Alsted and Leibniz on God, the Magistrate, and the Millenium

Texts edited with introduction and commentary by Maria Rosa Antognazza and Howard Hotson.

Der Band bietet eine Edition dreier kleiner theologischer Werke von Alsted in lateinischer Sprache mit Leibniz zugeschriebenen Marginalien und Unterstreichungen; versehen mit ausführlichen Einleitungen und Kommentaren in englischer Sprache. - From the Table of Contents: Section I: Definitiones, Distinctiones et Quaestiones Theologicae: 1. General Introduction. 2. Locus de Deo (Introduction, Texts and Commentary; Appendix: Additional Passages Underlined by Leibniz). 3. Locus de magistratu (Introduction, Texts and Commentary; Appendix: Additional Passages Underlined by Leibniz). Section II: Diatribe de mille annis apocalypticis (Introduction: Leibniz and Millenarianism; Texts and Commentary). - This volume contains small theological works by Alsted. Scattered passages have been annotated and many others underlined within these works; and there are substantial grounds for connecting this volume and its marginalia with Leibniz. Noteworthy also is the remarkable affinity between some of the underlined passages and Leibniz's own texts, which echo several of these passages almost word-for-word. This should demonstrate the pronounced influence Alsted exercised on Leibniz. 229 Seiten mit drei Abb., gebunden (Wolfenbütteler Arbeiten zur Barockforschung; Band 34/Harrassowitz Verlag 1999)
