Recenzii
These volumes are a tour de force of scholarly care and are preliminary to a full modern biography for which they whet the appetite ... Malcolm has maintained original spelling, erasures, alterations and punctuation and noted all signs of blots and blemishes.
Another reason for reading these volumes is to delight in Noel Malcolm's scholarship. He provides areful transcriptions and sound translations (Hobbes wrote Latin as fluently as English): we expect as much.
the publishing project of which it is a component makes this correspondence valuable
he is il miglior fabbro, to whom all of us who try to make sense of Hobbes's work should now defer. There is nothing in his new edition of Hobbes's correspondence ... which is solidly based on real scholarship ... Malcolm has equipped his edition with excellent notes to each letter, with first-rate translations of those not in English, and, above all, with 150 pages of brief lives of the contemporaries mentioned in the letters ... Putting the lives together in effect gives us a new biography of Hobbes himself ... one can feel nothing but gratitude for Malcolm's labours, and admiration at their outcome. Hobbes's philosophy will, for the first time, have a real editor; and also one day, we can now hope, a real author
superbly edited volumes ... The fluency and elegance of this translation is a fair sample of Noel Malcolm's skill. He has rounded off his Herculean labours with a biographical register that will be of value to all students of 17th-century culture and indispensable to anyone interested in Hobbes
superbly edited ... On the evidence of Noel Malcolm's editorship of these volumes his forthcoming biography should go as far as intelligence and sympathy and erudition can take us ... The fluency and elegance of this translation is a fair sample of Noel Malcolm's skill. He has rounded off his Herculean labours with a biographical register that will be of value to all sutdents of 17th-century culture and indispensable to anyone interested in Hobbes
Noel Malcolm rounds off these two beautifully produced volumes with succinct biographies of Hobbes's correspondents, written with the elegance, modesty and impeccable scholarship that characterise the edition as a whole ... impressive work of scholarship.
These two volumes constitute the first collection of Hobbes's known correspondence, and their pulbication is therefore an important literary and philosophical event ... The letters ... open a window onto many aspects of the 17th-century world; anyone interested in history, literature, politics, philosophy and the history of science will find them utterly absorbing. The editor of these handsome volumes is a man whom Hobbes and his correspondents would have recognised as someone of their own stamp: a fine scholar who nevertheless engages with the world outside the academy ... Noel Malcolm ... has done an outstanding job of translating ... A reading of the letters and this elegantly written apparatus amounts to an education in the history of 17th century thought ... Interest in Hobbes has been steadily reviving in recent years, and Malcolm's magnificent edition of his correspondence will help to spur that process.
what comes out on almost every page of Malcolm's editing is the intensity and intellectual ambition of his own engagement with Hobbes's thinking. ...Noel Malcolm's edition is a most impressive achievement.
will be an enduring monument to one of England's greatest philosophers.
In these two thick volumes, we witness yet another aspect of Malcolm's prodigious gifts. ... We are presented with a comprehensive and meticulous example of scholarship. ...To Malcolm's scholarship we already owe this sense of Hobbes: when the magisterial biography appears - we shall no doubt be much more indebted yet.
In the course of his work on the correspondence, Noel Malcolm has developed an extraordinary familiarity with Hobbes's handwriting and that of his friends and associates...Another reason for reading these volumes is to delight in Noel Malcolm's scholarship. He provides careful transcriptions and sound translations...Malcolm is the most discreet of editors, never intruding his own views.
students of Hobbes' work ... have often deplored the absence of a complete collection of his correspondence. In supplying this long-felt need with the outstanding success of which this edition gives proof, Noel Malcolm has made one of the most important and valuable contributions to Hobbes scholarship this century. / The editorial matter Malcolm has provided makes this work a pleasure to use. / Malcolm has taken great pains to present the letters in accurate transcriptions, and the editorial notes, placed at the end of each letter, incorporate a large amount of necessary and useful information./ An especially valuable feature of this edition is the biographical register of Hobbes' correspondents, occupying close to 150 pages, which provides concise and very helpful accounts of both the well-known and little-known persons with whom he exchanged letters.
This is the first complete collection of the correspondence of Hobbes and as such fills an important gap in the published writing of the man who is probably the most important political philosopher of the modern age. Noel Malcolm has done an admirable job of assembling and annotating the correspondence ... Scholars will find the correspondence an important tool for understanding the life and works of Thomas Hobbes.
