Solutions --$tConclusion --$tBibliography --$tIndex 330 $aThe Devil's Tabernacle is the first book to examine in depth the intellectual and cultural impact of the oracles of pagan antiquity on modern European thought. Anthony Ossa-Richardson shows how the study of the oracles influenced, and was influenced by, some of the most significant developments in early modernity, such as the Christian humanist recovery of ancient religion, confessional polemics, Deist and libertine challenges to religion, antiquarianism and early archaeology, Romantic historiography, and spiritualism. Ossa-Richardson examines the different views of the oracles since the Renaissance--that they were the work of the devil, or natural causes, or the fraud of priests, or finally an organic element of ancient Greek society. The range of discussion on the subject, as he demonstrates, is considerably more complex than has been realized before: hundreds of scholars, theologians, and critics commented on the oracles, drawing on a huge variety of intellectual contexts to frame their beliefs. In a central chapter, Ossa-Richardson interrogates the landmark dispute on the oracles between Bernard de Fontenelle and Jean-François Baltus, challenging Whiggish assumptions about the mechanics of debate on the cusp of the Enlightenment. With erudition and an eye for detail, he argues that, on both sides of the controversy, to speak of the ancient oracles in early modernity was to speak of one's own historical identity as a Christian. 606 $aOracles 607 $aEurope$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOracles. 676 $a203/.2 700 $aOssa-Richardson$b Anthony$f1981-$0480288 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463317503321 996 $aThe Devil's tabernacle$92454135 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04100nam 2200601 450 001 9910824296603321 005 20230808195218.0 010 $a90-04-32493-3 024 7 $a10.1163/9789004324930 035 $a(CKB)3710000000848768 035 $a(EBL)4683158 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16552277 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)15070689 035 $a(PQKB)25181500 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4683158 035 $a 2016036426 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004324930 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000848768 100 $a20160808d2016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aHow scientific instruments have changed hands /$fedited by A.D.

The evidence presented here is derived from sources as diverse as contemporary trade literature, through newspaper advertisements, to rarely-surviving inventories, and from the instruments themselves. The picture may not yet be complete, but it has been acknowledged that it is more complex than sketched out twenty-five or even fifty years ago. Here is a collection of case-studies from the United Kingdom, the Americas and Europe showing instruments moving from maker to market-place, and, to some extent, what happened next.
