When Greece Flew Across the Alps offers a reconstruction of the status of Greek studies in the vast territory lying between Spain and Russia and Austria and the Scandinavian Peninsula, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Although closely related to the revival of Greek studies in fifteenth-century Italy, European Hellenism acquired distinctive peculiarities due to the influence of the Reformation, the advent and spread of printing, and initiatives taken by individuals or institutions. By analyzing this important aspect of the reception of the Classics, this volume contributes to a better understanding of early modern European culture. Contributors: Ovanes Akopyan, Johanna Akujärvi, Gianmario Cattaneo, Federica Ciccolella, Natasha Constantinidou, Iulian Mihai Damian, Christian Gastgeber, Tua Korhonen, Han Lamers, Marianne Pade, Inmaculada Pérez Martín, Luigi-Alberto Sanchi, and Raf Van Rooy.

"This volume will serve as an important sourcebook for anyone looking at the status of Greek studies during the early modern period and within particular areas. It identifies and provides useful information on important humanists during the period, such as Guillaume Budé and Philipp Melanchthon, among others, and documents important Greek manuscripts and printed texts. The essays additionally offer insight into educational practices during the early modern period and how Greek studies were incorporated into humanist education. The volume also adds important insight into the spread of humanism through Europe and the ways that humanists shared knowledge. This collection is an important achievement that should be on the shelves of students and scholars of the European Renaissance." - Jacob Blevins, Sam Houston State University, in: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 76, No. 4 (Winter 2023), pp. 1474–1475
