Abstract
This special issue of Romance Philology developed in response to the an-nouncement of celebrations in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 space ight, the rst manned landing on the Moon, which oc-curred on 20 July 1969. Many festivities and retrospectives were scheduled in anticipation of the event, yet it seemed unlikely that Philology would be among those invited to attend. If present-day concerns had failed to rec-ognize her rightful place at the table, if there was no longer any Martianus Capella to see to arrangements for the Liberal Arts, then Philology and her handmaidens, Astronomy among them, would just have to throw their own party.
