 n Europe, Oxford, UK

DESCRIPTION:This symposium aims to explore the imp
 act of the humanities in Early Modern Europe (in p
 articular philology, grammar, logic and history) a
 nd to understand the mutual interaction between th
 e humanities and the natural sciences. Such a comp
 arative approach has rarely been investigated.    
 Questions that will be addressed are: What were th
 e major discoveries and inventions in the humaniti
 es? What was the role of the humanities in the dev
 elopment of the natural sciences and the scientifi
 c revolution? Was there a (historical) revolution 
 in the humanities? The papers of this panel show h
 ow closely intertwined the practices of the humani
 ties and natural sciences were, and how the same s
 cholar could combine both practices in the same pi
 ece of work. The papers highlight through a rich s
 et of examples one of the most intriguing features
  of the early modern sciences: the interlocking of
  philological learning and observational skills --
  the connection between erudition and empiricism. 
    Organizers: Rens Bod and Jaap Maat. For more in
