Download or read book A Short History of Classical Scholarship written by John Edwin Sandys. This book was released on 2017-11-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Classical Scholarship: From the Sixth Century B. C. To the Present Day Rome in 1527. This is followed by the subsequent History of Scholarship in Italy, and by a survey of the successive centuries of that history in France, the Netherlands, England, and Germany, with a brief notice of Greece and Russia, and Of Hungary and Scandinavia. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the nations are reviewed in the following order: Italy, France, the Netherlands, England, and Germany. This order is, however, abandoned in the eighteenth, in which the influence of Bentley on the Greek Scholarship of Holland makes it historically necessary to place England immediately before the Netherlands. It has also been abandoned in the nineteenth, in the case of Germany. Hence the history of the eighteenth century in Germany is immediately followed by that Of the nineteenth in the same country. Finally, the history of the nineteenth century in England is naturally succeeded by that of the United States Of America.
