Produktbeschreibung

"Textual Criticism and Philology: Humanists Recovering the Bible and the Fathers" by Benjamin Shaw offers a compelling exploration of the Renaissance humanists' transformative quest to restore biblical and patristic texts to their original authenticity. Tracing the pioneering efforts of scholars like Lorenzo Valla and Desiderius Erasmus, this book reveals how their revival of classical languages and philological methods revolutionized textual scholarship, challenged medieval assumptions, and paved the way for modern biblical studies. Through meticulous manuscript hunting, critical editions, and the advent of the printing press, these humanists reshaped theological discourse and fueled the intellectual currents that led to the Reformation and beyond. This volume not only illuminates a pivotal chapter in religious and intellectual history but also highlights the enduring power of returning "to the sources" in the pursuit of truth and faith.
