Classical epitaphs for heroes of faith: Mid-Tudor neo-Latin memorial volumes and their Protestant Humanist Context.
The emergence of a pattern of English Protestant Humanism should be recognized as characteristic of mid-Tudor intellectual culture. The pattern is strikingly illustrated in two volumes of memorial prose and verse in Latin and Greek, printed in 1551 on the deaths of Martin Bucer and of Henry and Char...

The pattern is strikingly illustrated in two volumes of memorial prose and verse in Latin and Greek, printed in 1551 on the deaths of Martin Bucer and of Henry and Charles Brandon. The volumes reflect classical and Neo-Latin influences. They commemorate the dead both as Protestant protagonists endowed with saving faith and as exemplars of Humanistic learning. They deprecate excessive grief as showing want of faith, but as even the saved may experience a degree of human sorrow at death, consolatory texts in the Humanistic tradition are included. The volumes thus embody the Protestant Humanists' sense of the continuing value of classical learning in the conduct of life under divine grace. An appendix to the article contains eight representative poems from the volumes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: International Journal of the Classical Tradition is a copyright of Springer, 1996.
