However, after the Byzantine refugees restored the knowledge of Ancient Greek in the west during the early humanistic period (15th century), Italian scholars (and later their French, German, Spanish colleagues) started to use Greek, a purely literary language that no one spoke, for their own texts and poems. This habit persisted with various ups and downs throughout the centuries, according to the development of Greek studies in each country. The aim of this anthology - the first one of this kind - is to give a selective overview of this kind of humanistic poetry in Ancient Greek, embracing all major regions of Europe and trying to concentrate on remarkable pieces of important poets. The ultimate goal of the book is to shed light on an important and so far mostly neglected aspect of the European heritage.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 230mmItem Length: 155mmItem Weight: 1379gContributor: Filippomaria Pontani (Edited by), Stefan Weise (Edited by)Author: Filippomaria PontaniGenre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: Trends in Classics – Pathways of ReceptionRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
