The Registers of the Protestant Church at Caen


Book Description

"The register of the Protestant Church at Caen contains 675 pages of baptisms and marriages for the period 1560 to 1572. It is thought these registers were hidden to avoid the confiscation in 1685. The registers were discovered in a farmhouse in 1859 almost two centuries later. Useful for researchers of Huguenot history and ancestry."--Publisher's description.







Aspects of Hobbes


Book Description

Noel Malcolm, one of the world's leading experts on Thomas Hobbes, presents a set of extended essays on a wide variety of aspects of the life and work of this giant of early modern thought. Malcolm offers a succinct introduction to Hobbes's life and thought, as a foundation for his discussion of such topics as his political philosophy, his theory of international relations, the development of his mechanistic world-view, and his subversive Biblical criticism. Several of the essays pay special attention to the European dimensions of Hobbes's life, his sources and his influence; the longest surveys the entire European reception of his work from the 1640s to the 1750s. All the essays are based on a deep knowledge of primary sources, and many present striking new discoveries about Hobbes's life, his manuscripts, and the printing history of his works. Aspects of Hobbes will be essential reading not only for Hobbes specialists, but also for all those interested in seventeenth-century intellectual history more generally, both British and European.
