Beschreibungen/Notizen
From an Anglo-American perspective, this book contributes to recent reconstructions of ideas of early modern men of learning, as well as the growing number of studies on antiquarianism and the history of religion.2 The final stage of Christian humanism, the period of time covered by the book, begins in the late sixteenth century and ends in the 1730s, a point in time which Hämer presents, with some justification, as the end of an era. Ramism thus entailed the possibility that dubious areas like magic and astrology might be adopted without discernment and raised to the rank of "science" and could lead scholarship - according to Vossius - into an indifference beyond "true" Christian erudition. [...]polymathy appropriated both Platonic and apologetic aspects in order to avoid indifference.
