The essay argues that different attitudes towards the use of vernacular languages as means for scholarly communication were reflected in different uses of the past for the celebration of one's national identities. The aim of this essay is to compare the publication agendas of two eminent seventeenth- century English and German antiquaries, namely, Elias Ashmole (1617-92) and Peter Lambeck (1628-80). The former founded the first public museum in the British Isles, the Ashmolean in Oxford in 1683; the latter was Keeper of the Imperial Library in Vienna between 1662 and 1680.

Abstract
The essay argues that different attitudes towards the use of vernacular languages as means for scholarly communication were reflected in different uses of the past for the celebration of one's national identities. The aim of this essay is to compare the publication agendas of two eminent seventeenth- century English and German antiquaries, namely, Elias Ashmole (1617-92) and Peter Lambeck (1628-80). The former founded the first public museum in the British Isles, the Ashmolean in Oxford in 1683; the latter was Keeper of the Imperial Library in Vienna between 1662 and 1680.File in questo prodotto:
