HUMANISTICA LOVANIENSIA
JOURNAL OF NEO - LATIN STUDIES
VOL. 69.1-2 – FALL 2020
SEMINARIUM PHILOLOGIAE HUMANISTICAE
Humanistica Lovaniensia. Journal of Neo-Latin Studies (ISSN 2593-3019) is a KU Leuven based double-blind peer-reviewed international journal that appears twice a year at humanistica.be. It welcomes articles in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish on Neo-Latin language, literature and culture, as well as critical editions and translations of Neo-Latin texts.
Volumes 1 through 16 (1928-1961) were edited by Henry de Vocht as a series of monographs on the history of Humanism in Leuven. Starting with volume 17 (1968) Humanistica Lovaniensia appeared annually as a Journal of Neo-Latin Studies. After a half-century of annually printed editions, first under the pioneering editorship of Jozef IJsewijn (1968-1998), then under his successors Gilbert Tournoy (1999-2008) and Dirk Sacré (2009-2017), became an online-only open access publication under the editorship of Jeroen De Keyser (2017-2019).
This policy was continued by the current editors Dirk Sacré and Toon Van Houdt (2020-). Anyone can read, download, print and disseminate all articles in their original, unabridged form.
Authors publishing in Humanistica Lovaniensia retain the full copyright of their texts. Any use of articles published by Humanistica Lovaniensia should acknowledge their origin and respect all rules concerning copyright and intellec- tual property.
The Humanistica Lovaniensia volumes that were previously published in print (1968-2017) can still be purchased from Leuven University Press, who also publish the Supplementa book series. These volumes can also be consulted on JSTOR, with a moving wall of three years.

From the Editors
It is with mixed feelings that we present to you the latest issue of Hu- manistica Lovaniensia. On the one hand, we are relieved and happy to have succeeded in publishing, under difficult circumstances and with considerable delay, the present volume, which contains a varied array of articles dealing with several aspects of Neo-Latin language and literature, and humanist culture. On the other hand, we deeply regret that this issue could not be published by the former general editor of Humanistica Lovaniensia, Jeroen De Keyser.
As a tenure-track research professor of Latin at the KU Leuven, Jeroen devoted much of his precious time and energy to the journal, which he successfully turned into an online open-access publication in 2018. The unremitting zest and zeal with which he transformed the journal and managed it throughout the past couple of years earned him much praise – from his immediate colleagues and collaborators at the Latin section at Leuven University, as well as by members of the interna- tional Neo-Latin community at large. Sadly, Jeroen was refused tenure by the board of governors of our university in June 2019 and was further- more forced to resign as general editor of Humanistica Lovaniensia, as this journal was perceived to be too closely linked to the KU Leuven to be run by a general editor whose ties with the institution had been sev- ered. This was a radical decision which we deeply regretted and tried to reverse, but to no avail. After much hesitation and deliberation, we have complied with the explicit request of the dean of the Leuven Faculty of Arts to act as the new editors-in-chief in the near future. If it had de- pended on us, Jeroen would still have been the general editor of Humanis- tica Lovaniensia and would have prepared the publication of the present issue with his customary acumen and work ethic. Unfortunately, the powers that be have decided otherwise.
Our chief concern as new general editors is to guarantee the continuity of the journal. We are extremely grateful for the vast amount of work which Jeroen De Keyser has invested in the past few years in renewing Humanistica Lovaniensia, and we intend to preserve his legacy as faith- fully as possible. We would also like to thank all those collaborators whom he attracted and who have decided to step down out of loyalty towards Jeroen, for their much-appreciated aid. However, we are equally grateful to those scholars who, no doubt after a difficult process of weigh- ing various contradictory arguments and motives against each other, have
expressed their continued commitment to the journal and have confirmed their willingness to stay on, with us as general editors. Without their help and support, it would have been absolutely impossible for us to give Humanistica Lovaniensia the restart it badly needed after several months of turmoil and stagnancy.
