Although closely related to the revival of Greek studies in fifteenth-century Italy, European Hellenism acquired distinctive peculiarities due to the influence of the Reformation, the advent and spread of printing, and initiatives taken by individuals or institutions. By analyzing this important aspect of the reception of the Classics, this volume contributes to a better understanding of early modern European culture.       Contributors: Ovanes Akopyan, Johanna Akujärvi, Gianmario Cattaneo, Federica Ciccolella, Natasha Constantinidou, Iulian Mihai Damian, Christian Gastgeber, Tua Korhonen, Han Lamers, Marianne Pade, Inmaculada Pérez Martín, Luigi-Alberto Sanchi, and Raf Van Rooy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  List of Figures  Graecia transvolavit Alpes  Editor’s Note  Contributors    1 Learning Greek in Sixteenth-Century Spain: Of Books and Men   Inmaculada Pérez Martín    2 How Guillaume Budé Created His Commentarii Linguae Graecae:  Budé’s Greek Studies, 1494 to ca. 1540   Luigi-Alberto Sanchi    3 The Study of Greek in Guillaume Budé’s Collection of Greek Letters   Gianmario Cattaneo    4 Towards a Typology of Greek Books Printed in Sixteenth-Century Paris: Placing Teaching into the Printing Landscape   Natasha Constantinidou    5 Athenae Belgicae: Greek Studies in Renaissance Bruges   Han Lamers and Raf Van Rooy    6 Learning and Practicing (Classical) Greek at the University of Vienna (End of the Fifteenth through the Early Sixteenth Century)   Christian Gastgeber    7 Johannes Honterus and the Greek Renaissance in Transylvania   Iulian Mihai Damian    8 In Ecclesia Papistæa: Teaching Thucydides in Wittenberg   Marianne Pade    9 The Making and Remaking of Philipp Melanchthon’s Greek Grammar   Federica Ciccolella    10 How to Versify in Greek in Turku (Finland): Greek Composition  at the Universities of the Swedish Empire during the  Seventeenth Century   Tua Korhonen    11 Versificandi mania.
