Recent Studies in Neo-Latin Literature

zyxwvutsrq zyxw zyxwvut zyxwv zy Recent Studies in the English Renaissance ELR bibliographical articles are intended to combine a topical review of research with a reasonably complete bibliography. Scholarship is organized by authors or titles of anonymous works. Items included represent combined entries listed in the annual bibliographies published by PMLA, YWES.and MHRA from 1945 through, in the present instance, 1992. The format used here is a modified version of that used in Recent Studies in English Renaissance Drama, ed. Terence P. Logan and Denzel S.Smith, 4 vols. (Univ. of Nebraska Press, 1973-78). The ELR series is edited by Elizabeth H. Hageman ofthe University ofNew Hampshire and supported by the Department of English, UNH. RECENT STUDIES IN NEO-LATIN LITERATURE RICHARD F . HARDIN The following bibliography takes “literature” in a fairly restricted sense, omitting most considerations of theological, philosophical, scientific, and historical writing in Latin.* I . G E N E R ASTUDIES L J, W.Binns, Intellectual Culture in Elizabethan andlacobem England: T h e Latin Writings offhe Age (1g90), furnishes a 761-page guide to Latin books written by British authors and printed in England from the 1530s to 1640. Chapters survey Latin poetry (including authors, trends, and genres), critical theory, drama, Ciceronianism, and such broader subjects as education, theology, and law. Binns provides an 8s-page bibliography and a “biographical register” of writers, vital information on about a thousand men and women. While noting many tasks yet to be done in the field, Binns pays special attention to the earlier Latin poets Shepery, Leland, Chaloner, and Parkhurst, and the dramatists Grimald, Gager, Alabaster, and Gwinne. Also prominent *I express my thanks to Professor Richard Schoeck for his comments on a draft o f this bibliography, and wish to acknowledge helpful communications from J. W. B h s , I. D. McFarlane. and Marvin Spcvack. 660 Richard F. Hardin zy zy z 66 I are Gabriel Harvey, Laurence Humphrey, Elizabeth Jane Weston, Henry Dethick, John Rainolds, and John Case. Jozef IJsewijn, Companion to NeoLatin Studies (1977; and ed., pt. I , 1990). covers all post-medieval Latin writing in Europe and America through the twentieth century, with information on bibliographies, journals, and national background. Part I of the 2nd ed., the “History and Diffusion of Neo-Latin Literature,” a supplement to HumLov, is much expanded. Ijsewijn’s wide scope requires limited treatment of Britain and Ireland, though British topics recur in several chapter bibliographies. Chapters deal with textual study, language, style, prosody, scientific writing, literary forms and genres, and classical authors’ influences o n the period. Specializing in Neo-Latin are the various volumes of Acta Conventus Neo-Latini (running title followed by city of origin: Turonensis, etc.), papers from the now-triennial meetings of the International Congress o f Neo-Latin Studies, the first volume (for the 1971 congress) being published in 1973. The present bibliography includes only items from these volumes directly pertinent to British Renaissance literature, but readers will find much else of use in them. (Note: In the following pages the aforementioned series will be listed with city name and year of publication, e.g., Acta . . . Lovaniensis [1973].) O n the use of the language, Sarah Stever Gravelle, “The Latin-Vernacular Question and Humanist Theory of Language and Culture,”JHI, 49 (1988), 367-86, argues that ideas about Latin’s copious vocabulary and sophisticated grammar steered humanists’ preference away from the vernacular. L. G . Kelly, “Medicine, Learned Ignorance, and Style in Seventeenth-Century Translation,” LangGS, 19 (1986), I 1-20, explores “grammatical translation” from Latin as viewed by Puritans and Baconians. Margareta Benner and Emin Tengstrom, On the Interpretation $Learned Neo-Latin: A n Explorative Study Based on Some Textsfrom Sweden, Studia Graeca et Latina Gothoburgensia, 39 (1977)~using academic dissertations from 161I to 1716, considers peculiarities of punctuation and accent marks, special terminologies and neologisms, the influence of stylistic word-lists, and the relaxing of classical syntax-rules. Lexicography remains a special problem in Neo-Latin, the dictionary projected in the 1950s never having materialized. Two ongoing projects that include some Neo-Latin are J. W. Fuchs and Olga Weiljers, Lexicon Latinitatis Nederlandicae Medii Aevi (1977-), and R. E. Latham and D. R. Howlett, Dictionary ofMedieval Latin from British Sources ( I 975-), both now appearing in fascicles. For discussion of the field with a short word-list see Richard J. Schoeck, with Martina Rutt and H.-W. Bartz, “A Step Towards a Neo Latin Lexicon: A First Word-List Drawn from Humanistica Lovaniensia,” HumLov, 39 (1990), 340-65; 40 (1991)~ 423-45. DeWitt T.Starnes, Renaissance Dictionaries English-Latin and Latin-English (1954). studies lexicographical history zyxw z 662 zyxw zyxwvu zyxw English Literary Renaissance from the mid-1400s to 1736. Starnes and Ernest William Talbert, Classical Myth and Legend in Renaissance Dictionaries: A Study of Renaissance D i c t i o naries in Their Relation to the Classical Learning ofContemporary English W r i t e r s (195s). recover the allegorical meanings of myths as recorded in o r d i n a r y Latin dictionaries (copious Latin quotations not translated). Principal “wrirers” are Spenser, Shakespeare,Jonson, Heywood, and Milton. O n the recondite vocabulary of housekeeping see Christopher A. Upton and John M. Fletcher, “The Latinity of an Oxford College,” Acta . . . Sanctandreuni (1986). SII--17.For certain vocabularies one can use such specialized resources as William T. Stearn, Botanical Latin: History, Grammar, S y n t a x , Terminology, and Vocabulary 3d ed. (1983). Acta . . . Turonensis (1980) contains several papers on lexical matters in special fields like botany and mathematics; on legal terms see M. J. Silverthorne, “Civil Society and State, Law a n d Rights: Some Latin Terms and Their Translation in the Natural Jurisprudence Tradition,” Actu . . . Torontonensis ( I W I ) , 677-87. Among the various studies in R. R. Bolgar, ed., Classical Znfluences on European Culture A . D . 1500-1700 (1976), most relevant are those by IJsewijn on sermo and satire, Sparrow on making a Neo-Latin verse anthslogy, Ong and McFarlane on Textor’s epithets, and W. Ludwig on elegy. Retha M. Warnicke, “Women and Humanism in England,” in Albert Rabil, Jr., ed., Renaissance Humanism: Foundations, Forms and Legacy (1988), 11, 39-54, surveys the extent of Latin learning in the generation after More, noting the case of Anthony Cooke’s five daughters, who included Lady Bacon and L a d y Burghley. Scottish Latin poetry and prose receive a chapter each in the first volume of The History .f Scottish Literature, gen.ed. Cairns Craig (1988). proposing Deliciae Poetarum Scotorum as the culmination of Latin poetry in Scotland. Two relevant items in John MacQueen, ed., Humanism in Renaissance Scothnd (1990) are MacQueen’s essay on the “essentially Latin a n d historical” nature of Scottish humanism, and John Durkan on the universities and the number (600)and variety of grammar schools. A brief introduction to Welsh Latin writers is Ceri Davies, Latin Writers ofthe Renaissance (1981),mainly on prose, although Stradling and Owen receive several pages among the poets. For Ireland, see John T. Silke, “Irish Scholarship and the Renaissance, 1580-1673,” Studies in the Renaissance, 20 (I973), 169-203, which discusses Latinity abroad and at home, noting authors like William Bathe, S. J., and Bartholomew Baron, 0. F. M. On writing biographies of Neo-Latin authors see Schoeck in Acta, below, 111, BBB. Because education was incorrigibly literary and rhetorical, a book with particular relevance to literature is Anthony Grafton and Lisa Jardine, From Humanism to the Humanities: Education and the Liberal Arts in F$eenth- and Sixteenth-Century Europe (1986). The authors argue that humanists’ methodology and dependence on patronage undercut claims made for literary education. Topics covered include the education of women, the spread of zyxwv zy zyx zyxwvu zyx zyxw zy zy zyxwvu zy zyxwv zyxwv Richard F. Hardin 663 Greek. Northern (especially Erasmian) humanism, and Ramism (with attention to Harvey), the climax of the whole movement of humanism toward the pragmatic. The first three chapters of M. L. Clarke, Education in Britain, 1500-1900 (1959), describe curriculum and classroom routine in both grammar schools and universities. Linguistic education and rhetoric in this period are much indebted to Walter J. Ong, S. J. His “Latin Language Study as a Renaissance Puberty Rite,” SP, 56 (1959)~103-24, deals with the significance of Latin in Renaissance culture and beyond, as does “Latin and the Social Fabric,” in his The Barbarian Within (1962). Exactly what was meant by learning, and what authors, including neo-Latin ones, were read is the subject of a wide-ranging article by RichardJ. Schoeck, “Renaissance Guides to Renaissance Learning,” Acta . . . Turonensis (i980), 239-62. The standard book on Ramism remains Ong’s Ramus: Method and the Decay ofDialogue (1958). Ong, Ramus and Talon Inventory (1958) lists editions and translations of these influential thinkers and of Rudolf Agricola’s Dialectical Invention, as well as later books by Ramist controversialists like Richard Harvey. Catherine M. Dunne, ed., The Logike ofPeter Ramus, trans. Roland McIlmaine ( I 5 7 4 , Renaissance Eds., 3 (1969), shows how this translation affected British Ramism. Serial bibliographies are, since 1954, the “Neo Latin News” section of SCN, and more systematically, since 1970, the annual summary of scholarship in Y W M L S . A journal specializing in Neo-Latin since Volume 17 (1968) is HumLou, which also provides an annual bibliography. For an evaluation (with bibliography) of the state of scholarship in Neo-Latin including Britain, see Lawrence V. Ryan in The Present State ofScholarship in SixteenthCentury Literature, ed. William M. Jones (1978), pp. 197-257. A reprint ofthe first ( I 557-1559) census of British Latin and vernacular writers is John Bale, Scriptorum Zllustrium Majoris Brytanniae . . . Catalogus (1971; also 1989 as Index . . .; and see Pits in 111, below). English texts were sometimes Latinized: see W. Leonard Grant, “European Vernacular Works in Latin Translation,” Studies in the Renaissance, I (1954). 120-56, which includes Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, English history, biography, and exploration. Focusing on English is J. W. Binns, “Latin Translations from English in Renaissance England, 1550-1640,” RPLit, 5.2 (1982). 25-40, with mostly non-literary instances except for Kynaston’s Chaucer. Dinns, “Latin Translations from Greek in the English Renaissance,” HumLov, 27 (1978). 128-59, mostly considers non-literary work, except for some minor poems and Watson’s Antigone. 11. S T U D I E SO F SELECTED TOPICS A. Criticism. The continuity between Latin and English writing of the period is exemplified in William Temple’s “Analysis” ofsir Philip Sidney’s “Apol- 664 zyxwvuts zyxwvuts zy zy zyxw English Literary Renaissance ogyfor Poetry,” ed. John Webster, MRTS, 32 (1984). Temple draws out the assumptions and premises running through Sidney. Webster gives a brief introduction to Ramism and a glossary of such jargon as “conjugates” a n d “disparates.” An important controversy about the propriety of university drama appears in John Rainolds and Alberico Gentili, Latin Correspondence by Alberico Gentili andjohn Rainolds on Academic Drama, trans. Leon Markowics (1977). For an edition and translation of Gentili’s Oxford Commenfutio (I 593). seeJ. W. Binns, “Alberico Gentili in Defence of Poetry and Acting,” Studies in the Renaissance, 19 (1972)~ 224-72. Paul R. Sellin, “From Re5 to Pathos: The Leiden ‘Ordo Aristotelis’ and the Origins of Seventeenth-Century Recovery of the Pathetic in Interpreting Aristotle’s Poetics,” in Jan van Dorsten, ed., Ten Studies in Anglo-Dutch Relations (1974)~ pp. 72-93, shows how the Aberdeen scholar Gilbert Jack influenced Heinsius’ reordering of chapters in the Poetics, and reprints Heinsius’ poem to Jack. Sellin’s “The Last of the Renaissance Monsters: The Poetical Institutions of Gerardus Joannis Vossius, and Some Observations on English Criticism,” in his and Stephen B. Baxter’s Clark Library lectures, Anglo-Dutch Cross Currents in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries (1976), shows that Vossius finishes what J. C. Scaliger began, perhaps influencing Milton and Dryden. Wesley Trimpi, ‘3onson and the Neo-Latin Authorities for the Plain Style,” PMLA, 77 (1962), 21-26, discusses stylistic decorum in relation to subject as Latin authorities like Lips& influence English critical principles. See also Binns, I, A, and especially Binns on Henry Dethick, below, 111. B. Drama. Primary texts have been made more available by Marvin Spevack, J. W. Binns, and Hans-Jiirgen Weckermann, general editors of the series, Renaissance Latin Drama in England, being published by Georg Olms since 1982.

School and university Latin drama is terrain only half charted, but see Alan H. Nelson, Cambridge: Records ofEarly English Drama, 2 vols. (1989), for material on that university. Volume I amasses information from college and university records; documentation in Volume 2 surveys drama in the colleges, explains many details (e. g., the Ignorumus controversy), describes travelling companies, and indexes names in documents. Nelson, “Contexts for Early English Drama: The Universities,” in Marianne G. Briscoe and John C. Coldewey, ed., Contextsfor Early English Drama (I989), pp. 138-59. with bibliography, finds the heyday ofuniversity drama in the middle third of the sixteenth century. Sandra Billington, “Sixteenth-Century Drama in St. John’s College, Cambridge” RES, 29 (1978). 1-10, reports on newly found inventories of players’ costumes and other properties indicating the variety of college theater, especially from I 548 to I 562. David Greenwood, “The Staging of Neo-Latin Plays in Sixteenth Century England,” Educational Theatrejournal, 16 (1964)~311-23, has Gager as a principal subject. School and college histories often provide accounts of dramatic activity, hence the chronicle in W. G. Hiscock, A Christ Church Miscellany (1946), beginning with Grimald’s Archipropheta. Using archival sources, especially the daily accounts, Suzanne Gossett, “Drama in the English College, Rome, 15911660,” E L R , 3 (1973)~60-93, details circumstances of production, audience, staging, and music. Ten plays are known, Joseph Simons being the only identified author. Abigail Ann Young, “Plays and Players: The Latin Terms u. zyx 666 zyxw zyxwvu zy zyxwv zy zy zyxwv English Literary Renaissance for Performance,” R E E D N , 9 (1984), 56-62; 10 (1985), 9-16, retrieves the meanings of words like histrio (musician, singer, ?player) and lusio (performance, play). Joanne Spencer Kantrowitz, “Palsgrave’s Translation of Scaena,” S C N , 3 0 (197z), 80-81, shows that in 1540 “scaena” could m e a n booth or tent. Elmer M. Blistein. ed., The Drama ofthe Renaissance: Essaysfor Leicester Bradner (1970), contains two pertinent items: J. W. Binns’ appreciation of Gager’s stagecraft in Meleager and Ulysses Redux, and a bibliography of Bradner’s scholarship, much of which concerns Neo-Latin literature. Binns also contributes “Seneca and Neo-Latin Tragedy in England,” in Seneca, ed. C. D. N. Costa (1974). 205-34, singling out Alabaster, Gwinne, and the anon. Perfidus Hetruscus, praised for inventive handling of familiar motifs. Martin Mueller, Children ofoedipus and Other Essays on the Imitation of G r e e k Tragedy 1550-1800 (1980) reflects on the “quest for equivalents” to ancient subjects in humanist tragedy, and on Buchanan’sJephrha. Uwe Baumann, “Seneca-Rezeption im neulateinischen Drama der englischen Renaissance,” LJGG, 3 0 (1989), 55-78, shows the stages from “reproducing reception” to “productive reception” in Gager’s Hippolytus, Legge’s Richardus, and Antonius Bassianus Caracalla (a tragedy of ne&). Unusual in covering both English and Latin drama is Gisela Dahinten, Die Geistersrene in der Trag6cfie vor Shakespeare, Palaestra, 225 (1958):she finds varieties and instances of the “ghost scene” in Goldingham’s Herodes, Alabaster’s Roxana, and these anonomous plays: Solyrnannus, Caracalla, Fatum Vortigerni, and PerJidus Hetruscus. Marvin T. Herrick, Tragicomedy: Its Origin and Development in Italy, France, and England ( 1 9 5 5 ) ~Chap, 2, “The Contribution of the Christian Terence to Tragicomedy,” shows how the vogue of Terentian Latin school comedy grew from the publication of Hrotswitha’s plays in 1 5 0 1 . By the 1530s playwrights consciously wrote a new “mixed drama” on sacred subjects. Lily B. Campbell, Divine Poetry and Drama in Sixteenth-Century England (1959), concerned with Latin and English plays, traces the Continental origins of biblical drama. Ruth H. Blackburn, Biblical Drama under the Tudors (1971), discusses Watson’s Absalom, Grimald’s C h r i s m and Archiprophera, Christopherson’slephthe,and Foxe’s Christus Triumphans, stressing the novelty ofthe genre and the variety of influences. William R. Streitberger, “The Play Called ‘Heretic Luther’ (1527),” T A , 44 (1989-1990), 21-36, sees politico-religious drama in England as starting with Cardinalis Pacificus, a blend of humanist Latin drama and civic pageantry. A moral question much discussed in print and manuscripts, focusing on the Deuteronomic injunction against transvestism, is the subject ofJ. W. Binns, “Women or Transvestites on the Elizabethan Stage? An Oxford Controversy,” SCJ, 5 (1974), 95120. For foreign Latin plays on British topics (More’s life prominent among them), see Friedrich-K. Unterweg, “English, Scottish, and Irish History in Continental Jesuit Drama,” Acta . . . Torontonensis (1991),781-801. zyxwv zyxw zyxw zyxw zyx zyxwv Richard F. Hardin 667 Alfred Harbage, Annals ofEnglish Drama 975-z700, 3d ed., rev. Samuel Schoenbaum and Sylvia Stoler Wagonheim (1989), lists chronologically Plays both lost and extant: look under “type” to find Latin plays (readier reference to extant Latin plays is Harbage, “A Census of Anglo-Latin Plays,” P M L A ~53 [I938], 624-29). L. Bradner, “The Latin Drama of the Renaissance (1314-1650),” Studies in the Renaissance, 4 (1957), 31-70, surveys the State of scholarship, with some attention to Britain, ending with a list of original Latin plays printed before 1650. Bradner looks at the vogue of such types as comedy, plays on classical subjects and recent history, and student moralities. Bradner and Louis A. Schuster, S. M., “Neo-Latin Drama: Two Views of Opportunities,” R O R D , 6 (1963), 14-20, suggest points requiring critical investigation (e.g., the nature of Latin history plays). c. poetry. The fullest recent anthology of British Latin poets is in Pierre Lauren%ed., Musae Reduces, 2 vols. (1975), 11, 395-513 (trans. and apparatus in French). Fred J. Nichols, ed. and trans., A n Anthology ofNeo-Latin Poetry (1979). samples More, Buchanan, Owen, and Milton, with bibliographies and a long critical introduction. Alessandro Perosa and John Sparrow, ed. Renaissance Latin Verse: an Anthology (1979), select poems from More, Leland, Haddon, and Buchanan. Some poets ofthe period also appear in Early American Latin Verse 1625-1825: A n Anthology, ed. Leo M. Kaiser (1984)-with Latin text only. Many Cambridge poets (including Herbert, G. Fletcher, Gager, H. Fitzgeffrey) appear in a previously unpublished collection of encomia presented to Elector Frederick and Princess Elizabeth in 1613: Carmen Grutulans Adventu Serenissimi Principis Frederici, ed. and trans. Philip Dust, 2 voh. (1975). Volume I contains a very long introduction and text; Volume 2, the notes and Greek poems. Leicester Bradner, “Musae Anglicunae: A Supplemental List,” LibraryJ 22 (1967), 93-101, offers Over a hundred items not in his book, adding an appendix on John Owen. Discussing the pro’s and con’s of writing poems in a “dead” language are Leo Spitzer, “The Problem ofLatin Renaissance Poetry,” Studies in the Renuissance, 2 (1955), 137-55 (con), and John Sparrow, “Latin Verse of the High Renaissance,” in Italian Renaissance Studies, ed. F. A. Jacob (1960) (pro). Also “pro” is Edmund Blunden, ‘‘Some Seventeenth-Century Latin Poems by English Writers,” U T Q , 25 (1955), 10-22, who comments on and translates poems by Crashaw, Donne, Herbert (on his mother), and Milton. Leonard Foster, The Poet’s Tongue: ~ultiZinguuljsmin Literature (1970), touches on Weckerlin, Milton’s predecessor as Latin secretary, and Latin emblem books as vehicles of stock themes and images throughout Europe. A collection of general interest is J. W. Binns, ed., The Latin Poetry ofEnglish Poets (I974), which includes Binns’ survey of T. Campion’s varied output, favoring his satire and love elegies. W. Hilton Kelliher examines the satire and wit of Herbert’s epigrams against Melville, connects his English and Latin poems, zyxwv 668 zyxw zyxwvu zy zyxwv zy English Literary Renaissance and relates some poems to the life. R. W. Condee writes on Milton’s Latin poems. Kenneth J. Larsen shows that Crashaw’s Epigrammata Sacra are as English as Continental, following a careful thematic plan from faith to love. An orientation to Scottish Latin poetry is James W. L. Adams, “The Renaissance Poets: ( 2 ) Latin,” in Scottish Poetry: A Crifical Survey, ed. James Kinsley (I955), pp. 68-98, which organizes the survey by religious periods, culminating in the “Episcopalian”phase with the Defitiae Poetarum Scotorum (1637). Dominic Baker-Smith, “ ‘Great Expectations’: Sidney’s Death and the Poets,” in Jan Van Dorsten et al., ed., Sit Philip Sidney: 1586 und the Creation o.f Legend (1986), pp. 83-103, takes particular interest in the Latin elegies of the Cambridge Lachrymae, with poems by James VI and G. Fletcher. Similar Latin elegies on Bacon’s death appear in Manes Krularni, ed. and trans. W. G. C. Grundy (1950).a facsimile with notes on the authors. Early Tudor patronage of Continental poets is considered by David Carlson, “King Arthur and Court Poems for the Birth ofArthur Tudor in 1486,”HumLou, 3 6 (1987). 147-83 (texts appended). The Latin and English poetry on England’s deliverance from the Gunpowder Plot is the subject of Richard F. Hardin, “The Early Poetry of the Gunpowder Plot: Myth in the Making,” ELR, 24 (1992), 62-79, which sees the poems as helping create the Guy Fawkes myth (see also Haan under “Herring,” 111, JJ). Scholarship on particular poetic forms includes W. Leonard Grant, NeeLatin Literature and the Pastoral (1965). less concerned with English eclogues than Continental and Scottish ones. Grant describes many Renaissance collections of pastoral poetry and finds exotic sub-species like “vinitory” eclogues. James A. Gaertner, “Latin Verse Translations of the Psalms I 5001620,”H T R , 49 (1956), 271-305, discusses aims and practices, listing many examples. Following Gaertner is W. Leonard Grant, “New Latin Verse translations of the Bible,” H T R , 52 (I959), 205-1 I , with a survey of biblical translations other than Psalms. Latin poetry on the British legendary past is treated in T. D. Kendrick, British Antiquity (1950). Pattern poems in many languages including Latin (pp. 25-53) are traced in Dick Higgins, Pattern Poetry: Guide to an Unknown Literature (1987), which covers such poets as Richard Willis (England’s earliest in this vein), Gager, and Andrew Willet. Epigrams are the most familiar type, often linked to affairs of the day. Hoyt Hopewell Hudson, The Epigram in the Engfish Renaissance (posthumous, 1947). deals almost wholly with the Latin epigrammatists, beginning with More, then “scholarly epigrammatists” (W. Lily, Leland, Parkhurst, Haddon, Buchanan, Chaloner, Drant, T. Newton), and ending with a discussion of epigram-writing in the schools. A general introduction is Lawrence V. Ryan, “The Shorter Latin Poem in Tudor England,” HumLov, 26 (I977), 1 0 1 - 3 1 , highlighting More, Leland, John Parkhurst, Campion, Fitzgeffrey, Owen, and Haddon. David Carlson, “Politicizing Tudor Court zy zy Richard F. Hardin zyxw zy 669 Literature: Gaguin’s Embassy and Henry VII’s Humanists’ Response,” SP, 85 (19881, 279-304, discusses the controversy begun by the ambassador Gaguin’s epigram on the English failures in peace negotiations, reprinting the poem with replies by Henry’s foreign-born court-poets. Anne Lake Prescqtt, “English Writers and Beza’s Latin Epigrams,” Studies in the RendsJ a n 4 21 (1974), 83-1 17, describes the epigrams in Beza’s juvenilia, then traces allusions and translations (by Grimald, Kendall, A. Wright, T. Heywood, et al.), and the vogue of specific poems, like that on the Am~ada victory. D. F. S. Thornson, “The Latin Epigram in Scotland: The Sixteenth Century,” Phoenix, I I (1957),63-78, follows the epigram from James Foullis to the autobiographical Buchanan to the new variety of the 1580s. zyxwvut zyxwv zyxwvu D.

Neglect extends to the basic tools required to build any discipline. Schoeck, “Renaissance Guides” (I, above) has rightly lamented that “we lack a dictionary OfRenaissance Latin, a single bibliographical handbook. and one single journal for our work and reportage. Above all, we need more and better texts.” In one ofhis Y W M L S surveys, J. W. Binns observed that “individual poets and genres receive attention, but the general works which should synthesize these studies and inform them with meaning are lacking.” Some progress has come with Binns’ Intellectual Culture (I, above), a previously unavailable starting point for all research in the field, while IJsewijn (I, above) is valuable for seeing Britain in the whole Neo-Latin context. The Yale editions of Milton and More are outstanding publishing events in the field. The second chapter of Ford’s George Buchanan makes an excellent introduction to the subject of Neo-Latin poetry. McGregor’s excellent article on Buchanan shows how criticism usually reserved for vernacular writing can be fruitful in Neo-Latin drama. One hopes that Nelson’s Cambridge will help spur more research into university drama, a field only modestly advanced from its state when F. s. Boas published his book a century ago. 670 zyxwvut zyxw zyx zyxw English Literary Renaissance Although new texts have begun to appear from sources like Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies (MRTS) and the Spevack-Binns-Weckermann Renaissance Latin Drama series, the prospect still remains one of neglect. Uncertainties about the status of Latin in the English canon have made librarians slow to purchase (and thus publishers reluctant to print) materials, while job-minded graduate students may hesitate to specialize in the field. There is no journal for British Renaissance Latin literature (and “British” makes more sense than “English” in view of Scottish eminence in the field); no anthology of the poetry has appeared (ironically we have one for the less accomplished American poets of the seventeenth century); we lack editions of major texts like the Deliciae Poerarum Scororum and of major figures like Buchanan (although one is planned for him). Symptomatic are the omission of Southwell’s Latin verse from the recent authoritative edition and undeserved oblivion of such interesting figures as John Shepery and John Parkhurst. 111.

Baptistes, with translation and voluminous introduction and apparatus, appears in Steven Berkowitz, ed., A Critical Edition of George Buchanan’s Baptistes and of Its Anonymous Seventeenth-Century Translation “Tyrannical1 Government Anatomized” (1992). An edition of the Miscellaneorum Liber is included in Ford, George Buchanan (below), translated by Ford and W.S. Watt. The Latin text of D e Sphaera is without a modem edition, but translations are James R.

C. in Three Renaissance Scientific Poems, ed. Robert M. Schuler, SP, 75.5 (1978). McFarlane discusses the planned Scottish edition of Buchanan in Acta . . . Turonensis (1980). 77-83. A 574-page study of the life, work, and reputation is I. D. McFarlane, Buchanan (1981), which sees the many-sided author as essentially Erasmian in outlook. McFarlane examines textual history, political ideas in the plays and poems, and literary associations contemporary and later. More specifically literary in focus is Philip J. Ford, George Buchanan: Prince ofPoel5 (1982). which pays close attention to the poetry, including the influence of Horace and Catullus and the Scottish satirists, and relations with contemporary French poetry. John Durkan will soon publish a bibliography of editions to 1700. A group of Buchanan studies (pp. 4-1 12) opens the Acta , . . Sanctandreani (1986). First, and at some length, C. J. Classen surveys references to classical authors in the Scottish history, finding some misrepresentations; zyxw zyxwv zyxw zyxw zy zy Richard F.

Philip Ford accepts as authentic the satire on the Cardinal of Lorraine, which shows Buchanan’s style at its best. In “George Buchanan’s Psalm Paraphrases: Matters of Meter” Roger Green considers such questions as how Buchanan selected the meter for a psalm. Also on the poetry, Bernhard Kytzler examines the verses on Rome, and John R. C. Martyn edits and translates some hitherto unknown poems. while J. G. MacQueen writes on the editor Thomas Ruddiman. (W. S . Watt replies to Martyn in “New Poems by Buchanan, from Portugal,” BHR, 49 [ 19871. 605-06.) Concerning the Plays, Martyn’s “The Tragedies of Buchanan, Teive, and Ferreira” compares Jephthes favorably with other Renaissance victim-tragedies; P. G. Walsh analyzes this play as Euripidean and gives Aristotelian and Erasmian backgrounds. James E. Phillips, “George Buchanan and the Sidney Circle,” HLQ, 12 (1948-49), 23-55. shows a principal connection through Thomas Randolph, Buchanan’s pupil in Paris, and Daniel Rogers. The circle admired €khanan’s poetry and political thought. J. H. McGregor, “The Sense of Tragedy in George Buchanan’s Zephthes,” Hwd-ov, 3 1 (1982), 120-40, shows how a knowledge of Aristotle informs character and action; the problem of the vow is secondary. Peter Sharratt, “Euripides Latinus: Buchanan’s Use of His Sources.” Acta . . . Bononiensis ( 1 9 8 ~ ) 613-20, , shows how Hecuba and Zphigenia influenced Jephthes. In Fred J. Nichols, “Some Renaissance Latin Poetic Texts,” Helios, 14 (1987)~ 109-21, Jepbtbes is the third of three works discussed Nichols finds tension between the pagan form and Hebraic content. A FrenchJephthes is in Donald Stone, Four Renaissance Tragedies (1966), with an introduction on the NeoLatin background of French classical theater (the other plays are Beza’s Abraham, Jodelle’s Dido, and de la Taille’s Saul). J. R.C. Martyn, “Montaigne and George Buchanan,” HumLou, 26 (1977). 132-42. reminds us that little Montaigne studied under Buchanan; he may have acted in Buchanan’s plays. O n the poetry, PhilipJ. Ford, whose book is noted above, in “George Buchanan’s Court Poetry and the Pleiade,” FS, 34 (1980)’ 137-52, discusses Buchanan’s political attitudes and his acquaintance with, and influence on, the French poets, also a topic in Ford, “Leonora and Neaera: A Consideration of George Buchanan’s Erotic Poetry,” BHR, 40 (1978)’ 5 1324, which contends that the poems on Leonora, unlike the others, were written to a real woman (the daughter of a prostitute). I. D. McFarlane, “George Buchanan’s Franciscanus-The History of a Poem,” JES, 4 (19741, 126-39, discusses text, reception, and literary and personal sources for this long satire. J. R. C. Martyn, “George Buchanan’s Franciscanus,” Acfa . . Amstelodumensis (1979). 721-46, summarizing the anti-friar diatribe, praises its Juvenalian manner.

Turonensis (1980).947-57,closely reads several paraphrases to show how the poet attempted to translate not just the language but the experience behind the sacred poems. John Wall, “The Latin Elegiacs of George Buchanan,” in Bards and Makars, ed. Adam J. Aitken et al.

Wolfe (1953-82). is now completed. A volume devoted wholly to the Latin poetry is MS, 19 (1984). Most of the contributors write on specific poems, and almost every significant poem receives an essay; other subjects are Milton’s early cosmology, self-image, and ideology. Since this volume, the most frequent writer on Milton as Latinist and Latin Secretaryhas been Leo Miller: John Milton and the Oldenburg Safeguard (1985) resurrects the correspondence relakng to a treaty of neutrality, and shows that Milton’s individuality surfaces even in his Latinizing of state letters, e.g.. in his preference for classical over more common Neo-Latin usages. Miller’s many articles and notes include “In Defence of Milton’s Pro Populo Anglicano Dt$ensio,” RenSt, 4 (1990), 300-28, which produces a royalist correspondence leading up to the Salmasius-Milton exchange. In “The Milton/Cromwell Letter to Transylvania,” NGQ, 36 (1989), 435-42. Miller resurrects from the Hungarian archives the official text of a letter relating to the massacre in Piedmont. In other recent work, Mother M. Christopher Pecheux, “The Nativity Tradition in Elegia Sextu,” MS, 23 (1987), 3-19, relates this poem to the Nativity Ode through hymnody. John K. Hale contributes three items: “The Significance of Early Translations of Paradise Lost,” PQ, 63 (1984). 31-53, shows how Latin versions of part or all of the poem reveal understanding of Milton’s style. Hale, “The Punctuation of Milton’s Latin Verse: Some Prolegomena,” MQ, 23 (1989), 7-19. contends that early printed texts cannot serve as the sole basis for punctuation; in “Milton Playing with Ovid,” MS, zyxwvu zy zyxwvu zyxwv zyxw zyxwvu zyx Rirhard F.

Regina M. Schwartz explores how Milton relates his own authority to that of the Bible in “Citation, Authority, and De Dorrrina Cltristiano,” in David Lowenstein and James pp. 227Turner, ed.. Politirs, herics, and Hemenrurirs in Atilton’s Prose (rw). 40. Several relevant papers are in Mario A. D1 Cesare, ed., hfilron in Italy: Contexts, Imajes, Conrradicrions ( I wr ): Diana Treviiio Benet. “The Escape from Rome: Milton’s Second Defense and a Renaissance Genre.” sees Milton using a popular escape motif. Estelle tlaan, ‘Written Encomiums’: Milton’s Latin Poetry in Its Italian Context.” finds a wide range of Neo-Latin motifs. John K.
