The Students and Their Books : Early Modern Practices of Teaching and Learning

Abstract

In the practices of teaching and learning in the academy of the early modern age, epochal factors intervene, such as the rupture of the religious-ideological unity of the West, the spread of the printing press, the rise of new scientific ideas, and the profound reform of university curricula. The studies in this volume privilege the perspective of the then-student as an agent in the processing and transfer of higher knowledge.
