Mercenaries of Knowledge

Vicente Nogueira, the Republic of Letters, and the Making of Late Renaissance Politics

Beschreibung

From Lisbon to Rome via the islands of the Gulf of Guinee and the sugar mills of Northern Brazil, this book explores the strategies and practices (e. g. bibliopolitics) that displaced scholars cultivated to navigate the murky waters of Late Renaissance politics, through the life of the Portuguese jurist-scholar, Vicente Nogueira (1586-1654).
