- Ancient Wisdom in the Age of the New Science explores the reception of ancient philosophy (not just Graeco-Roman but also ‘oriental’, broadly conceived), in seventeenth-century Europe. The monograph draws on several hundred sources (printed and manuscript) written in English, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German, and Italian. It develops a significant revisionist argument about the nature of intellectual change in early modern Europe. Finally, it is c. 300,000 words long, equivalent to thirty academic articles of average length. It is, in short, a piece of historical research of extended scale and scope.
