Comments |
Cf.
Jozef Ijsewijn. Companion
to Neo-Latin Studies. "...Using
the term "humanist" clearly distinguishes [Neo-Latin poems] from
the late survival of Latin within the Catholic Church but I would think that
we would probably apply the term to any later poetry composed in Latin
without delving too deeply into the content or philosophical
underpinnings." J. Overholt (term proposer). 20071213,
