Bohuslav of Lobkowicz and Hassenstein (1462 - 1510), Bohemian scholar and poet of noble birth, has left many works written in brilliant Latin. His collected poetical work appearing after his prose and epistles as the third and last part of the editorial row at the Bibliotheca Teubneriana was always considered as the best part of Hassenstein's literary heritage. Beside the satires commenting contemporary politic and social situation various examples of the traditional occasional poetry can be found in the collection. Also his short love poems as well as variations in the religious themes are without doubt of interest. Numerous personalities from the world of nobility and scholarship from Central Europe were counted to the addressees of Hassenstein's poems. Bohuslav von Lobkowicz auf Hassenstein (1462 - 1510), böhmischer Gelehrter und Dichter adeliger Herkunft, hinterließ zahlreiche in brillantem Latein geschriebene Werke. Als dritter und letzter Teil erscheint in der Bibliotheca Teubneriana nach seinen prosaischen Schriften (ed. Ryba/BT 1937) und Briefen (edd. Martínek/Martínková/ 1969 und 1980) seine Gedichtsammlung, die immer für den besten Teil des Hassensteinschen literarischen Nachlasses gehalten wurde. Außer den die damalige politische und gesellschaftliche Lage kommentierenden Satiren findet man in der Sammlung auch traditionelle Beispiele der Gelegenheitslyrik wie z.B. zahlreiche Epicedien. Bemerkenswert sind seine kurzen Liebesgedichte sowie auch Bearbeitungen von religiösen Themen. Zu den Adressaten von Hassensteins Gedichten zählten viele führende Persönlichkeiten und Gelehrte aus dem mitteleuropäischen Raum.

Tra le culture "circostanti" (bizantina, arabo-islamica e slava), la bizantina è stata quella con cui il Medioevo occidentale si è dovuto continuamente confrontare. Sotto il profilo geostorico, Bisanzio non fu una realtà monolitica, né limitata alla sola Costantinopoli, pur se questa ne fu il centro indiscusso. Non solo l'Occidente, soprattutto l'Italia meridionale greca, ma anche l'Egitto, il Medio Oriente e le regioni del Caucaso, giocarono un loro ruolo nella cultura bizantina. Né questa fu solo cultura d'élite, intrisa di erudizione, bensí fu anche rivolta a un pubblico istruito, ma non di alta cultura. L'Occidente si è dovuto confrontare con la cultura bizantina ma anche con la fascinazione di Bisanzio, con le sue figure piú eminenti, con la sua ortodossia, con la sua idea di stato, ma anche con il suo sfarzo, la sua luce, le sue tenebre, le sue ambiguità e i suoi intrighi: un confronto che ha investito in pieno anche l'età moderna e contemporanea, e che perdura oggi. L'opera è di grande interesse per gli studiosi del Medioevo e della storia culturale della Grecia e del vicino Oriente. E non va dimenticato il fondamentale apporto del mondo bizantino alla storia della cultura universale per l'attività di conservazione e tradizione di gran parte della letteratura antica.

Some thirty years ago Michael Herren burst on the medieval Latin scene with his edition and translation of the notoriously difficult Hisperica Famina, and followed this a few years later with his translation of the prose works of Aldhelm. Notice was given that a junior scholar, unafraid to tackle some of the most obscure, complex, and arcane Latin, wished to make it accessible to non-Latinists as well as to those Latinists who lacked his particular skills. Not content with labouring alone in that field, Herren gathered scholars in Toronto to a conference on “Insular Latin Studies,” the proceedings of which he published two years later. Over the years he shed considerable light on such obscure texts and authors as Virgilius Maro Grammaticus, John Scottus Eriugena, and the Cosmographia by the pseudonymous Aethicus Ister. His research trail led him again and again to Ireland, and the Irish contribution to early medieval Latinity and to English, Carolingian, and even Italian culture. Recognizing the rich diversity of medieval Latin, Herren in 1990 founded The Journal of Medieval Latin and has, as its editor, provided a home for medieval Latinists of all stripes.
