The \u003ci\u003eDe bibliothecis\u003c\/i\u003e proved to be a seminal achievement, both in redefining the scope of library history and in articulating a vision of a public, secular, research institution for the humanities. It was repeatedly reprinted and translated, plagiarized and epitomized. Through the end of the nineteenth century, scholars turned to it as the ultimate foundation for any discussion of library history. In \u003ci\u003eAncient Libraries and Renaissance Humanism\u003c\/i\u003e, Hendrickson presents a critical edition of Lipsius's work with introductory studies, a Latin text, English translation, and a substantial historical commentary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Hendrickson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004338160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004338166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Thomas Hendrickson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50546221547775,"sku":"9789004338166","price":191.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ancient-libraries-and-renaissance-humanism-thomas-hendrickson-9789004338166","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
