Humanists are generally mentioned by their Latin names (e.g., âAldus Manutiusâ for âAldo Manuzioâ; âJanus Pannoniusâ for âCsezmiczei Jánosâ; etc.), except for cases in which the actual name appears more frequently in the usus scribendi of modern scholarship (e.g., âGuillaume Budéâ instead of âGuillelmus Budaeusâ; âOthmar Nachtgallâ instead of âOthmarus Lusciniusâ; etc.). The same usus scribendi has been followed for Byzantine and modern Greek names (e.g., âMoschopoulosâ instead of âMoscopulus,â âGennadios Scholariosâ instead of âGennadius Scolarius,â but âMaximus Planudesâ instead of âMaximos Planoudis,â âMarcus Musurusâ instead of âMarkos Mousouros,â etc.).
In Latin and Greek quotations, orthography and punctuation have been generally adjusted to common scholarly and editorial usages, unless authors have deemed it appropriate to preserve the graphic peculiarities of the texts they were quoting. Similarly, the titles of ancient literary works have been given in English, Latin or Greek according to each authorâs preferences.
