Professor Jozef IJsewijn’s most relevant essays collected in one volume
Jozef IJsewijn. Humanism in the Low Countries contains twenty-one essays written by the late Professor Jozef IJsewijn during the period 1966-1996. All essays were selected by his pupil Professor Gilbert Tournoy, who collaborated with him since the foundation of the Seminarium Philologiae Humanisticae in 1966 until his untimely death in 1998. They are now published in one volume in homage to the most brilliant scholar in the field of Neo-Latin Studies of the twentieth century.
A number of contributions focus on the life and/or work of a single humanist from the Netherlands, others have a more general nature and deal with the very beginning and the later blossoming of Neo-Latin literature in the Low Countries or with the relationship between humanism in the Low Countries and in other European countries.
Hidden in a less-known journal or a Festschrift for a colleague, these studies are nowadays not always easy to find. This volume brings the most relevant essays of IJsewijn together and aims to contribute to the research and study of humanism and Neo-Latin literature in the Low Countries.

Wat we hier lezen is dan ook pionierswerk: het begin van het in kaart brengen van een ongelooflijke rijkdom aan cultuur die ongelezen dreigde te blijven. Alleen iemand met een enorm geduld en werkkracht, een mengeling van bescheidenheid en overmoed, en bovenal een ontzaggelijke belezenheid vastgelegd in een geheugen als een olifant, kon het Neolatijn op de kaart zetten. Deze bundel getuigt van IJsewijns unieke combinatie van talenten, gekoppeld aan een toekomstvisie: een langetermijnprogramma van jarenlange tekstarcheologie zal leiden tot een fundamenteel andere visie op de vorming van de Europese culturele identiteit.

Anyone wishing to know more about humanism in the Low Countries will find in this volume a valuable collection of essays on the topic. We are now in a better position to assess IJsewijn's contribution to Neo-Latin studies. He was a keen researcher and an excellent Latinist who, by way of his history-driven research, considerably advanced knowledge of humanism, humanists, and Latin in the Low Countries - and on many other topics related to humanism and Neo-Latin in general.

Each essay appears as it was originally published, except for the correction of a handful of minor typographical errors. This was a good decision: the editor was tempted to add information and update bibliography, but this would have created a bibliographical mess, in that scholars would be forced ever after to indicate clearly which version of the 'same' essay they had used.
The republication of these essays constitutes a fitting homage to a giant in our field, a scholar whose work remains as relevant today as it was when the first of these pieces originally appeared exactly 50 years ago.
