About this book

Peirescs Europe: Learning and Virtue in the Seventeenth Century by Peter N. Miller. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300082524.

Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637) was during his lifetime one of Europes most famous men. This book is the first in English to portray this extraordinary man as well as his whole circle including Pope Urban VIII Galileo Peter-Paul Rubens and Hugo Grotius and many others. Looking through the lens of Peirescs life Peter N. Miller brings into focus the entire early seventeenth-century world of learning.
