Nicasius Ellebodius Casletanus, Epistulae. Ediderunt et commentariis instruxerunt Susanna Kovács, Aaron Orbán & Adam Szabó. Bibliotheca Scriptorum Medii Recentisque Ævorum. Series Nova 21. Budapest: Reciti Kiadó, 2024.

Nicasius Ellebodius Casletanus (1535–1577), a Flemish humanist and one of the most outstanding scholars of ancient Greek of his time, left a wealth of unpublished material due to his early death. His career was shaped by his studies in Padua, where he came into contact with eminent Italian humanists in the circle of Gian Vincenzo Pinelli. His only published work during his life was the editio princeps of Nemesius’s De natura hominis. He emended, translated into Latin, and commented on texts by Aristotle, Apollonius Dyscolus, Michael Synkellos, and Aristophanes, but all these remained unpublished when he died.

More than 200 pieces of his correspondence survive. His letters to Gian Vincenzo Pinelli are the most numerous, but he was also in contact with Paolo Manu­zio, Piero Vettori, Girolamo Mercuriale, János Zsámboky, Hugo Blotius, Joachim Camerarius Jr., Carolus Clusius and others. The letters cover a variety of issues and contain a wealth of information on manuscripts, works in preparation, and the acquisition and dispatch of books. This volume is a critical edition of letters in Italian and Latin, mostly unedited previously. Beyond the letters and their critical apparatus, the volume contains a detailed biography of Ellebodius and abundant notes that reveal the biographical, historical, and intellectual context of the issues raised in the letters.
