The Aristotelian Tradition in Early Modern Protestantism
Aristotle's moral and political thought formed the backbone of education in practical philosophy for centuries during the classical and medieval periods. It has often been presumed, however, that with the advent of the Protestant Reformation, this tradition was broken. Countering this widespread view, Manfred Svensson discusses dozens of commentaries on Aristotle's Ethics and Politics that emerged from Protestant universities and academies throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, showing that early modern Protestants never lost their connection to Aristotle. He offers a broad contextualization of these works and in-depth discussion of their key ethical and political concepts.
Towards a Reformed Enlightenment
In Towards a Reformed Enlightenment: Salomon van Til (1643–1713) and the Cartesio-Cocceian Debates in the Early Modern Dutch Republic, Matthias Mangold offers the first in-depth investigation into the theological and philosophical convictions of an influential, yet hitherto much neglected, Dutch theologian working around the turn of the eighteenth century. With its strong contextual approach, this analysis of Van Til’s thought sheds new light on various intellectual dynamics at the time, most notably the long-standing conflict between the Voetian and Cocceian factions within the Dutch Reformed Church and the reception of Cartesian philosophy in the face of emerging Radical Enlightenment ideas.

Die Deutsche Kanzlei in London
Between 1714 and 1837, the German Chancellery in London was the central administrative institution of the Electors of Brunswick-Lüneburg, and from 1814 Kings of Hanover during their time as British kings to organise their rule in absentia. Such personal unions were widespread in early modern Europe. This book is the first to focus paradigmatically on this most important institution of the personal union between Great Britain and the Electorate of Hanover. It examines the personal union as a space of communication and the functioning of a composite state under George I and George II from 1714 to 1760, focusing on the communication processes between the centres of government as well as their infrastructural, social and legal contexts. The so-called English Chancery in Hanover, which British politics and administration established in return during the kings' numerous extended journeys to their ancestral lands, is used as a level of comparison.

Krise der Ämter – Konnex der Akteure
Die Studie stellt die Musikpflege des 18. Jahrhunderts in Göttingen vor, einer mittleren Territorialstadt ohne Hof. Sie wertet umfassende Aktenkonvolute aus und berücksichtigt Elemente der Alltags- und Regionalgeschichte sowie Gedanken zur frühneuzeitlichen Streitkultur. Göttinger Musiker trugen durch ihre Verhaltensweisen zu einem Wandel der Ämter bei – divergierende Kommunikationsstrategien beeinflussten Vokationsprozesse, hierarchische Stellung und öffentliche Reputation. Durch die Universitätsgründung 1734 bedingte Ämterkumulationen und insbesondere die Einsetzung eines neuartigen Collegium musicum beschleunigten den Verfall tradierter Strukturen. Andererseits ermöglichte die...
