About This Item
Harvard University Press, 1994 8vo (23 cm), X, 330 pp. Laminated wrappers (collector's blind stamp on the title). "Anthony Grafton is erudite and elegant in the style of the best historical writers who make the past come alive for the reader. In a full-scale presentation of the world of scholarship, from the Renaissance to the modern period, Grafton sets before us in three-dimensional detail such seminal figures as Poliziano, Scaliger, Kepler, and Wolf. He calls attention to continuities, moments of crisis, and changes in direction." (from the publisher's synopsis)
