It is also a way to document more extensively the intellectual life of what can be seen as the founding epoch of intellectual Mitteleuropa, a tradi- tion that would last until the fi rst part of the twentieth century, before being torn apart by the Nazi disaster and the Cold War. I. Born in Madrid in 1606, Juan Caramuel Lobkowitz was apparently himself of Central European descent. His curious name betrays his origins: Caramuel is a Spanish-sounding version of Cramer, since his father was of Luxemburgish origin;2 his mother bore a Flemish name, De Vries, but her own mother was Regina, the youngest daughter of 1 H. W. Sullivan, “Fray Juan Caramuel y Lobkowitz O.Cist.: The Prague Years, 1647–1659”, in: Corónente tus hazañas. Studies in Honor of John Jay Allen, ed. M. J. McGrath, Juan de la Cuesta Hispanic Studies, Newark (DE) 2005, pp. 339–374. 2 In his oldest autographs, Caramuel spells his name Charamuer or Caramuer, with a fi nal “r” (he does so while in Salamanca). His father Lorenzo, in the earli- est documents found by Jorge Fernández-Santos, was referred to as Cramer, obvi- ously also a Spanish version of Kramer.

His life and academic career are well known, thanks to ancient and more recent biographies. It may however be useful to summarize some of its major moments for the unfamiliar reader.4 He was educated in the best academic institutions of the Spanish peninsula, successively at the universities of Alcalà de Henares and Salamanca, and among his masters we fi nd some of the major scholastic philosophers and theologians of the time: in Alcalà, he was taught by Benito Sánchez de Herrera, John of Saint Thomas (João Poinsot, 1589–1644), Pedro de Lorca (1561–1621) and Juan Martínez de Prado (†1668). In Sala- manca, he studied under the Cistercians Luis Bernaldo de Quirós and Ángel Manrique (1577–1649) and the Dominican Francico de Araújo (1580–1664). He probably also attended the last classes of Agustín Antolínez (1554–1626; who taught until 1622), the major Augustin- ian theologian of the time, and probably visited the Jesuit college, since he often mentions the opinions of Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza (1578–1641), the master of an entire generation, and the mysterious Jesuit Jerónimo José de Lázarraga (1577–after 1622). In 1625 he en- tered the Royal Monastery of La Espina (near Valladolid) and be- came a novice in the Cistercian Order. After several years spent in monasteries of the order in Spain, he was despatched to the Spanish Low countries, and more specifi cally to the 3 Cf. the latest history of the Lobkowitz family to date, S.

He spent ten years in Louvain and its surroundings, taking part in numerous controversies fuelled by the presence of the Jansenist party (Jansenius, bishop of Ypres since 1636, died of the plague in 1638), the Jesuit theologians and the Irish Franciscans. In 1638, he obtained his doctorate in theology in Louvain, but failed to gain a chair. Through the intercession of the King of Spain, Philip IV, and of Fabio Chigi (1599–1667), the papal nuncio in Cologne, he fi nally accepted to become abbot of Disiboden- berg in the Lower Palatinate. His “journey to the empire” is presented for the fi rst time in this volume, by means of a fantastic document unearthed by Jorge Fernández-Santos: a 39-page long letter kept with the rest of Fabio Chigi’s (future pope Alexander VII’s) manuscripts at the Vatican Library. Caramuel left Louvain in February, and arrived at Bad Kreuznach by 20 April 1644, only to discover that the monas- tery of Disibodenberg had been burned down in the meantime. The following years spent in the Southern regions of the Empire were all marked by the Protestant-Catholic confessional confl ict and attempts of mediation, but it was also for him a period of relative isolation in what was by then an intellectual Niemandsland.

    Prague Medical Report / Vol. 113 (2012) No. 2, p. 119–135 119) Early Modern “Citation Index”? Medical Authorities in Academic Treatises on Plague (1480–1725) Černý K. Institute for History of Medicine and Foreign Languages, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic Received September 12, 2011; Accepted April 11, 2012. Key words: Citation index – Sociometrics – Plague – Early modern era – History of medicine Abstract: The paper deals with the problem of early modern scientific citations. It attempts to establish a measure of scientific popularity in a specific area of the academic medicine in a way which resembles a modern evaluation of scientific activity (citation index). For this purpose an analysis of a series of plague treatises written between 1480 and 1725 in Europe was conducted. Citations for various historical medical authorities (Hippocrates, Galen, etc.) are given in Tables which reflect a long time development of popularity. The authorities from various groups (Ancient, Medieval, Arabic, Early Modern) are linked together, and “generic authorities” are explained and discussed. Mailing Address: Mgr.

First, my greatest thanks go to my advisor, Diane Owen Hughes, who has guided, supported, and taught me throughout my graduate studies at Michigan. Her intellectual brilliance and breadth of knowledge has shaped this dissertation and my own thinking in so many ways. I could not have asked for a better mentor. I also want to give a special thanks to my dissertation committee. I learned much from long discussions with Michael Bonner, who shares my enthusiasm for the history of medieval and early modern geography and cartography. His advice on sources to consult and paths to follow has been instrumental in the completion of this project. I thank Hussein Fancy, for stimulating conversations and for always pushing me to think in new ways. I have further benefitted from my other committee members, Emilie Savage-Smith and Karla Mallette. Their careful reading and thoughtful critiques have been invaluable to me.

  • Humanism As Civic Project the Collège De Guyenne 1533-1583
    HUMANISM AS CIVIC PROJECT THE COLLÈGE DE GUYENNE 1533-1583 by Marjorie Irene Hopkins A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Marjorie Irene Hopkins, September, 2016 ABSTRACT HUMANISM AS CIVIC PROJECT: THE COLLÈGE DE GUYENNE 1533-1583 Marjorie Hopkins Advisor: University of Guelph, 2016 Professor Peter A. Goddard Que disciplina adhuc observata in suo Burdigalen Gymnasio notior evadat, nec facile usquam depravetur. Thus, in 1583, the Jurade, the city council, of Bordeaux concluded its endorsement of the publication of Elie Vinet's Schola Aquitanica, the school programme of the Collège de Guyenne. This thesis examines the humanist programme at the Collège de Guyenne in Bordeaux from 1533 to 1583. Most studies of the Collège have focused on its foundation and institutional structure. Since Ernest Gaullieur's institutional history in 1874, research into Renaissance, Reformation, and educational history have made significant advancements, all of which shed additional light onto the Collège's history and its role as a source of civic identity in a growing national context. Additionally, the application of Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus grants insight into the social climate of academics in the sixteenth century. This thesis contributes to our knowledge of the Collège's and the regents' place in the development of Bordelais and French identity, but it also elucidates the regents' impact on the students who attended there, particularly Michel de Montaigne, a well-known writer who was apparently self-disclosing, whose education at the Collège shaped him into a prudent thinker with the capacity to see all sides of an issue.
