About This Item
Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1957 8vo (20.5 cm), viii, 330 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly soiled). Guillaume Postel, with his travels, knowledge, and ideas, became an object of peculiar interest to his contemporaries, but he was quickly forgotten after his death. This book is an attempt to give an account of the life and activities of this important, many-sided scholar who absorbed many contemporary ideas into his own view of the world. Basing on a careful study of both Postel's work and other evidence concerning him, the author presents what is known of Postel's life, discusses the sources of his thought, analyzes and interprets his ideas, and suggests his place in the context of his time.
