Abstract

"Antiquarian, lawyer, and cat lover Nicolas Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637), was a 'prince' of the Republic of Letters and the most gifted French intellectual in the generation between Montaigne and Descartes. From Peiresc's study in Aix-en-Provence, his insatiable curiosity poured forth in thousands of letters that traveled the Mediterranean, seeking knowledge of matters mundane and exotic--travel times and insurance premiums, rare manuscripts and objects from the Orient. Mining the remarkable 70,000-page archive of this Provençal humanist and polymath, Peter N. Miller recovers a lost Mediterranean world of the early seventeenth century that was dominated by the sea: the ceaseless activity of merchants, customs officials, and ships' captains at the center of Europe's sprawling maritime networks. Peiresc's Mediterranean World reconstructs the web of connections that linked the bustling port city of Marseille to destinations throughout the Western Mediterranean, North Africa, the Levant, and beyond. As Miller also makes clear, Peiresc's mastery of practical details and his collaboration with local traders and fixers as well as scholars, sheds new light on the structure of knowledge-making in the age of Bacon, Galileo, and Rubens. Miller shows that Peiresc's pursuit of Oriental studies, for example, depended crucially on his abilities as a man of action. Exploring the historian's craft today against the backdrop of Peiresc's diverse research activities, Peiresc's Mediterranean World suggests new possibilities for scholarship on the past, but also for the relationship between the writing of history and its readers"--Provided by publisher

Abstract

This book describes the later life of Joseph Scaliger (1540-1609), the most original scholar of the late Renaissance. It concentrates on his efforts to date the main events of ancient and medieval history, a study that required him to use both astronomical data and philological methods. Volume I of this study was published in 1983, and received wide critical attention.

Abstract

Le siècle de l’humanisme, le XVIe siècle, est celui du développement des études hébraïques dans plusieurs pays d’Europe occidentale, en dehors même des communautés juives. Stimulés par les progrès faits en Allemagne, en Italie ou en Espagne (Johannes Reuchlin, Agazio Guidacerio, Agostino Giustiniani jouent un rôle fondamental à cet égard), plusieurs savants français se mettent à l’étude de l’hébreu ; leurs efforts sont concrétisés par la création des Lecteurs royaux (futur Collège de France), avec deux chaires d’hébreu et une chaire d’études orientales. Pendant tout le XVIe siècle sont rédigés des instruments de travail : grammaires, alphabets, dictionnaires et, avec ou sans traduction latine (notamment à Paris et à Lyon), des textes bibliques et rabbiniques. Le recours aux commentaires en hébreu (Rashi, Abraham Ibn ‘Ezra, David Qim?i) apparaît alors indispensable aux yeux de nombreux exégètes chrétiens. La littérature kabbalistique est l’objet d’un engouement de la part de certains savants, attirés par les spéculations arithmologiques ou par un certain ésotérisme ; mais certains y voient également un moyen d’approfondir le message de l’Ancien Testament et d’asseoir certains dogmes du christianisme. Le présent ouvrage présente cette riche matière, en étudiant les moyens et les méthodes d’enseignement et de diffusion de l’hébreu et en examinant le travail des hébraïsants. Il convient de souligner l’influence, directe ou non, de ces études (en particulier kabbalistiques) sur la littérature française du XVIe siècle.

Abstract

Critical editions of most classical authors are based on readings transmitted by medieval scholars that can be examined and collated. Modern editions of Petronius, on the other hand, are principally based on printed editions, most of them published in France during the sixteenth century. In this volume T. Wade Richardson considers the use made of the Petronius manuscripts then extant by seven French humanist editors for their various editions, commentaries, and notes.Some of the manuscripts they used may be equated with extant exemplars, which therefore serve as a good check on the quality of their readings. But as much as half of the text rests on the sixteenth-century witness alone. Through a broad and integrated study of the problems of the Petronius text the author attempts to unravel the tangled skein of humanist work on Petronius, to settle some of the old textual puzzles, and to solidify the text and recast the apparatus.Richardson also provides information on the codicology and palaeography of the texts and on the talents and habits of the scholars who created them.
