List of Neo-Latin authors

Last updated

This is a list of authors writing fiction, in prose or poetry, in a Neo-Latin idiom, highlighted by academics working in Neo-Latin studies as outstanding or important for their contribution to poetry, Latitinity, drama, or other prose. They are often the focus of current research in that field.

Contents

Neo-Latin was the first major international, standardised linguistic vehicle for printed works in Europe, and the dominant medium for academic and religious discourse during the sixteenth and start of the seventeenth century. As an international language, Neo-Latin authors often knew the works of contemporaries in other countries, as well as having common cultural references, through both Classical Roman and Greek texts, and later Christian works. While many Neo-Latin authors and works are less well known now, study of their works is important to understand the development of science, literature and vernacular literary cultures.

Neo-Latin literature and its notable authors are explored and identified in a number of standard reference works. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Neo-Latin</span> Form of the Latin language used from the 14th century to present

Neo-Latin is the style of written Latin used in original literary, scholarly, and scientific works, first in Italy during the Italian Renaissance of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and then across northern Europe after about 1500, as a key feature of the humanist movement. Through comparison with Latin of the Classical period, scholars from Petrarch onwards promoted a standard of Latin closer to that of the ancient Romans, especially in grammar, style, and spelling. The term Neo-Latin was however coined much later, probably in Germany in the late eighteenth century, as Neulatein, spreading to French and other languages in the nineteenth century. Medieval Latin had diverged quite substantially from the classical standard and saw notable regional variation and influence from vernacular languages. Neo-Latin attempts to return to the ideal of Golden Latinity in line with the Humanist slogan ad fontes.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">False god</span> Derogatory term for foreign deities in Abrahamic religions

The phrase false god is a derogatory term used in Abrahamic religions to indicate cult images or deities of non-Abrahamic Pagan religions, as well as other competing entities or objects to which particular importance is attributed. Conversely, followers of animistic and polytheistic religions may regard the gods of various monotheistic religions as "false gods", because they do not believe that any real deity possesses the properties ascribed by monotheists to their sole deity. Atheists, who do not believe in any deities, do not usually use the term false god even though that would encompass all deities from the atheist viewpoint. Usage of this term is generally limited to theists, who choose to worship some deity or deities, but not others.
