520 2  "Antiquarian, lawyer, and cat lover Nicolas Fabri de 
       Peiresc (1580-1637), was a 'prince' of the Republic of 
       Letters and the most gifted French intellectual in the 
       generation between Montaigne and Descartes. From Peiresc's
       study in Aix-en-Provence, his insatiable curiosity poured 
       forth in thousands of letters that traveled the 
       Mediterranean, seeking knowledge of matters mundane and 
       exotic--travel times and insurance premiums, rare 
       manuscripts and objects from the Orient. Mining the 
       remarkable 70,000-page archive of this Provençal humanist 
       and polymath, Peter N. Miller recovers a lost 
       Mediterranean world of the early seventeenth century that 
       was dominated by the sea: the ceaseless activity of 
       merchants, customs officials, and ships' captains at the 
       center of Europe's sprawling maritime networks. Peiresc's 
       Mediterranean World reconstructs the web of connections 
       that linked the bustling port city of Marseille to 
       destinations throughout the Western Mediterranean, North 
       Africa, the Levant, and beyond. As Miller also makes clear,
       Peiresc's mastery of practical details and his 
       collaboration with local traders and fixers as well as 
       scholars, sheds new light on the structure of knowledge-
       making in the age of Bacon, Galileo, and Rubens. Miller 
       shows that Peiresc's pursuit of Oriental studies, for 
       example, depended crucially on his abilities as a man of 
       action. Exploring the historian's craft today against the 
       backdrop of Peiresc's diverse research activities, 
       Peiresc's Mediterranean World suggests new possibilities 
       for scholarship on the past, but also for the relationship
       between the writing of history and its readers"--Provided
