"For My Worthy Freind Mr Franciscus Junius": An Edition of the Correspondence of Francis Junius F.F. (1591-1677): Brill's Studies in Intellectual History, cartea 121

Autor Sophie van Romburgh
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 dec 2003
This edition includes the complete correspondence of Francis Junius (1591–1677), who may be called the father of modern art theory and of comparative Germanic philology. The edition offers insight into this Dutch scholar’s life and studies in the context of his family, friends, and employment by the English Arundel family. All were intimately associated with the leading circles of scholars, aristocrats and dignitaries in the Low Countries and England. The corpus of 226 Latin, English and Dutch letters has been edited with generous annotations, English translations, an introduction, and a critical apparatus. The letters are an invaluable source of detail for students of seventeenth-century intellectual history, English and Dutch elite culture, Germanic philology, art history, and learned networks.

Recenzii

"With the present book, Sophie van Romburgh adds an essential contribution which, I hope, will lead to a comprehensive study of the life and work of this learned scholar, "who may be called the father of both modern art theory and comparative Germanic philology"...Junius seems to come close to the ideal Renaissance scholar: his wide-ranging interests include theology, philology - lexicology in particular - arts, and sciences. Furthermore, he was a real polyglot: besides being fluent in vernacular languages, such as Dutch, French, German, and English, he was also a "vir trilinguis" with expert knowledge of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew and was more than conversant in the Scandinavian and Germanic languages, both dead and living. Hence, the edition of the 226 letters that could be retrieved, most of which are written in Latin, promised to be an arduous task, one of which Van Romburgh has acquited herself in an exemplary way in order "to make this correspondence accessible on all levels for further research."
Jeanine de Landtsheer, JEMH, 2005.

"...a book which a variety of students of seventeenth-century intellectual life in England and the Low Countries will keep returning to during the course of their scholarly lives; a book which will absorb the reader with its innumerable amount of facts, as detailed as only a scholarly life itself can be."
D.K.W. van Miert, De Zeventiende Eeuw, 2005.

"Despite his French father and Brabantine mother, Franciscus Junius always considered himself Dutch, but in fact he was one of the more international citizens of the Republic of Letters...His letters, a few in English, but most in Latin and Dutch, accompanied here by an English translation and excellent notes, become increasingly interesting as discussions about family matters give way to more scholarly debates concerning the many fields of learning to which he was drawn."
Alastair Hamilton, TLS, 2005.

"Junius's network of correspondents and their epistolary relations form such an institution, both social and material, that is the very medium of European intellectual life in the early modern period. It is worthy of study in itself, not as adjunt to the printed book but as the vital matrix in which the published products of humanist culture took shape."
Ernest B. Gilman, Seventeenth Century News, 2004.
