Christianity and the Transformation of the Book: Origen, Eusebius, and the Library of Caesarea
ISBN: 9780674030480 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 367 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. When early Christians began to study the Bible, and to write their own history and that of the Jews whom they claimed to supersede, they used scholarly methods invented by the librarians and literary critics of Hellenistic Alexandria. But Origen and Eusebius, two scholars of late Roman Caesarea, did far more. Both produced new kinds of books, in which parallel columns made possible critical comparisons previously unenvisioned, whether between biblical texts or between national histories. Eusebius went even farther, creating new research tools, new forms of history and polemic, and a new...

Worlds Made by Words: Scholarship and Community in the Modern West
ISBN: 9780674060258 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this book Anthony Grafton lets us in on one of the great secrets of scholars and intellectuals: although scholars lead solitary lives in order to win independence of mind, they also enjoy the conviviality of sharing a project sustained by common ideals, practices, and institutions.

Grafton reveals the microdynamics of the scholarly life through a series of essays on institutions and on scholars ranging from early modern polymaths to modern intellectual historians to American thinkers and writers. He takes as his starting point the...

New Worlds, Ancient Texts: The Power of Tradition and the Shock of Discovery (Revised)
ISBN: 9780674618763 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Describing an era of exploration during the Renaissance that went far beyond geographic bounds, this book shows how the evidence of the New World shook the foundations of the old, upsetting the authority of the ancient texts that had guided Europeans so far afield. What Grafton recounts is a war of ideas fought by mariners, scientists, publishers, and rulers over a period of 150 years. In colorful vignettes, published debates, and copious illustrations, we see these men and their contemporaries trying to make sense of their discoveries as they sometimes confirm, sometimes contest, and finally...

Magus: The Art of Magic from Faustus to Agrippa
ISBN: 9780674659735 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A revelatory new account of the magus—the learned magician—and his place in the intellectual, social, and cultural world of Renaissance Europe. In literary legend, Faustus is the quintessential occult personality of early modern Europe. The historical Faustus, however, was something quite different: a magus—a learned magician fully embedded in the scholarly currents and public life of the Renaissance. And he was hardly the only one. Anthony Grafton argues that the magus in sixteenth-century Europe was a distinctive intellectual type, both different from and indebted to medieval...

ISBN: 9780674307605 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The weapon of pedants, the scourge of undergraduates, the bEte noire of the "new" liberated scholar: the lowly footnote, long the refuge of the minor and the marginal, emerges in this book as a singular resource, with a surprising history that says volumes about the evolution of modern scholarship. In Anthony Grafton's engrossing account, footnotes to history give way to footnotes as history, recounting in their subtle way the curious story of the progress of knowledge in written form. Grafton treats the development of the footnote--the one form of proof normally supplied by historians...

Prolegomena to Homer, 1795
ISBN: 9780691637167 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The subjects Wolf addressed have dominated Homeric scholarship for almost two centuries. Especially important were his analyses of the history of writing and of the nature of Alexandrian scholarship and his consideration of the composition of the Homeric poems--which set the terms for the analyst/unitarian controversy. His exploration of the history of the transmission of the text in antiquity opened a new field of research and transformed conceptions of the relations of ancient and modern culture. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the... The subjects Wolf addressed have dominated Homeric scholarship for almost two centuries.

Conversion in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages: Seeing and Believing
ISBN: 9781580461252 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume explores religious conversion in late antique and early medieval Europe at a time when the utility of the concept is vigorously debated. Though conversion was commonly represented by ancient and early medieval writers as singular and personally momentous mental events, contributors to this volume find gradual and incomplete social processes lurking behind their words. A mixture of examples and approaches will both encourage a deepening of specialist knowledge and spark new thinking across a variety of sub-fields. The historical settings treated here stretch from the Roman...
