The celebrated classicist Richard Bentley (1662 1742) was elected
Master of Trinity College, Cambridge in 1700. He corresponded with
many respected thinkers and scholars, based in Paris, Naples,
Berlin, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Copenhagen, Hamburg and elsewhere
around the world. These two volumes of his correspondence, first
published in 1842 and now reissued, provide fascinating insights
into Bentley's thought and the intellectual world he inhabited.
Volume 1 contains letters, mostly in Latin, written and received
between 1689 and 1712. They appear in chronological order, and shed
light on relationships between scholars of different generations
and nationalities, and often opposing religious, moral, political,
and literary opinions. Exceptionally noteworthy in this volume is
Bentley's correspondence with Archbishop Wake and the Earl of
Oxford, as well as four letters from Sir Isaac Newton.
