Berlin Refuge, 1680-1780 Learning and Science in European Context

This volume deals with the intellectual Huguenot Refuge (ca 16801780), discussing its philosophical, theological, historical, and literary aspects in European context. It uses Berlin as its regional point of departure: In the French-Protestant community of Berlin, the erudites rapidly established networks which pursued a very wide range of interest, communicating with every Protestant scholar who might contribute to the dissemination of Enlightened thought. The first part of the book, therefore, introduces the biggest and most complex centre of the Refuge in Germany. Whereas the second and third part examine different fields of knowledge, the fourth focusses on the topic of dissemination. All contributions present new materialbe it on 'Huguenot' hermeneutics, journalism, history, or on the relationship between Berlin and the United Provinces.Pott, Sandra is the author of 'Berlin Refuge, 1680-1780 Learning and Science in European Context' with ISBN 9789004125612 and ISBN 9004125612.
