This translation of Eudemia began as my PhD thesis for the University of Florida Department of Classics. I thank the members of my dissertation committee for their guidance and support: Konstantinos Kapparis, Eleni Bozia, Jennifer A. Rea, and Mary A. Watt. It has been a deeply satisfying experience to combine my interests in Latin, Italian, Rome, and books.

Additionally, I would like to thank my professors at the University of Kentucky and UCLA for introducing me to the world of Neo-Latin: Michael J. B. Allen, Bernard Frischer, Carlo Ginzburg, Milena Minkova, Jane Phillips, Debora Shuger, Jennifer MorrishMorrish, Jennifer TunbergTunberg, Terence, and TerenceTerence Tunberg.

I am grateful to the Walter de Gruyter Foundation for Scholarship and Research and the European Studies Section of the Association of College & Research Libraries for awarding me the European Librarianship Study Grant that enabled me to conduct research at the Vatican Library in Rome. My gratitude also goes to the Librarians Association of the University of California for their generous grant to cover supplemental publishing costs. I especially want to express my heartfelt and humble thanks to two pillars of Neo-Latin scholarship who read my drafts with care and offered invaluable edits and comments: Jeroen De Keyser and Mark T. RileyRiley, Mark T.. Their generosity and kindness in lending their expertise, focus, and time to my translation was far more than I could have possibly expected. I would like to thank my parents: Alan H. Nelson, for instilling in me a love of Latin and books, and my late mother, Judith Anne Manes Nelson, for filling our home with music and languages. Finally, I express my gratitude to my husband, Oscar Luca D’Amore: Galeotto fu il Latino.
