Philip Jacob Sachs von Lewenheimb (1627-1672) and his Role within Intellectual Network of the Czech Lands
Original language description
The paper documents the situation of Early Modern scholarship in the Czech Lands through a study of the relatively unknown correspondence of the Breslau physician, member of the Academia naturae curiosorum and chief editor of its journal Miscellanea curiosa Philipp Jakob Sachs von Lewenheimb and the Jesuit polymath Athanasius Kircher with correspondents in the Czech Lands. The intersections of the predominantly Catholic correspondence network of Jesuit Athanasius Kircher with the mainly Protestant specialist correspondence network of physician Philipp Jakob Sachs von Lewenheimb appear exceptionally interesting and provide information about often less well-known personalities and practices which facilitated the flow of information between individual parts of Europe, denominations and social groups. The article also illustrates how the genre of "observationes" and the emergence of scientific journals generally propelled the scholarly correspondence not only in Central European area.
