Book Description
Between 1500 and 1800, the rapid evolution of postal communication allowed ordinary men and women to scatter letters across Europe like never before. This exchange helped knit together what contemporaries called the ‘respublica litteraria’, a knowledge-based civil society, crucial to that era’s intellectual breakthroughs, formative of many modern values and institutions, and a potential cornerstone of a transnational level of European identity. Ironically, the exchange of letters which created this community also dispersed the documentation required to study it, posing enormous difficulties for historians of the subject ever since. To reassemble that scattered material and chart the history of that imagined community, we need a revolution in digital communications. Between 2014 and 2018, an EU networking grant assembled an interdisciplinary community of over 200 experts from 33 different countries and many different fields for four years of structured discussion. The aim was to envisage transnational digital infrastructure for facilitating the radically multilateral collaboration needed to reassemble this scattered documentation and to support a new generation of scholarly work and public dissemination. The framework emerging from those discussions – potentially applicable also to other forms of intellectual, cultural and economic exchange in other periods and regions – is documented in this book.

Book Description
. 1860 edition.: ...pro ipso aequipollens (ut volunt) pondus C ut 1 celeritate ut 2, quod ascendat usque ad C seu ad altitudinem 4 pedum. Itaque solo descensu ponderis A duarum librarum ex altitudine unius pedis 2AH, substitutoque aequipollente, effecimus ascensum librae unius ad pedes quatuor, quod est duplum prioris. Ergo tantundem virium lucrati sumus, seu motum mechanicum perpetuum effecimus, quod utique absurdum est. Nec refert, an per motuum leges actu efficere possimus hanc substitutionem; nam inter aequipollentia etiam mente tuto fieri substitutio potest. Quamquam etiam varias rationes excogitaverimus, quibus actu tam propo quam velis efficeretur, ut vis tota corporis A transferretur in corpus C, antea quiescens, sed quod nunc (ipso A ad quietem redacto) sit solum in motu positum. Unde fieret, ut pro pondere bilibri celeritatis ut 1 successura esset libra una celeritatis ut 2, si haec aequipollerent; unde absurdum oriri ostendimus. Neque ista sane inania sunt, aut in logomachiis consistunt, sed in machinis et motibus comparandis maxiinum usum habent. Nam si quis vim habeat ab aqua vel animalibns vel alia causa, per quam corpus grave centum librarum in motu constanti conservetur, quo intra minuti temporis quartam partem absolvere possit circulum horizontalem diametri triginta pedum; alius vero ejus loco eodem tempore duplum pondus nonnisi dimidium circulum constanter absoivere praestet, minore impensa, idque tibi velut in lucrum imputet; deceptum te ac dimidia virium parte frustratum scito. Sed nunc fugatis erroribus, veras et saue admirandas Naturae leges paulo distinctius in Schediasmatis hujus parte secunda proponemus. XVI, SPECIMEN DYNAMICUM PRO ADMIRANDIS NATURAE LEGIBUS CIRCA CORPORUM VIRES ET MUTUAS ACTIONES DETEGENDIS ET AD SUAS CAUSAS REVOCANDIS. Pars II. Natura corporis, imo substantiae in universum non satis cognita effecerat (quod jam attigimus) ut insignes quidem philosophi nostri temporis, cum corporis notionem in sola extensione...

Book Description
During the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic was transformed into a leading political power in Europe, with global trading interests. It nurtured some of the period's greatest luminaries, including Rembrandt, Vermeer, Descartes and Spinoza. Long celebrated for its religious tolerance, artistic innovation and economic modernity, the United Provinces of the Netherlands also became known for their involvement with slavery and military repression in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. This Companion provides a compelling overview of the best scholarship on this much debated era, written by a wide range of experts in the field. Unique in its balanced treatment of global, political, socio-economic, literary, artistic, religious, and intellectual history, its nineteen chapters offer an indispensable guide for anyone interested in the world of the Dutch Golden Age.
