The Pen and the School: The Function and Circulation of Manuscripts in the Teaching Practices of the Zamość Academy in the First Decades of the 17th Century
No full textFounded in 1594 by Jan Zamoyski, an eminent Polish politician and
patron of culture, the Zamość Academy was a civil school with the main purpose of training cadres of the state administration. To achieve this, an educational program was drawn up based on the study of ancient literary, philosophical, and legal culture, sensitive to the evolution of humanism in the late 16th century and placed under the ideal patronage of Cicero. The legacy of this activity is a number of manuscripts, most of which contain commentaries by Zamość professors on classical texts. Examination of these sources can open a window on their formation process, their circulation and function, as well as the teaching practices that presumably gave rise to them. In the second part of the essay, the hypotheses formulated are tested on the basis of a particular case, a commentary on the Organon produced in the first decade of the academy’s activity

Facca, Danilo & Lepri, Valentina (eds.), Polish culture in the Renaissance: Studies in the arts, humanism and political thought
No full textDie polnische Kultur der Renaissance auf 140 Seiten zu erfassen, erscheint als mutiges Unterfangen. Danilo Facca und Valentina Lepri, die in der Philosophiegeschichte beheimateten Herausgeber des Sammelbandes Polish culture in the Renaissance, sind sich dessen bewusst und betonen in der Einleitung denn auch zügig, keinen erschöpfenden Überblick über die Thematik zu beanspruchen (S. 11). Vielmehr gehen die sieben im Untertitel angekündigten „Studies in the arts, humanism and political thought“ auf Konferenzbeiträge zurück, die 2013 auf der Jahrestagung der „Renaissance Society of America“ gehalten wurden. Erstmals in der knapp 60jährigen Geschichte dieser Jahrestagung wurde die polnische Renaissance dabei in eigenen Panels behandelt. Mit der Veröffentlichung ihrer Beiträge verfolgen die Autoren nun das aufklärerisch anmutende Ziel, den in der Renaissance des westlichen Europa sachkundigen Lesern eine grundlegende Orientierung in der Geisteswelt Polens zwischen dem 15. und 17. Jahrhundert zu verschaffen und die klassische italozentrische Perspektive auf die Epoche der Renaissance auf diese Weise zu korrigieren (S. 12)

A different view of innovation and international knowledge exchange from classroom notes: the University of Edinburgh, 1604-1650
No full textMany 17th-century student lecture notes survive from one of Europe's emerging educational centres, the University of Edinburgh. Particularly interesting are the early to mid-17th-century notes, whose content is scholastic in form, with lecturers reading passages from an authority text. The notes, however, contain a remarkably detailed account of the contemporary collapse of Aristotelian cosmology. A contemporary manuscript of teaching notes for Edinburgh's lecturers also survives, containing lists of books and manuscripts to be consulted by the students. These teaching notes were produced by a group of itinerant scholars returning to Edinburgh from centres across Europe. This chapter discusses the student notes as products of the manuscript and the cosmopolitan scholarly communities, stretching from Padua to Paris. These fascinating handwritten notes reveal how students were constantly updated on the latest developments in 17th-century scientific culture
