelling case for the vitality of the field and its abiding relevance to the humanities writ large.” – Kenneth Gouwens, University of Connecticut

“This volume is a fitting tribute to the scholarship of Charles Fantazzi. Its eleven excellent articles by renowned scholars in the field of Neo-Latin philology, Renaissance humanism, and the history of early modern learning are of extraordinary quality and break new ground in a variety of ways.” – Marc Layreys, Universität Bonn

Golden Retriever Approved!
My 8-year-old golden retriever LOVES these bully sticks! And it makes me very happy to see how much joy she gets from them. They last a long long time, and of all the brands I've tried, these are hands down the best quality and best overall value. I also wanted to point out that this brand doesn't smell bad at all. Some of the other brands I've given her were a little stinky. She didn't care, but I really appreciate that these truly have no odor.

Long lasting - great value - great product.
Our dogs are loving these Bullysticks! At first, I thought maybe the 12” size would be too big for my smaller pups, but to my surprise, they are perfect. We can get at least 4 entertainment sessions per treat, keeping the pups happy and busy for hours. Great value/great product. Thank you Bully & Bones!

Bully Stick
If you’re considering bully sticks for your dog, I highly recommend giving them a try—especially if your pup enjoys long-lasting chews. My French Bulldog absolutely loves hers. She struggled a bit at first, but once she figured out how to hold it steady with her paws, she was happily occupied for hours. It’s been one of the few treats that truly keeps her engaged and satisfied. One tip: choose the size carefully. I initially bought a 12-inch stick, which ended up being a little too big for a smaller dog. A 6-inch option is a better fit for small breeds. Overall, bully and bones sticks have been a great find and a wonderful treat that brings my dog a lot of joy. I’d definitely recommend them to other dog owners looking for something safe, tasty, and long-lasting.
