NEO-LATIN IN BAROQUE EUROPE

This is European collaborative project focusing on European peripheral areas in the post-Reformation period, with a view to creating an interdisciplinary research network comprising historians, linguists and literary critics, who would bring their respective expertise together in order to provide new source material for the reconstruction and correct evaluation of intellectual life in the Counter-Reformation period, as well as contributing to the study of the development of Latin literary language in early modern Europe.
