| Description: |
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. |
| Synopsis: |
Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637) was, during his lifetime, one of Europe's most famous men. This book is the first in English to portray this extraordinary man as well as his whole circle, including Pope Urban VIII, Galileo, Peter-Paul Rubens, and Hugo Grotius, and many others. Looking through the lens of Peiresc's life, Peter N. Miller brings into focus the entire early seventeenth-century world of learning. |
