After Paris' awakening as judge, the legend finds its way into various literary genres. The papers are unanimous that they hold lessons for the reader. Therefore, the duplex sententia is assigned to the picturesque testimony. The artists, however, found their own ways of hinting the observer to the multiple layers of meaning. Simultaneously the value of didactic function of portraits from the 17th c. has to be relativized, as the eroticism made a significant contribution to the popularization.

The Theatrum Sabaudiae (1682) is an illustrated publication that vividly depicted the territories of the Duchy of Savoy through detailed copper engravings and panegyric descriptions. The book was an important instrument of courtly representation, with text and images providing a sumptuous as well as persuasive means of self-presentation for the Duke of Savoy, his policies and his possessions. After the first edition, the book was printed in six further editions that were aimed not only at an audience of aristocrats but also at book collectors and scholars.

How did the relations between philosophy and science evolve during the 17th and the 18th century ? This book analyzes this issue by considering the history of Cartesianism in Dutch universities, as well as its legacy in the 18th century. It takes into account the ways in which the disciplines of logic and metaphysics became functional to the justification and reflection on the conceptual premises and the methods of natural philosophy, changing their traditional roles as art of reasoning and as science of being. This transformation took place as a result of two factors. First, logic and metaphysics (which included rational theology) were used to grant the status of indubitable knowledge of natural philosophy. Second, the debates internal to Cartesianism, as well as the emergence of alternative philosophical world-views (such as those of Hobbes, Spinoza, the experimental science and Newtonianism) progressively deprived such disciplines of their foundational function, and they started to become forms of reflection over given scientific practices, either Cartesian, experimental, or Newtonian

American national self-invention is fundamentally entwined with cultural constructions of American "prehistory" - the human presence on the continent since the earliest arrivals at least 16,000 years ago. Embattled Excavations offers exemplary readings of the entanglements between reconstructions of the American deep past and racialist ideologies and legal doctrine, with continental expansionism and Manifest Destiny, and with the epistemic and spiritual crisis about the origins of mankind following nineteenth-century discoveries in the fields of geology and evolutionary biology. It argues, from a decolonial perspective, that popular assumptions about the early history of settlement effectively downplay the length and intensity of the Indigenous presence on the continent. Individual chapters critically investigate modern scientific hypotheses about Pleistocene migrations; they follow in the tracks of imperial and transatlantic adventurers in search of Maya ruins and fossil megafauna; and they triangulate colonial and transcultural reconstructions of the events leading to the formation of Crater Lake (Oregon) with previously ignored Indigenous traditions about the ancient cataclysm. The examples show a deep-seated colonial anxiety about America's foreign pre-colonial past, evinced by popular archaeology's nervous silencing of Indigenous knowledge - a condition now subject to revision due to a growing Indigenous presence in the discursive field.
