My greatest debt is to my supervisor, Andrew Laird, who initially suggested that I might like to work on La Cerda. He has been a constant source of encouragement and support throughout the highs and lows of research and I am fortunate to have benefited from his scholarship. My wife, Rachel Roberts, has been an indefatigable supporter of this work. Not only did she buy me a rare copy of volume one, but she also provided encouragement at every turn and afforded me time when I needed it the most. I owe her a great deal and I hope that this debt of thanks goes some way to starting to repay her belief in me. I would also like to thank my colleagues in the Classics Department at Harrow School for their constant support and for their willingness to take on additional burdens of teaching and marking during my absence. Ben Shaw deserves particular thanks as does Simon MacPherson, who read parts of the work and made numerous suggestions and improvements. Both Uppingham School and Harrow School provided generous financial assistance but I would like to record my gratitude in particular to Jim Hawkins who granted me a short sabbatical to complete this work. I would also like to thank the following people who have helped me along the way: Prof. Bruce Gibson, Dr Dan Orrells, Ian Fielding, Tom Waldman, James Buffoni, Hugh Thompson, Prof. Trevor Dadson, Judith Affleck, Steve Edwards, Suzanne Roberts, Kath Roberts, Ruth and Richard Meadows, the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Warwick, Pembroke College library, Cambridge and the Institute of Classical Studies in London where much of this work was written. Since I began this project I have lost a father but gained a wife and two children, Isabella (3) and Iris (1). This puts me in net profit. Although my Dad is not here to see this thesis completed I know that he has been with me every step of the way and he would be immensely proud of the achievement. This work is dedicated to him. Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis has not already been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not currently submitted in candidature for any other degree. It is the result of my own independent investigation, and all authorities and sources which have been consulted are acknowledged in the Bibliography. Signed ……………………… John Lloyd Roberts Date ……………… 07/08/13 Abstract This thesis presents a new Latin text of the Prolegomena and accompanying prefatory material of the Cologne 1642 edition of the Virgil commentary by the Spanish Jesuit scholar Juan Luis De La Cerda. It provides an original English translation of this material along with explanatory notes which focus upon the social, educational, intellectual and political influences that informed La Cerda’s work. The notes also take account of some of the rhetorical and stylistic aspects of La Cerda’s work. An introduction situates the work in its cultural and intellectual context and provides a clear overview of the structure and composition of the Prolegomena. Preface La Cerda’s status as the greatest commentator on Virgil has never been challenged. The influence of his monumental work is clearly visible in many modern editions of Virgil’s poetry, some of which have used his commentary at length, others simply in passing. Indeed, the influence of La Cerda’s commentary has always been evident even if it has not been adequately acknowledged. The monumental edition of Christian Gottlob Heyne (1767-1775) and revised by G.

    the Classical Tradition Quaritch 2021 B. Scalvini inv. A. Pasternack inc. ‘To read the Greek and Latin authors in their original is a sublime luxury... I thank on my knees, Him who directed my early education, for having put into my possession this rich source of delight; and I would not exchange it for anything which I could then have acquired’. Thus wrote Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Priestley. It was one of many manifest testimonials which, together with countless implicit quotations or references, a Founding Father owner of an exceptionally impressive library gave in celebration of his and his people’s Classical heritage. ‘The classical tradition is both so integrally and diffusely relevant to Western culture that much cultural development that seems unrelated to it is either implicated in it, even if (like Christianity) ultimately independent of it, or else arises, in significant part, out of it, even in reaction to it’ (The Classical Tradition: Art, Literature, Thought (2014), p. 248). Reflex, use, reconstitution, or response – the dialogue between modernity and the classical world, which began in the Renaissance, flourished in the early-modern era, and shaped the forming of America and modern Western societies, continues to enable our understanding of past and present. This short list is an eclectic gathering of books which represent moments in this rich tradition. N��-P�������� M��������: ��� ‘B����� �� T�� T�����’ �� W������ P��������� ������ 1.

  • Introduction: the Translations of Renaissance Latin* Andrew Taylor Churchill College, Cambridge
    Introduction: The Translations of Renaissance Latin* Andrew Taylor Churchill College, Cambridge Neo-Latin was the lingua franca of the cosmopolitan intellectual and literary culture 329 of Renaissance Europe, and was the language in which ideas and texts circulated among the Latinate elite. The names given to the profound, interrelated, but some- times dissonant cultural movements of the early modern period—‘Renaissance’, ‘Reformation’, ‘Scientific Revolution’—signal the critical turning away from inherited habits of thinking about humankind and its relationship to nature and supernature. Neo-Latin was the language in which newly recovered or discovered ideas tended to contest established and often deeply entrenched and institutionalised modes of inter- pretation and their linguistic forms. Humanists from the age of Petrarch onwards sought to reform Latin along the lines of the best classical models, with pedagogy, after a far briefer formal introduc- tion to grammar, focusing on the reading and imitation of these in the pursuit of pure classical usage (see Jensen). Once the teaching of Greek began to establish itself in Italy in the early fifteenth century (see Botley,Learning Greek), the practice of imita- tion and its related exercise in paraphrase from Latin into Latin expanded to include interlingual Greek-Latin transactions. The discussion of these rhetorical exercises for the orator in the treatises of Cicero and Quintilian deeply influenced ideas of human- ist translation as a display of eloquence (for example: Cicero’s De finibus 1.2.6 and 3.4.15; De oratore 1.3.155; the pseudo-Ciceronian De optimo genere oratorum 4.14; and Quintilian’s Institutio oratoria 10.5.9-25.

Elle se trouve tout entière placée sous le signe du Prince de l'Humanisme, le plus grand auteur de la Renaissance, un des plus grands Européens par son esprit et à son époque probablement l'homme le plus célèbre du monde. La Belgique devait commémorer dignement le 500e anniversaire de la naissance d'Érasme, car l'humaniste de Rotterdam a vécu dans nos régions de 1502 à 1504 et de 1517 à 1521. Son influence sur la Cour, sur les milieux dirigeants et ceux des savants, y fut considérable. Érasme et Louvain, Érasme et Anvers, Bruges et Gand, Érasme et les imprimeurs des Pays-Bas Méridionaux, Érasme et Pierre Gillis, Érasme et Quentin Metsijs, Érasme et la Cour de Brabant, sont autant de chapitres importants de la biographie du grand humaniste. Le Centre interuniversitaire d'histoire de l'Humanisme n'a donc eu aucune peine à trouver un sujet approprié à la commémoration nationale d'Érasme dont il a pris l'initiative. Le thème ‘Érasme et la Belgique’ s'est imposé tout naturellement et pour notre colloque international et pour l'exposition organisée simultanément à la Bibliothèque Royale Albert Ier.
