The main objective of the group is the formation of a corpus of the Latin literature of the Spanish Renaissance. The group has received constant funding in 11 national and 3 regional projects. A large number of researchers from Spanish and foreign universities have also participated in these projects. The group maintains a high rate and number of publications indexed in the most prestigious databases; maintains its own text collection (quartile 2 in SPI 2018) and the scientific journal 'Calamus renascens' (indexed in ERIH PLUS); has directed more than 40 doctoral theses; and has obtained more than 30 "sexenios de investigación" and 6 "sexenios de transferencia".
STUDY, CRITICAL EDITION, TRANSLATION AND NOTES OF LATIN WORKS BY RENAISSANCE HUMANISTS WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE ANDALUSIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE.
The research group has created an internationally recognized methodology for critical editing and philological-historical study of humanistic Latin texts. The foundations of it can be read in the work of J. M. Maestre Maestre "La edición crítica de textos latinos humanísticos. I", in Humanism and survival of the classical world II. Homage to Luis Gil, Cádiz - Alcañiz, 1997, vol. II.3, pp. 1051-110. The group is also a pioneer in projecting this methodology to the digital paradigm through the new tools and resources of the Digital Humanities.
