Taking his cue from the unlikely bedfellows Joseph Scaliger and René Descartes, Vossius published on chronology, biblical criticism, optics, African geography and Chinese civilization, while collecting, annotating and selling one of the century?s most precious libraries. He was appointed an early Fellow of the Royal Society, and moved in the circles which later gave rise to the Académie Royale des Sciences. Together with Christiaan Huygens, he was considered the Dutch Republic?s foremost student of nature. In this volume, a range of authors analyse Vossius? participation in the full spectrum of the Republic of Letters, much of which has sadly been written out of the history of both scholarship and science.
