Pascoli "sommo latinista" in un giudizio di J.J. Hartman

G. Pascoli as Latin poet in the judgment of the Dutch classical scholar J.J. Hartman: reasons and sources. J.J. Hartman’s judgment of Pascoli as «the greatest Latinist of our times» is to be understood according to the principles of the Dutch school of philological studies embodied by C.G. Cobet and his pupils. In its opposition to German Altertumswissenschaft, Cobet’s school continued to admire and cultivate the humanistic tradition of Latin composition, and the production of Latin poems.
