Geschichtsschreibung als Kunst - Famiano Strada S.I. (1572-1649) und die ars historica in Italien

This study on the Jesuit historian Famiano Strada represents a major contribution to Neo-Latin philological research and the history of historical writing. In his works, Strada reflects on the problems voiced by numerous scholars around 1600 regarding the study of history and its written presentation. Strada's Latin historical work De Bello Belgico was the object of intense debate among his contemporaries.
