Translation supplied early modern students with a first output for their academic career, while introducing them to the workings of the printing trade. This article shows that through translation students could also become information brokers in the Republic of Letters. I focus on Friedrich Wilhelm Roloff (1714–1741) in Berlin, who translated a single chapter from the Histoire critique de Manichée et de manichéisme (1734) by the Huguenot theologian Isaac de Beausobre (1659–1738). Highlighting the paratexts of Roloff’s publication, I argue that print enabled students to play the role of mediators in theological disputes. Translating Beausobre’s chapter into the material format of a printed dissertation, Roloff dedicated his book to Siegmund Jakob Baumgarten (1706–1757), commemorating Baumgarten’s appointment as professor at Halle. As the translation and its collaborative production formed part of a larger network of Wolffianism, my article reveals that Roloff was made into a broker by accident.
翻译为早期现代学生的学术生涯提供了第一份成果，同时向他们介绍了印刷业的运作方式。通过翻译，学生也可以成为《文坛》中的信息掮客。我的重点是柏林的弗里德里希·威廉·罗洛夫(1714-1741)，他翻译了胡格诺神学家艾萨克·德·博索布雷(1659-1738)所著的《manichmosime et de manichmosiisme》(1734)中的一章。强调罗洛夫出版的文本，我认为印刷使学生能够在神学争论中扮演调解人的角色。罗洛夫将博索布雷的章节翻译成印刷论文的材料格式，将他的书献给西格蒙德·雅各布·鲍姆加滕(1706-1757)，以纪念鲍姆加滕被任命为哈雷大学教授。由于翻译及其合作制作构成了沃尔夫主义更大网络的一部分，我的文章揭示了罗洛夫是偶然成为经纪人的。

Carolus Clusius (1526–1609) is primarily known as Europe’s most famous botanist in his time, but he pursued a wide range of activitites as an eminent member of the res publica litteraria. He had manyfold relations to Hungary; Clusius-scholarship has so far focused on his friendship with the aristocrat Boldizsár Batthyány, but in Vienna he also exchanged a number of letters with the two most important Pozsony humanists in the period: Nicasius Ellebodius, the excellent Grecist, also of Low Countries origin, and Georg Purkircher, city physician of Pozsony and author of a number of humanist works. Based on archival, literary and artistic sources, Clusius’ friendship to them, their encounters, and their common fields of interest can be well demonstrated. Beyond contributing to the biographies of these three men of letters, the mapping of these relations also provide a good cross-section of knowledge transfer within Central Europe at the end of the sixteenth century.

By failing to keep up with the praxeological turn of early modern Europeanists in the 1980s, scholarship on colonial America has consistently discounted the historical student. Uninterested in examining the intellectual habits of colonial students, early American historians have had little to say about seventeenth- and eighteenth-century schools beyond rehearsing worn, and often demonstrably false platitudes. This article seeks to take colonial students seriously by examining one of their most common, yet little studied intellectual practices: shorthand. When we apply the focus on intellectual praxis to modest subjects, when we look across boundaries of space and time, placing colonial America back into the fold of early modern history, a different image of the historical student snaps into focus. Rather than negligible rote memorizers, colonial students become active and engaged learners who sought to propagate the latest scribal technologies of their times.

The enticingly modern strain of republicanism that young Prince Cosimo iii de’ Medici (1642–1723) encountered during his two sojourns in the Dutch Republic (1667–1669) proved a forceful means to reimagine Tuscany’s own, administrative past and present. Through comparative analysis of the unpublished travel journal of Medici secretary Apollonio Bassetti (1631–1699) and the diary in verse by court physician Giovanni Andrea Moniglia (1624–1700), we argue that Cosimo iii’s ambitious agenda abroad was influenced predominantly by his desire to implement environmental reform and portray a contrasting socio-political model at home. Cosimo’s own journeys were followed by ongoing transnational exchange, as testified by the court’s efforts to conceptualize a Medici town atlas and cultivate exotic pineapple plants on the Tuscan soil. By importing artefacts and ideas, then, Cosimo iii – just prior to his succession by Gian Gastone (1671–1737), last of the Medici grand dukes – sought to consciously craft the Medici dynasty’s lasting legacy.
年轻的王子科西莫三世·德·美第奇（1642-1723）在荷兰共和国的两次逗留期间（1667-1669）遇到了令人振奋的现代共和主义，这证明了重新想象托斯卡纳自己的行政过去和现在的有力手段。通过对美第奇秘书Apolonio Bassetti（1631–1699）未出版的旅行日记和宫廷医生Giovanni Andrea Moniglia（1624–1700）的诗歌日记的比较分析，我们认为科西莫三世在国外的雄心勃勃的议程主要受他实施环境改革和在国内描绘对比鲜明的社会政治模式的愿望的影响。科西莫自己的旅程之后是持续的跨国交流，正如法院为构思美第奇镇地图集和在托斯卡纳土地上种植外来菠萝植物所做的努力所证明的那样。于是，科西莫三世——就在他被美第奇最后一位大公吉安·加斯通（1671–1737）继承之前——通过进口文物和思想，试图有意识地创造美第奇王朝的持久遗产。
