The fi rst study that focuses on the extent of the knowledge of Latin and Roman culture by Post-Byzantine scholars (15th – 19th centuries)

Th is volume aims at fi lling a major gap in international literature concerning the knowledge of the Latin language and literature by Post-Byzantine scholars from the fi ft eenth to the nineteenth centuries. Most of them, immigrants to the West aft er the Fall of Byzantium, harmoniously integrated into their host countries, practiced and perfected their knowledge of the Latin language and literature, excelled in arts and letters and, in many cases, managed to obtain civil, political and clerical offi ces. Th ey wrote original poetic and prose works in Latin, for literary, scholarly and/or political purposes. Th ey also translated Greek texts into Latin, and vice versa. Th e contributors to this volume explore the multifaceted aspects of the knowledge of the Latin language and literature by these scholars. Among the many issues addressed in the volume are: a) the reasons that urged Post-Byzantine scholars to compose Latin

works and disseminate Ancient Greek works to the West and Latin texts to the East, b) their audience, c) the fate of their projects, d) their relations among them and with Western scholars.

In the contents of the volume one can identify well-known Post-Byzantine scholars such as Bessarion or Isidore of Kiev, as well as less-known ones like Ioannis Gemistos, Nikolaos Sekoundinos and others. Hence, hereby is provided a canon of scholars who, albeit Greek, are considered essentially as representatives of Neo-Latin literature, along with others who, through their translations, contributed to the rapprochement – literary and political – of East and West.

Vaios Vaiopoulos is a Professor of Latin Language and Literature at the Department of History of the Ionian University. Ioannis Deligiannis is an Assistant Professor of Latin at the Department of Greek Philology at Democritus University of Th race. Vasileios Pappas is an Assistant Professor of Latin at the University of Ioannina, Greece.

TABLE OF CONTENTS CCLP VOL.12B

‘Latin in Byzantium I’ explores the linguistic compe-tence, cultural identity, and transmission of Latin texts in the ‘noua Roma’ between the fourth and the ninth centu-ries. Drawing together texts from a number of fi elds (e.g., law, grammar, religion, and tactics) and across a range of diff erent forms (e.g., palaeographic, epigraphic, and papyrological), this important project provides scholars for the fi rst time with an in-depth knowledge of both the Latin-speaking milieux in Byzantium, and of the contexts in which Latin was used. Crucially, the ancient sources studied in this volume are also analysed in their broader political and sociological context, providing rich material
