Title: Die Berliner Hugenotten und der Fall Barbeyrac. Orthodoxe und Sozinianer im Refuge (1685 - 1720).
Description: Leiden & Boston, Brill, 2011. XIV,470 pp. 12 b./w. ills. Orig. hardcover (boards). 8vo. (Brill's studies in intellectual history, Vol. 204). [ISBN: 978-90-04-20947-3]. - As new.This study offers a thorough, archive-based account of the Berlin Huguenot Refuge during the late seventeenth century, and of the intellectual milieu of the young Jean Barbeyrac, the great eighteenth-century translator and disseminator of natural law. It not only examines Barbeyrac's relation to Socinianism and other theological debates, including those over Bible translations such as those of Leclerc and Lenfant, but also complements its master narrative with a portrayal of the alleged 'losers' in these debates, restoring the dignity of the 'orthodox' Gaultiers and Fetizons among others. It thereby corrects over-simplified, whiggish views of one of modern natural law theory's heroes, and of so-called modernity itself. By utilizing much new material from the archives and expanding access to the interlaced realities of Huguenot learning, cultural patronage, political cabals, theological disputes, and scholarly networks, the book will change the way in which we view the early Huguenot enlightenment and its wider European counterpart. - Publisher's retail price: € 182,03
