Dear colleagues, Please see the call for papers below and contact the organizers if you are interested. Note the March 30 deadline for contacting them. Best, Nicola Toon Van Hal (KU Leuven) and John Considine (University of Alberta) hope to organize two sessions on post-medieval Latin writings on the comparative study of languages at the next congress of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies, which will take place at Uppsala from 2-8 August 2009. The papers given in these sessions would lend themselves to publication in book form, with supplementary contributions from colleagues who had not attended the conference. We would be very glad to hear from colleagues who would be interested in joining us at Uppsala, or in contributing to the published collection we have in mind. Uppsala is a very pleasant city (and of course the home of a great library, and of very interesting comparativistic work in the seventeenth century), and the IANLS conference is a most enjoyable one. However, participation in the conference at Uppsala depends on the communication of session proposals, with participants' names and abstracts, to the organizers by 31 March, so if you would like to join us there, we would need to hear from you before 30 March. If you would be interested in contributing to the published collection, then we would of course be very glad to hear from you as soon as possible, but the deadline is not so pressing. In either case, emails to <[log in to unmask]> will reach us both, and will be very welcome indeed.
