Brill, Leiden / Boston, 2014. 2 vols. XLIII,920,(XIX);XV,921-1245p. Hard bound. Nice copy. '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.
