The De bibliothecis proved to be a seminal achievement, both in redefining the scope of library history and in articulating a vision of a public, secular, research institution for the humanities. It was repeatedly reprinted and translated, plagiarized and epitomized. Through the end of the nineteenth century, scholars turned to it as the ultimate foundation for any discussion of library history. In Ancient Libraries and Renaissance Humanism , Hendrickson presents a critical edition of Lipsius’s work with introductory studies, a Latin text, English translation, and a substantial historical commentary.Brill's Studies in Intellectual History265/20.LibrariesHistoryTo 400HumanismEuropeHistory16th centuryRenaissanceEuropeIntellectual life16th centuryLibrariesHistoryHumanismHistoryRenaissance.027.009Hendrickson Thomas754592NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910810945203321Ancient libraries and Renaissance Humanism1518514UNINA
