Draft:List of Neo-Latin authors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Per your apparent consideration of my comments in the decline, you changed the name of the column from "Wikipedias" to "Wikis". Generally speaking, that kind of column is just unnecessary and should be removed or replaced with relevant and reliable external links. Pbritti (talk) 21:10, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Most of the people here are listed without citation, including many with no article of their own that could be used to verify. The description given in the lead is somewhat lacking in depth—it is self-evident someone studying Neo-Latin authors would engage with Neo-Latin authors—and sourcing necessary to justify the scope of the list. The "On other Wikipedias" is both non-standard (just link their name in the first column using ILL) and inaccurate (WikiSource isn't technically a Wikipedia).

This is a list of authors writing fiction, in prose or poetry, in a Neo-Latin idiom, highlighted by academics working in Neo-Latin studies as outstanding or important for their contribution to poetry, Latitinity, drama, or other prose. They are often the focus of current research in that field.

Neo-Latin was the first major international, standardised linguistic vehicle for printed works in Europe, and the dominant medium for academic and religious discourse during the sixteenth and start of the seventeenth century. As an international language, Neo-Latin authors often knew the works of contemporaries in other countries, as well as having common cultural references, through both Classical Roman and Greek texts, and later Christian works. While many Neo-Latin authors and works are less well known now, study of their works is important to understand the development of science, literature and vernacular literary cultures.

Neo-Latin literature and its notable authors are explored and identified in a number of standard reference works.[1]
