Professor Toomer's book is not only an indispensable reference work
but also provides the first thorough treatment of the scholarship
of John Selden, acknowledged as the most learned man of
17th-century England. All of his numerous published works,
especially in the fields of history, law, and Hebraica, are
critically examined and described in detail. The narrative also
relates his writings to contemporary events, in the Civil War and
the parliaments (including the Long Parliament) in which he played
a prominent part, and to the work of other scholars in Europe
(notably Scaliger and Grotius) and in Britain (including Camden and
Ussher). Selden's involvement with the Universities, the support of
libraries, and the promotion of scholarship is discussed. The work
will be an essential resource, not only for the life of a major
figure of his time, but also for the intellectual history of
17th-century England in general.
