	Humanist Latin - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Humanist Latin is a name given to the distinctive Latin style developed by the humanist movement during the European Renaissance in the fifteenth century.
		Ad fontes was the general cry of the humanists, and as such their Latin style sought to purge Latin of the medieval Latin vocabulary and stylistic accretions that it had acquired in the centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire.
		Latin vocabulary continued to be used by the creators of New Latin, but extensive discourses on contemporary subjects in Latin gradually ceased to be written during this period.

	Wheaton College: Wheaton Quarterly: Translating Boethius
		Literary Latin is in fact a very complicated test case for any theory of translation, because so much of the meaning of a word or a sentence is bound up in the context of the whole of Latin literature.
		Latin is hard not because of its grammar (which, despite what my students say, is fairly simple; certainly so as compared to Greek), but because its tiny vocabulary forces each word to have so many meanings and nuances.
		Latin literary aesthetics insist on the careful deployment of repeated words, and authors expect that the reader remembers where a particular word (or its root) was last seen and connects the two passages.

	Latin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Latin is also still used (drawing heavily on Greek roots) to furnish the names used in the scientific classification of living things.
		Latin is a synthetic or inflectional language: affixes are attached to fixed stems to express gender, number, and case in adjectives, nouns, and pronouns, which is called declension; and person, number, tense, voice, mood, and aspect in verbs, which is called conjugation.
		Latin was once taught in most of the schools in Britain with academic leanings - perhaps 25% of the total [1].

	Upgrading Latin Pedagogy
		Latin has had a vast cross-cultural literary life that continues into our own century; it deserves the language of life rather than that of death.
		Latin was in addition a quite lively part of the consciousness of many others, including some of the most influential thinkers from Cardinal Newman to Friedrich Nietzsche.
		To know Latin well should not mean that one has only learned to read a select group of writers from a two-hundred year segment of history, but that one has attained the right kind of powers of understanding that open upon a very wide range of literature, including that traditional classical material.

	[No title]
		Traditionally, humanist influences are considered to have reached Finland as late as the 16th century and later: Peter Särkilahti studied at the Collegium trilingue at Louvain, and Michael Agricola, the Finnish reformer, attended the lectures of Luther and Melanchthon, no less, at Wittenberg.
		Italian universities are considered to have been touched by humanist influences by the middle of the 15th century, somewhat earlier than the period of most intense presence in Italy of clergymen from the diocese of Turku.
		One of the main characteristics of humanist historiography was a new periodisation of history.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Humanism
		Pius II (1458-64) was a Humanist himself and had won fame as poet, orator, interpreter of antiquity, jurist, and statesman; after his election, however, he did not fulfil all the expectations of his earlier associates, although he showed himself in various ways a patron of literature and art.
		About 1520 all the German universities had been modernized in the humanistic sense; attendance at the lectures on poetry and oratory was obligatory, Greek chairs were founded, and the scholastic commentaries on Aristotle were replaced by new translations.
		The majority of the Humanists set themselves in opposition to the new movement, though it cannot be denied that they, especially the younger generation under the leadership of Erasmus and Mutianus Rufus, had in many ways paved the way for it.

	Humanism (Rome Reborn: The Vatican Library & Renaissance Culture)
		Although humanists had thronged the papal court since the beginning of the century, Pius II was the first real humanist to sit in the chair of Peter.
		Humanist theologians insisted that the formal theology of the universities was far less valuable than a direct knowledge of the biblical text, and that the documents that supported the church's priveleges should be subjected to critical scrutiny, like any others.
		These humanists claimed that their philological style of Biblical exegesis was modelled on the practice of the ancient Christian Fathers, whose authority should be preferred to that of modern scholastic doctors.

	Letter to the Editor
		Humanists are global rather than exclusive; they invite doubt and discussion; they are not willing to accept and preserve the status quo while waiting for a hereafter; and they are fiercely independent.
		Since humanists are inclusive and open to different ideas, I think it is bound to be a diffuse entity of human catalysts, a loose network of people who make things happen through the single-issue groups that they support.
		A humanist organization's effectiveness should not be measured by how strong the organization is as a body separate from its members, or by how many buildings it owns and how many people it employs.

	Humanism
		The humanists saw such studies as Scholastic logic, arithmetic, theology (the study of divinity) and natural science as completely unrelated to this most important mission of one's life; of all the studies, the highest studies involved moral philosophy and its application in the real world.
		The purpose of the humanistic education was to prepare people to lead others and to participate in public life for the common good; this was a foundational aspect of Ciceronianism.
		The civic humanists agreed on the importance of eloquence, but they stressed political science and political action over everything else while the educational humanists centered their attention primarily on grammar, rhetoric, and logic.

	The Book
		Its humanist Latin, with its complex sentences and literary flourishes, is not easy for those brought up on the simple Latin of Caesar’s Gallic Wars — and their numbers have steadily diminished over the last decades.
		This Latin work was published in 1545, and was followed by a French translation the next year, but there is strong evidence that it was prepared some time earlier, beginning around 1530, and that printing was interrupted by a lawsuit in 1539.
		Estienne himself was a humanist, from a famous French humanist family, and his interest in anatomy was largely directed at clarifying its nomenclature, as he was to do later for horticulture and for other aspects of the living world.

		The aim of this computerized Latin Dictionary is clear, to enable students to read faster and more efficiently, with the hope that a forward looking teacher will use this tool to move students into a true "Reading Knowledge of Latin".
		Latin texts were written for educated, adult audiences, they are often not easy to understand for this reason, as well as for the changes in the culture and the times.
		And Latin can be interesting both as a language qua language, and also as vehicle for a remarkable culture which lasted somewhat longer that the timespan between William the Conqueror and Bill Clinton.

	Poliziano Summary
		It was the method of professors at that period to read the Greek and Latin authors with their class, dictating philological and critical notes, emending corrupt passages in the received texts, offering elucidations of the matter, and pouring forth stores of acquired knowledge regarding the laws, manners, religious and philosophical opinions of the ancients.
		But what renders them always noteworthy to the student of modern humanistic literature is that they are in no sense imitative or conventional, but that they convey the genuine thoughts and emotions of a born poet in Latin diction to suit the characteristics of the singer's temperament.
		Poliziano was skilled as a scholar, as a professor, as a critic, and as a Latin poet at an age when the classics were still studied with the passion of assimilative curiosity, and not with the scientific industry of a later period.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.09.29
		First, Renaissance Latin did not appeal to nationalist conceptions of history current in the nineteenth century, when genuine cultural expression was supposed to take place in a native language.
		Even Burckhardt, who in many ways went against the grain of the historical thought of his time, believed that for the humanists Latin was a vehicle for achieving modernity, rather than worth studying for its own sake; their "contribution to culture had to be primarily on the ideological, not the literary, plane" (13).
		Not surprisingly, he suggests that electronic publication should also become a venue for humanist texts (although any classicists at this moment who want further proof of the vigor of their discipline should try comparing their electronic resources with anything that they can find on fifteenth-century Latin humanist works).

	Antiqua Medicina :: Vesalius the Humanist
		But Vesalius renounced the Latin that was spoken and written by scholars of his time.
		He purified the common stock of words; he abandoned the simple colloquial prose style, the logical sequence of thought characteristic of the scientific literature of that period.
		Humanists viewed the development of art and literature during the Renaissance as a rebirth of the truth and perfection once possessed by the Greeks in antiquity.

		For humanists the Latin language was the basis of civilisation, of culture.
		A humanist like Petrarch is strongly aware of the difference between the Latin of his days and the Latin that he read in his manuscripts of Cicero and Virgil.
		Classical Latin was their standard too; its vocabulary, its morphology, its syntax, its styles served as examples of what was right, of how Latin ought to be.

	Introduction by Vivian Nutton
		Vesalius’ Latin is a tribute to his teachers, although its variations, its periodic structure, and its orotundity are not always to the taste of modern readers, accustomed to a more straightforward manner of expression.
		Relations between the University, the physicians, the surgeons, and the barber-surgeons in Paris were not always harmonious, especially as the physicians wished to impose their writ and their privileges on all other medical groups, but during Vesalius’ stay, there were none of the great battles that characterised the early years of the century.
		As a wealthy man, with pretensions and humanist interests, it is hardly surprising that he should make his way to N. Italy, where the best medical schools were to be found, or to Padua, where the new humanist Galenic medicine found notable exponents in such professors as Giambattista da Monte and Francisco Frigimelica.

	Humanist Art Review ~ index
		This aspect of Renaissance Ciceronianism, which can be traced to Cicero himself,[3] found early expression in the work of Salutati, who pointed to Cicero as a noble example of man who forsook the personal advantages of a contemplative and solitary life to dedicate himself to the service of the commonwealth.
		Although he was the first to translate many of them into Latin, the Vita Ciceronis had already been translated in 1401 by a certain Iacopo Angeli, a fellow-pupil of Salutati whom Bruni would beat out for a position in the papal curia.
		It is further evidence that Cicero was valued not merely for his eloquence, but also because he tended to be seen as exemplifying a certain ideal or model of human flourishing, the vir bonus dicendi peritus.

	The Romulus Project: An Electronic Library of Latin Literature With Virtual Commentary
		I published my Humanist's Latin Dictionary, Mac and PC versions a few years ago, as a concise reference to all words in Latin literary vocabulary, and you can get further information about the ideas which led to writing i t athttp://www.middlebury.edu/~harris/dictionary.html.
		Part of the reason for this may be the fact that teaching of the Latin language ante-dated the modern language methods by several centuries, which gave a false sense of 'rightness' to traditional people in a traditional discipline.
		We are here planning the first stage of an extensive Latin teaching project, but since the results will be usable in other disciplines, we want to be sure that other sectors of the academic world are informed of the new tools which we are generating.
