Commentaries played an important role in the transmission of the
classical heritage. Early modern intellectuals rarely read
classical authors in a simple and "direct" form, but generally via
intermediary paratexts, especially all kinds of commentaries.
Commentaries presented the classical texts in certain ways that
determined and guided the readers' perception and usages of the
texts being commented upon. Early modern commentaries shaped not
only school and university education and professional scholarship,
but also intellectual and cultural life in the broadest sense,
including politics, religion, art, entertainment, health care,
geographical discoveries etc., and even various professional
activities and segments of life that were seemingly far removed
from scholarship and learning, such as warfare and engineering.
Contributors include: Susanna de Beer, Valery Berlincourt, Marijke
Crab, Jeanine De Landtsheer, Karl Enenkel, Gergo Gellerfi, Trine
Arlund Hass, Ekaterina Ilyushechkina, Ronny Kaiser, Marc Laureys,
Christoph Pieper, Katharina Suter-Meyer, and Floris Verhaart.
