Sir Isaac Newton's pre-eminence in the history of science remains
?xed, yet the picture which we have of the whole man, and of the
in?uence of his wide-ranging intellect, has been changing rapidly
as scholars have incre- ingly taken cognizance of those aspects of
Newton's thought hitherto hidden in his unpublished manuscripts. At
the start of the third millennium, we ?nd ourselves poised to
launch the greatest revolution yet in Newton studies as an
international team of scholars has been assembled to publish all of
Newton's widely scattered unpublished papers. The William Andrews
Clark Memorial
LibraryhasbeenassociatedwiththeworldofNewtonianscholarshipforsome

& Actions of Athanasius & his followers") and through its
long association with Professor Richard H. Popkin (U. C. L. A. )
and Professor James E. Force (University of Kentucky). Through the

throughout the 1990s. The papers delivered at these conferences
evolved into a series of important edited volumes whose general
theme was the centrality of theological and religious ideas to
Newton's intellectual formation. In the present volume, this
longstanding project continues. Once again thanks to the th
