Scholars continue to publish papers in Latin, well in to the twenty first centry! Here is a snippets of Dennis Toscano’s Masters thesis from the University of Kentucky (2016), contextualizing an anonymous poem, itself in Latin, from 1741:
Opus cui titulus est “Carthago Indiarum obsessa sed non expugnata” est carmen divulgatum sine nomine auctoris saeculo duodevicesimo ad celebrandam victoriam quam Hispani a Britannis Carthagenae Indiarum anno 1741 in bello auris illius Ienkins (vulgo, the War of Jenkins’ Ear) reportaverunt. In hac thesi tractantur modo satis compendiario res gestae huius proelii quo melius lectores carmen ipsum possint intellegere.
