"Compiled by a team of experts in the field, this volume showcases an array of Latin texts produced in the context of British universities from c. 1500 to 1800. It includes a general introduction and bibliography to the Neo-Latin literature produced at universities during these centuries, as well as 12 high-quality Latin extracts with accompanying English translations and notes. Passages are taken from documents composed in Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, Edinburgh and St Andrews, and include a wide range of material assembled by early modern individuals or by teams of people that might involve scholars, students or both, from orations and commentaries to collections of occasional verse, correspondence, notebooks and university drama. This anthology as a whole conveys a sense of the extent of Latin's role in the academy and the span of activities in which it was deployed. Far from simply offering a snapshot of discrete projects, the contributions collectively offer insights into the broader culture of the academy over this extended period, engaging with the administrative operations of institutions, pedagogical processes and academic approaches, but also high-level disputes and the universities' relationship with the worlds of politics, new science and intellectual developments elsewhere in Europe. Introductions to each section and accompanying notes provide orientation for each of the texts that ensure the volume's accessibility to scholars and students at all levels of familiarity with Neo-Latin."--
