This book sheds new light onto little studied higher institutions of learning in Central and Western Europe. Lands such as Finland and Portugal, or universities like Vienna and Trnava, have attracted less attention so far than they deserve. The book demonstrates that the history of better known institutions, like Padua or Paris, benefits from a much broader background in which to consider the impact of alumni networks or far-reaching echoes of reforms across the Atlantic. This collection of essays aims to foster a deeper understanding of some of the ways in which the intertwined relation of philology and experiments gave rise to institutionalised forms of knowledge. Essays deal with both academic practices as well as university reforms stemming from the increasingly widespread methodology of linking the study of texts to observations of natural phenomena. Both were means to amend and improve knowledge from the classics. The study of this phenomenon in its instutionalised setting requires a multidisciplinary approach that mirrors exactly those very knowledge practices it purports to come to grips with. As such, Early Modern Universities and the Sciences is a typical scholarly product of the ever growing contemporary Scientiae academic community, scientiae.co.uk.
