apparently my book comes out in September, wow, preorder it for all your library and intellectual history needs, stay for the section on Paradise Lost and John Ray's herbals, or the story of George Psalmanazar, my favourite early modern scammer www.cambridge.org/gb/universit...

A very exciting new John Locke find by @davidrarmitage.bsky.social now published in the @historicaljnl.bsky.social!

Nice stuff from Armitage, and the salient thing here is just how heavily involved Locke was in the Board of Trade in the 1690s, and therefore in colonial policy and empire-making. Locke's 1690s publications also include his remarks on the poor laws. That is not a coincidence.

This looks fantastic! Very tempted indeed. >> Workshop: ‘Power Couples? Collaborations at Work and at Home, c. 1750-1914’ – CALL FOR PAPERS - due 1 Sept. #skystorians 🗃️ Thanks to @georgianlords.bsky.social for the heads-up! royalhistsoc.org/calendar/wor...

Sur Descartes, menteur et manipulateur - lecture de plage! 😉

The French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650) is generally presented as one of the founders of modern Western philosophy and science. Yet Descartes was not always the undisputed champion of reason that he is today. Why was he accused of being a purveyor of ignorance?

📣 New open access publication on early modern student notes, in which Leuven features quite prominently, as it has a long tradition of research in this source type (e.g. Magister Dixit, DaLeT). An extra surplus is that it has appeared in the year of KU Leuven's sexcentenary.
