    "description": "Interdisciplinary study of pagan culture from late antiquity to the emergent Renaissance\r\nIn this volume the persistence, resurgence, threat, fascination, and repression of various forms of pagan culture are studied in an interdisciplinary perspective from late antiquity to the emergent Renaissance. Contributions deal with the survival of pagan beliefs and practices, as well as with the Christianization of pagan rural populations or with the different strategies of oppression of pagan beliefs. The authors examine problems raised by the encounter with pagan cultures outside the Muslim world and show how philosophers contrived to \u2018save' the great philosophers and poets from ancient culture notwithstanding their paganism. The contributors also study the fascination of classic \u2018pagan' culture among friars during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and the imitation of pagan models of virtue and mythology in Renaissance poetry.\r\n   Contributors\r\nCarlos Steel (University of Leuven), John Marenbon (Trinity College, Cambridge), Ludo Milis (University of Ghent), Marc-Andr\u00e9 Wagner \u2020 (Paris, Minist\u00e8re de la Culture), Brigitte Meijns (University of Leuven), Rob Meens (University of Utrecht), Edina Bozoky (Universit\u00e9 de Poitiers), Henryk Anzulewicz (Albertus-Magnus Institut, Bonn), Robrecht Lievens (University of Leuven), Stefano Pittaluga (Universit\u00e0 di Genova), Anna Akasoy (Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum)\r\n\r\n",
