Mercenaries of Knowledge by Fabien Montcher

From Lisbon to Rome via the islands of the Gulf of Guinee and the sugar mills of Northern Brazil, this book explores the strategies and practices (e. g. bibliopolitics) that displaced scholars cultivated to navigate the murky waters of Late Renaissance politics, through the life of the Portuguese jurist-scholar, Vicente Nogueira (15861654).
Fabien Montcher is Assistant Professor of History at Saint Louis University. His work on the social history of knowledge and politics has been supported by the UCLA Clark Library, the Huntington Library, the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Spanish Ministry of Culture, and the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.
