Educated in Scotland and France, George Buchanan became one of the most influential writers of 16th century Europe. Writing in the lingua franca of his time – Classical Latin – he was to be hailed internationally as ‘easily the prince of poets’. Here fifteen scholars, from many countries, analyse his writings, his creative use of ancient texts for contemporary purposes, and his impact on the culture of Scotland and of Europe – not least in the spheres of tragedy and music.
