Hardcover with dustjacket. Condizione: Gut. XV, 250 p.: Ill. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition…(IJCT). - Schutzumschlag mit minimalen Randläsuren, sonst ein gutes Exemplar / dust jacket with marginal tears, otherwise a good copy. - In this groundbreaking study, John G. Demaray argues that global cultural historicism first arose, not in the eighteenth century as is commonly held, but in the Renaissance, out of the biblical and pilgrimage iconography of the medieval Book of Gods Works. Demaray examines how pilgrimage world outlooks impacted the geographic historiography of Christopher Columbus, Peter Heylyn, Walter Ralegh, Richard Hakluyt, Francis Bacon, and Abraham Ortelius. He also explores the neglected empirical historicist method devised by Samuel Purchas and imitated in the writing of John Milton. Perspectives in the book are wide and range from fourth-century accounts in the time of Constantine to the conflicting views of, among others, Hegel, Marx, Arnold Toynbee, and Francis Fukuyama. / CONTENTS Illustrations Acknowledgements Preface Introduction 1 Walter Raleghs Historicist Inheritance God's Providential World and Marvelous El Dorado 2.
