Alexander von Humboldt's extensive correspondence with the French natural scientist Jean-Baptiste Boussingault has been preserved almost in its entirety. These two scholars corresponded with each other virtually over their entire lives, starting in1822 and ending just weeks before Humboldt's death in 1859. Boussingault spent ten years exploring Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, places where Humboldt had traveled a quarter century before.

Ce volume, le deuxième de la collection "L'Europe des philologues", réunit pour la première fois les différents volets de la correspondance entre Karl Bartsch (1832-1888) et Gaston Paris (1839-1903), jusqu'ici dispersés dans différentes revues et monographies, difficiles d'accès pour certaines, en les complétant de tous les passages inédits. L'échange entre les deux savants, tous deux éminents représentants de la philologie romane dans leurs pays, est particulièrement riche : s'il offre des éléments intéressants et en partie inconnus portant sur la vie privée des deux chercheurs, qui viennent heureusement compléter leurs portraits, il permet surtout de saisir le vif le mode de fonctionnement transnational, franco-allemand en l'occurrence, de la philologie romane, en temps normal comme en temps de crise (la guerre de 1870-71). Les lettres nous offrent sans doute l'un des meilleurs exemples de ce que pouvait être alors une amitié philologique, essentiellement épistolaire.

We naturally think of Petrarca first as a poet. But he was much more than that. The first of the great scholar-poets of the Renaissance, Petrarca was instrumental in establishing as a cultural goal the rediscovery and collection of manuscripts of the ancient Latin authors; thanks to Petrarca the humanist scholars who followed him became the main conduit for the transmission and revitalization of classical learning, a necessary condition of the wider European Renaissance. Even more significant was Petrarca's role in shaping the literary movement that became known as humanism, a movement that for centuries promoted the study and cultivation of Latin literature. A charismatic figure with a gift for friendship, his life - revealed above all in his letters - became a model for how to live a literary life, how to reconcile the study of pagan literature with sincere Christian belief, and how the study of ancient languages and literatures could serve both true religion and the public world of princes and republics, as well as promote moral excellence in mankind as a whole. He gave the humanities a set of ideals that they fed upon for centuries. He taught how the civic virtues and philosophical wisdom of the pagans could be combined with Christian teachings to produce a a richer civilization. He taught that the humanistic study of antiquity could transform lives and bring back virtue as a personal and public ideal. He more than anyone planted the great tree of Christian classicism which flourished in the West down to modern times.--
