Peiresc's Europe: learning and virtue in the seventeenth century. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2000, xv, 234pp., . Peiresc, Nicolas Claude Fabri de, 1580-1637 - "Drawing on the extensive Peiresc archive, Miller evokes the lives of the antiquaries, philosophers, theologians, and politicians of Peiresc's day, only some of whom remain known today. He explores the age in which Peiresc's toleration and sociability, his political action and cosmopolitanism, and his serious scholarship without dogmatism were identified as a set of virtues and practices by which to live. Peiresc's notion of scholarship as a moral exercise, the sweep of his interests, and the cross-Continental reach of his intellectual life show with new clarity what it meant to be a man of learning during the decades around 1600" - CONTENTS: Peiresc: free mind and friend -- Constancy, conversation, and friendship: the 'civil life of private men' -- The ancient constitution and the antiquarian: Peiresc in politics -- The theology of a scholar: antiquaries and accommodation -- History as philosophy: time and the antiquarian. 9780300082524 ISBN 0300082525. …

Hardback. Zustand: New. Conservators as first responders in a world where our cultural heritage is increasingly at riskConservation can be understood as a form of knowing; conservators extract meaning about the past from what remains, while noting what is missing and sometimes repairing it. In this erudite and virtuosic book, the historian Peter N. Miller imagines the outlines of a new, expansive notion of conservation that links the world around us-natural and man-made-to the world inside us-our genome, our memories. Putting the work of conservation into conversation with history, philosophy, and literature yields a shift in perspective. It raises questions central to the work of the humanities: What does time mean? How do we write about knowledge? How does care connect humans not just with the world but also with each other? And where does freedom exist in a world of things?Miller casts conservators as first responders in a world as fragile as the things they work on. He argues that a broader conception of conservation can provide the necessary intellectual resources for grappling with the scale of the enormous challenges ahead. Offering a kind of sketch of a curriculum for that future, Miller suggests that shaping the person of the conservator is as important as shaping the field. For only those trained to think about change through the painstaking labor of preserving and restoring will be able to do the work of policy and advocacy required by our uncertain future.…
