Description A Neo-Latin Reader with selections from Petrarch to Rimbaud.
With introductions, notes, sources, references and illustrations.
Neo Latin is a rather clumsy designation for Latin written in the Renaissance and later.
Latin students are rarely exposed to such writing, which is a pity because there is a whole world of highly worthwhile but often sadly neglected texts positively begging to be explored.
Riley's Reader provides a fine introduction to this literature and is bound to open students' eyes to the wealth of material they can investigate, literary, historical and scientific .
