This volume investigates the scope, content and organization of academic instruction in philosophy and the arts at European - primarily Central European - schools and universities during the 16th and 17th centuries. Parallels are drawn between the reorganization of philosophical knowledge and the concurrent restructuring of philosophy curricula - with the resulting changes in texts used and printed in connection with those curricula. This is detailed in an analysis of the ways in which three important authorities, Aristotle, Cicero and Petrus Ramus, were utilized. Other studies examine specific methods and styles of instruction and the manner in which the arts and sciences were classified. Finally the career of one professional philosophy teacher, Bartholomew Keckermann (d.1609), is the subject of a special study. These articles are based on research in the archives of Central Europe and all contain detailed bibliographies of primary sources (including locations and numbers), which should prove helpful for anyone wishing to pursue further research.
