This volume attempts to bring together to our knowledge for the first time aspects of the whole of the long history of Latin as written in Great Britain. The papers explore the use of Latin in different contexts at different periods from the early Middle Ages until the twentieth century. They range over the subjects of philology philosophy scholarship humanism and teaching methods with separate chapters for Scotland and Wales. This book arose from a conference sponsored by the Fondazione Cassamarca which also contributed generously to its publication.ContentsMichael Lapidge How English is PreConquest Latin.Peter Dronke Arbor eterna A NinthCentury Welsh Latin Sequence.Maria Amalia DAronco How English is AngloSaxon Medicine The Latin Sources for Anglo Saxon Medical Texts.David Luscombe Roger Bacon and Language.John Marenbon Robert Holcot and the Pagan Philosophers.David Rundle Humanist Eloquence among the Barbarians in FifteenthCentury England.Richard Sharpe The English Bibliographical Tradition from Kirkestede to Tanner.Ceri Davies Two Welsh Renaissance Latinists Sir John Prise of Brecon and Dr John Davies of Mallwyd.Philip Ford Scottish Nationalism in the Poetry of George Buchanan.Stella P.
