Joseph Scaliger: Ii: Historical Chronology - A Study in the History of Classical Scholarship

Zusatztext highly technical book ... G.'s monumental book is rewarding and instructive ... G.'s even-handed apportionment of credit and discredit! both to Scaliger and to his critics! invites and will receive respectful attention ... rich stores of minutely documented information and the discriminating assessments to be found in this remarkable book. Zusammenfassung This volume describes the later life of Joseph Scaliger (1540-1609), perhaps the most original scholar of the later 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.
