They married into other learned families, collaborated with their cousins, trained their sons, and passed down their papers, publishing projects, and positions as royal historiographers and archivists through the generations, creating a niche in scholarship and a reputation for erudition that they collectively defended from interlopers. They were but one of the most successful and longest lasting of the phenomenon of early modern scholarly families that staked their livelihoods on their expertise. Only by including the “family” as an actor within intellectual history can we appreciate how the methodologies of humanism were transmitted into the Enlightenment and beyond. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is intended for early modern historians of intellectual history, legal history, gender and family, and France.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pallas Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56501196128600,"sku":"9789048561186","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9789048561186_9a7bc0a6-79a3-4d1e-921f-832468b4ab55.jpg?v=1772095545","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/godefroy-family-of-scholars-1580-1880","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
