David Gorlaeus (1591-1612) : An Enigmatic Figure in the History of Philosophy and Science

Omtale

When David Gorlaeus (1591-1612) passed away at 21 years of age, he left behind two highly innovative manuscripts. The aim of this book is to shed light on Gorlaeus’ family circumstances, his education at Franeker and Leiden, and on the virulent Arminian crisis which provided the context within which his work was written.
