\"EMLO_front_2017.1.20\"Of course eagle-eyed users will have spotted already significant new-year additions to existing catalogues in EMLO: as of this week, the calendar of\u00a0Henry Oldenburg<\/a>\u2019s correspondence extends\u00a0to the end of July 1675 (with only two more of the Halls\u2019 volumes to go, and just over two-years\u2019 worth of letters to take the calendar to completion, we\u2019re looking forward to celebrating Oldenburg and his correspondence later this year); Pierre Bayle<\/a>\u2019s correspondence in EMLO has been augmented with volumes eight and nine of the Voltaire Foundation<\/a>\u2019s truly magnificent\u00a0Correspondance de Pierre Bayle<\/a><\/em>, compiled and edited under the direction of \u2020Elisabeth Labrousse and Professor Antony McKenna<\/a>; and, thanks to the\u00a0wonderful collaboration between Professor Adam Mosley<\/a> and Dr Francesco Barrecca<\/a>, Johannes Kepler<\/a>\u2019s catalogue now includes metadata from the letters in volume XVI of Max Caspar\u2019s Gesammelte Werk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And then followers of Twitter may have realised we\u2019ve been equally busy shaping collaborations for the years ahead. Last week we hosted here at Oxford\u2019s Faculty of History<\/a> a workshop for a group of eleven volunteers from Huygens ING<\/a>\u00a0which, under the direction of project leader and researcher Dr Ineke Huysman<\/a>, is\u00a0embarking upon the collation of a calendar for Dutch Grand Pensionary Johan de Witt\u2019s extremely large correspondence. Whilst primarily diplomatic and administrative in their subject matter, these letters include also De Witt\u2019s exchanges with a number of scholars as well as his personal correspondence. With political and economic complications intensifying these days at every turn, we are immensely proud and fortunate to be involved in\u00a0so many early modern pan-European collaborations. Surely the intelligencers Oldenburg and Bayle would have been supportive of what we\u2019re working so hard to achieve with EMLO<\/a>, and both our own Andrew W. Mellon<\/a>-funded Culture of Knowledge<\/a> project and the pioneering\u00a0COST Action<\/a> Reassembling the Republic of Letters<\/a>, also headed by our CofK project director Professor Howard Hotson<\/a>, have a more crucial role to play in today’s world of change\u00a0than we could possibly have envisaged a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
