Latin Literatures of Medieval and Early Modern Times in Europe and Beyond
The textual heritage of Medieval Latin is one of the greatest reservoirs of human culture. Repertories list more than 16,000 authors from about 20 modern countries. Until now, there has been no introduction to this world in its full geographical extension. Forty contributors fill this gap by adopting a new perspective, making available to specialists (but also to the interested public) new materials and insights. The project presents an overview of Medieval (and post-medieval) Latin Literatures as a global phenomenon including both Europe and extra-European regions. It serves as an introduction to medieval Latin's complex and multi-layered culture, whose attraction has been underestimated until now. Traditional overviews mostly flatten specificities, yet in many countries medieval Latin literature is still studied with reference to the local history. Thus the first section presents 20 regional surveys, including chapters on authors and works of Latin Literature in Eastern, Central and Northern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. Subsequent chapters highlight shared patterns of circulation, adaptation, and exchange, and underline the appeal of medieval intermediality, as evidenced in manuscripts, maps, scientific treatises and iconotexts, and its performativity in narrations, theatre, sermons and music. The last section deals with literary \"interfaces,\" that is motifs or characters that exemplify the double-sided or the long-term transformations of medieval Latin mythologemes in vernacular culture, both early modern and modern, such as the legends about King Arthur, Faust, and Hamlet.

PETER DRONKE
Newman et al feature Peter Dronke. In 1961 Dronke took up a lectureship in Medieval Latin at Cambridge, in 1979 a readership, and in 1989 a professorship, which he held until his retirement in 2001. His ties with the renowned university are attested in many ways. Of the two most important, one is the short-lived but inspirational bilingual series of Cambridge Medieval Classics, which he inaugurated with Nine Medieval Latin Plays (1994). The other is the Third International Medieval Latin Congress that he organized in Cambridge in Sep 1998, the proceedings of which were included in Publications of the Journal of Medieval Latin under the title Latin Culture in the Eleventh Century (2002). As the last century drew to a close, his scholarly reputation stood high worldwide, of which one indication was his election as a corresponding Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America in 1999.

Voices and Bodies: The Afterlife of the Unborn
This article discuses the fate of a special class of child, the unborn, in the afterlife, as well as the gradual criminalization of abortion in Antiquity. Particular attention is paid to a possible prohibition of abortion in Orphism that may underpin the
nekyiai
in P. Bon. 4. and Vergil
Aen
. 6. Then it turns to depictions of the aborted in the
Apocalypse of Peter
and its late antique off spring to show how the aborted fetus gradually acquires a visible body and an articulate voice. At the same time, the theology of sentiment works out its solutions to mitigate the problem of the innocent in hell. The fate of the almost bodiless fetus in the Resurrection became a bone of contention by the early 5th C. The satirical questions posed Christians about the resurrection of the unborn may first have been raised by Porphyry. His interest in the embryo and its ensoulment in the
Pros Gauron
are adduced as evidence. Attention is drawn to Augustine's doubts about the status and fate of the human embryo, and some reasons are suggested about why he hesitated to adopt an unambiguous “human from conception” position. In the 5th C., after the Pelagian controversy, attention began to shift from the unborn to the unbaptized, who dominate the
nekyiai
of the Middle Ages. The rise of the Mizuko kuyō cult in Japan shows astonishing parallels to what happened in Late Antiquity.
