Amsterdam University Press is delighted to announce the imminent publication of Meghan Doherty’s Engraving Accuracy in Early Modern England, which will feature as the second volume in the “Scientiae Studies” series. Doherty’s book is a significant contribution to the knowledge-producing strategies of the early Royal Society in London and it focuses, more specifically, on intaglio prints and the visual vocabulary of fellows such as Robert Hooke and John Evelyn, developing an original approach to the sensitive role played by engraved images.
Meanwhile, the book series’s first title, Making Truth in Early Modern Catholicism, edited by Andreea Badea, Bruno Boute, Marco Cavarzere, and Steven Vanden Broecke, is out for reviews one of which, by Marco Faini, will appear soon in the journal Renaissance and Reformation.
The “Scientiae Studies” series regularly publishes monographs and collections of papers; it also seeks English translations of recent, original works which were produced outside the Anglo-American sphere. In terms of edited volumes, the editors particularly encourage essays whose intellectual life has grown significantly from their airing at a conference and smaller assemblages of papers with an in-depth introduction, all drawing from the same bibliography. As for monographic projects, this series emphasizes the grounding of new analysis in cultural and historical context, rather than surveys, as well as a deeply archival and praxeological approach.
