OverviewFrom the sixteenth through to the eighteenth century, printed disputations were the main academic output of universities. This genre is especially attractive as it deals with the most significant cultural and scientific innovations of the early modern period, such as the printing revolution and the development of new methods in philosophy, education and scholarly exchange via personal networks. Until recently, academic disputations have attracted comparatively little scholarly attention. This volume provides for the first time a comprehensive study of the early modern disputation culture, both through theoretical discussions and overviews, and numerous case studies that analyze particular features of disputations in various European regions.

The three editors confirm this claim with thirty-two case studies by different authors, investigating the topic of early modern printed disputations. Research on disputations, occupying as it does a somewhat marginal place in historical scholarship, is rendered more accessible to a wider audience through the use of English especially because of the book's concentration on some more peripheral regions of Europe. This should be applauded. One can only hope that this avenue of research will be continued because there is still so much to discover, which, thanks to the progressing digitization of the sources, is now much easier.
