AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charles Ancillon. Memoirs concerning the lives and works of several famous modern figures in the Republic of Letters. Amsterdam, Wetsteins, 1709. 12mo, portrait, XXX, 468 pp., (18) pages of tables, (1) leaf of errata, portrait and title page browned, ivory vellum of the period.
Ex-libris of Christoph Freiherr von Steiger (1694–1765), magistrate and Schultheiss of Bern.
Copper engraving, circa 1740 (Gerster 2178).
The copy appears to come from the library of Tschugg, which was frequented by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel during his stay in Switzerland in the 1790s.
Ancillon gathers the lives, works, and intellectual portraits of several scholars and writers of the modern era, notably figures of the Republic of Letters. In the wake of Bayle’s Dictionnaire historique et critique, he offers a complement to the biographical dictionaries of his time.
The book cannot be sent to the United States.
