A collection of longer and shorter texts (excerpts) from various regions and periods (10^th through 17^th cent), in various genres, and by a diversity of writers, including women, presented with vocabulary, short introductions including an author biography and a bibliography for further reading

The Neo-Latin anthology compiled by the Society for Neo-Latin Studies is for the use of teachers of Latin everywhere. The range of texts and authors will be particularly valuable to tutors, students and researchers working on Neo-Latin sources. The anthology includes texts of varying levels of difficulty, so that individual tutors can select texts for their own pedagogical purposes. The aim is to create as diverse and wide-ranging an anthology as possible: prose, epic, pastoral, lyric, satirical and panegyric texts are included, ranging from the fifteenth to the twentieth century.
