    Open AccessRiccardo Martinelli, Rens Bod et al.EDITORCHAPTERMaking of the Humanities, Volume…2014

    The ancient Greeks already used to give ethnic names to their different scales, and observations on differences in music of the various nations always raised the interest of musicians and philosophers. Yet, it was only in the late nineteenth century that “comparative musicology” became an institutional science. An important role in this process was played by Carl Stumpf, a former pupil of Brentano’s who pioneered these researches in Berlin. Stump…

    While it is clear that around 1800 the humanities as a discipline rose to prominence, it is less clear what the exact nature of this shift in academia was. Was it a sudden revolution caused by a momentary but powerful change in the zeitgeist or the turning point of a much longer process? In this volume, the editors have selected a series of essays that look at the origins of the humanities and find that long before 1800 the concept of the humanit…

  • The Making of the Humanities

    Open AccessRens Bod, Jaap Maat et al.BOOKThe Making of the Humanities2012Cited by: 1

    This much-awaited second volume investigates the changes in subject, method and institutional context of the humanistic disciplines around 1800, offering a wealth of insights for specialists and students alike. Point of departure is the pivotal question whether there was a paradigm shift in the humanities around 1800 or whether these changes were part of a much longer process. The authors provide an overarching perspective including philology, mu…

  • Dalgarno in Paris

    Open AccessJaap Maat, David CramARTICLEHistoire Épistémologie Langage1998

    The paper reports on a recent discovery that in Paris two manuscripts are conserved, which are concerned with two distinct but closely connected inventions by George Dalgarno : a universal character and an artificial language. The manuscripts were written in 1657 by a visitor to Oxford who probably came from Paris. The paper recapitulates the early history of Dalgarno' s scheme, paying special attention to a broadsheet he published in 1657. The P…
