The Nineteenth International Congress of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies took place at Aix-Marseille University from 14 to 19 July 2025 in Aix-en-Provence.

The LAGOOS team was represented in Aix in a special session entitled “Carolus B. Hasius”.

During his life-time Charles-Benoît Hase (1780–1864) was best known as a Professor of Greek in Paris, and for his extensive work on the revised edition of Stephanus’ Thesaurus graecae linguae (1838–1865). Today, Hase’s name is routinely connected to his forgeries of Byzantine Greek texts, and for the 2000 pages of Ancient Greek that he left for posterity in his private dairy. As a man of his time, however, Hase also wrote extensively in Latin both in his scholarly publications and in his personal writing. The project‘s panel explored the place of Latin in the Hellenist’s world.

Aside from our own contributions, IANLS 2025 offered an ideal opportunity to exchange with friends and colleagues working on the use of Latin, and especially Greek during the early modern and modern periods. A good time was had by all!
