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. 410 0$aStudies in medieval and Reformation traditions ;$vv. 161. 606 $aScottish students$zNetherlands$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aScottish students$zNetherlands$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEducation, Higher$zNetherlands$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEducation, Higher$zNetherlands$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aScotland$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aScotland$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aScottish students$xHistory 615 0$aScottish students$xHistory 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xHistory 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xHistory 676 $a378.411 676 $a378.4110903 700 $aMijers$b Esther$01628302 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823190303321 996 $a"News from the Republick of Letters"$93965353 997 $aUNINA
