Lodovico Antonio Muratori (1672-1750) was one of the most prominent intellectuals of eighteenth-century Europe. His scholarship spanned from philosophy to jurisprudence, from history to epigraphy, from theology to medicine, and his political and social vision was regarded as the manifesto of the prevailing politics on the Peninsula in the first half of the eighteenth century (the so-called "Muratorian age"), precursing the Age of Enlightenment. However, despite his undisputed importance, there is not adequate awareness of Muratori's work and personality outside of Italy. Lodovico Antonio Muratori: An Intellectual in the Republic of Letters aims at providing scholars with a reference tool on Muratori's life and works, featuring contributions of both distinguished and young international scholars on all the main aspects of his production, taking into account European politics, culture, philosophy, history, law, medicine, and the society of the first half of eighteenth century.
