註釋
The Genevan Academy was the leading centre for the training of clergy in the reformed tradition throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. Its philosophy influenced religious and political figures all over Europe for generations.This is an account of the intellectual and social history of this key institution, its host city, its staff and its students. It deals with the struggle between the town, which sought to push the academy towards a broader approach to education, including law and medicine, and the Reformed Church, which wanted the academy to become a seminary for Protestant clergy. Isolated from the European mainstream the academy developed new scholars and new and influential scholarship.Karin Maag has traced the origins, studies and future careers of hundreds of students and teachers, linked these individual histories to the great movements of history during the period and combined all this work into a comprehensive, authoritative and gripping account of a central institution of reformed Europe.
