Acta Conventus Neo-latini Vindobonensis: Proceedings of the Sixteenth International Congress of Neo-latin Studies; Vienna 2015

Since 1971, the International Congress for Neo-Latin Studies has been organised every three years in various cities of Europe and North America. In August 2015, Vienna in Austria was the venue of the sixteenth Neo-Latin conference, held by the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies. The proceedings of the Vienna conference have been collected in this volume under the motto ＂Contextus Neolatini - Neo-Latin in Local, Trans-Regional and Worldwide Contexts - Neulatein im lokalen, transregionalen und weltweiten Kontext＂. Sixty-five individual and five plenary papers spanning the period from the Renaissance to the present offer a variety of themes covering a range of genres such as history, literature, philology, art history, and religion. The contributions will be of relevance not only for scholarly readers, but also for an interested non-professional audience.

Astrid Steiner-Weber has been a research associate in various Greek and Neo-Latin projects. She is production editor of the Neulateinisches Jahrbuch as well as editor of several volumes of the series Noctes Neolatinae. She is also Chair of Publications of the IANLS.

Franz Römer has been on the academic staff of the University of Vienna since 1968 (professor of Classics 1978). He was Second Vice-President of the IANLS 2012-15. His special interests comprise Roman literature of the Early Empire, textual transmission and Neo-Latin.
