| I Tatti Renaissance Library/Neo-Latin Literature (3212 words) |
 | A renewal of the ancestral language and literature of Italy was the key to the return of her ancient greatness. |
| The literature of Graeco-Roman antiquity has always found a home in humanist schools and universities; the study of medieval literature has the Catholic Church for its patron; and the modern vernacular literatures have all the resources of the nation-states behind them. |
| Ancient Latin literature could not truly be said to be alive once more until modern writers were able to capture their own experience in that incomparable vehicle of thought and feeling that is the Latin language. |
