'It is not the (primary) job of a companion to advance knowledge; rather, it should state the 'communis opinio' and give a sense of the point scholarship has reached.

'Brill’s Encyclopedia of the Neo-Latin World is an essential reference work for anyone interested in discovering how the Latin language continued to be an important medium for intellectual treatises, creative writing, and cultural transmission throughout Europe and beyond in the centuries since Petrarch. Sixty-six large survey articles offer fresh perspectives on a wide range of topics, including conversational Latin, women’s education, and Latin law. More than twice as many shorter entries focus on diverse subjects such as major writers, Latin literature written in various countries, centers of printing and publishing, and the pioneering work done by modern scholars in what was then the emerging field of Neo-Latin Studies. The encyclopedia continues the Neo-Latin tradition of international collaboration, scholarship, and publishing.' (ANNE-MARIE LEWIS, York University, Canada.
