商品簡介
Before focusing on Charles Areskine and Thomas Aikenhead as case studies, Baston explains why and how Scottish lawyers and their libraries played leading roles in the intellectual phenomenon of the Enlightenment, with a particular focus on Enlightened Edinburgh as a hotbed of genius in the 18th century. Among her topics are an enlightened advocate's library, Scottish legal scholars abroad, advocates' book in early 18th-century Scotland, miscellaneous books: Areskine's polite learning, and the fates of books: the Alva Collections.
