| Summary: | Dutch scholarship has played an important role in philology since the early days of Leiden University. This volume illuminates how philology and its focus on the critical examination of classical texts-a tradition that had previously exerted considerable influence across fields as diverse as theology, astronomy, law, and politics-began an accelerated process of specialization in the 1800s.
