Volume IV of the magisterial History of the University of Oxford covers the seventeenth century, a period when both institutionally and intellectually the University was expanding. Oxford and its University, moreover, had a major role to play in the tumultuous religious and political eventsof the century: the Civil War, the Commonwealth, the Restoration. In this volume, leading experts in several fields combine to present a comprehensive and authoritative analysis and overview of the rich pattern of intellectual, political, and cultural life in seventeenth-century Oxford.
In Justifying Christian Aramaism Eveline van Staalduine-Sulman explores how Christian scholars of the sixteenth and early seventeenth century justify their study of the Targums, the Jewish Aramaic translations of the Hebrew Bible. She focuses on the four polyglot Bibles – Complutum, Antwerp, Paris, and London –, and describes these books in the scholarly world of those days. It appears that quite a few scholars, Roman-Catholic, protestant, and Anglican, edited Targumic books and translated these into Latin. The book reveals a stimulating and conflicting period of the Targum reception history and is therefore relevant for Targum scholars and historians interested in the history of Judaism, Church history, the history of the book, and the history of Jewish-Christian relationships.

Mit diesem Handbuch liegt erstmals ein umfassendes Namen- und Begriffslexikon der frühneuzeitlichen Gelehrtenkultur vor. Es besteht aus einem Bio-Bibliographischen Repertorium (Bd. I) zu den wichtigsten Autoren zwischen dem 15. und 18. Jahrhundert (von Thomas Abbt bis Zwingli) und einem (noch in Vorbereitung befindlichen) Glossar (Bd. II), mit konzisen Artikeln zu Zentralbegriffen der Gelehrtenkultur der Frühen Neuzeit, z. B. ars conversandi, disputatio, theologia naturalis, Zwinglianismus usw. Unter Gelehrtenkultur wird der Lebens- und Gesellschaftsbereich verstanden, in denen der Gelehrte eine bedeutende Rolle spielt bzw. der für ihn von Bedeutung ist. Im Vordergrund der Dokumentation stehen sowohl Kategorien, Termini und Bezeichnungen der mentalen und theoretischen als auch der sozialen und materiellen Kultur. Die Sachbereiche umfassen sowohl Lehre und Wissenschaft (Schulen, Fakultäten der Universität, Kirche, Jurisprudenz, Medizin usw.) als auch die Alltagskultur (Hof und Stadt, Haus und Garten, Freunde und Familie, Reisen, Schreiben und Lesen usw.).
