Charles Mackie and the Limits of Dutch Learning -- Conclusion -- Appendix: Scottish Students at Dutch Universities 1650–1750 -- Bibliography -- Index of Names.The late seventeenth century Netherlands have traditionally been viewed as the intellectual entrepot of Europe in general, and for Scotland in particular. Scottish students flocked in large numbers to the Dutch universities, bringing back ideas and books which influenced Scottish learning well into the eighteenth century. This book is the first full-length study of Scots in the United Provinces between 1650 and 1750. It analyses their numbers at the Dutch universities, the education they received and the impact this had on Scottish learning, on the eve of the Enlightenment, showing that the Scottish-Dutch relationship provided the infrastructure, which allowed Scotland to take part in a wider Republic of Letters and that its culture was increasingly characterised by it.Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions ;v. 161.Scottish studentsNetherlandsHistory17th centuryScottish studentsNetherlandsHistory18th centuryEducation, HigherNetherlandsHistory17th centuryEducation, HigherNetherlandsHistory18th centuryScotlandEmigration and immigrationHistory17th centuryScotlandEmigration and immigrationHistory18th centuryElectronic books.Scottish studentsHistoryScottish studentsHistoryEducation, HigherHistoryEducation, HigherHistory378.411378.4110903Mijers Esther894056MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465471203321"News from the Republick of Letters"1997120UNINA
