Every third year, the members of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies (IANLS) assemble for a week-long conference. Over the years, this event has evolved into the largest single conference in the field of Neo-Latin studies. The papers presented at these conferences offer, then, a general overview of the current status of Neo-Latin research; its current trends, popular topics, and methodologies. In 2018, the members of IANLS gathered for a conference in Albacete (Spain) on the theme of âHumanity and Nature: Arts and Sciences in Neo-Latin Literatureâ. This volume presents the conferenceâs papers which were submitted after the event and which have undergone a peer-review process. The papers deal with a broad range of fields, including literature, history, philology, and religious studies.
Florian Schaffenrath (Ph.D. 2005), University of Innsbruck, is director of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies. He has published on regional Neo-Latin literature and epic poetry in particular. Since 2018, he is general editor of the Acta Conventus Neo-Latini.
MarÃa Teresa SantamarÃa Hernández (Ph.D. 1998) is Full Professor of Latin Philology and director of the research centre Toledo School of Translators (University of Castilla-La Mancha). She is specialized in Latin medical texts and has edited early modern writings on medicine.
