Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc played an important role in the intellectual culture of his time. This work examines both the man and his circle, which included Pope Urban VIII and Galileo. It brings into focus the early 17th-century world of learning - its people, places and ideas.

Nicolas Fabri de Peiresc was the most gifted French intellectual in the generation between Montaigne and Descartes. His insatiable curiosity poured forth in thousands of letters that traveled the Mediterranean, seeking knowledge. Mining his 70,000-page archive, Peter N. Miller recovers a lost Mediterranean world of the early seventeenth century.

A collection of essays that present Peiresc's study of discrete languages and literatures of the Near East and North Africa.

This first volume in this groundbreaking new series is a comparative study of practices of historical research in early modern Europe and China.
