In a vivid re-creation of late sixteenth-century Flemish
intellectual life, Mark Morford explores the intertwined careers of
one of the period's most influential thinkers and one of its most
original artists: Justus Lipsius and Peter Paul Rubens. He
investigates the scholarship of Lipsius (1547-1606), whose revival
of Roman Stoicism guided his contemporaries during the revolt of
the Netherlands from the rule of Spain and whose teaching prepared
future leaders in church and state. Maintaining that Lipsius'
thought reached Peter Paul Rubens through his brother, Philip
Rubens, Morford analyzes the artist's use of Stoic philosophical
and political allegory, beginning with his painting The Four
Philosophers. This book discusses the revival of Stoicism in
northern Europe, focusing on Lipsius' editions of Tacitus and
Seneca, his widely read handbooks on constancy and politics, and
his interaction with leading scholars and public figures. As his
letters reveal, Lipsius was inconsistent in his life and
unsuccessful in reconciling Stoicism with Catholic doctrine;
Rubens, although at first sympathetic to the doctrines of Lipsius,
is shown to have later transcended their limitations. Originally
published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
