Die bisherige Camerarius-Forschung hat einerseits einen deutlich philologischen Schwerpunkt und hat es andererseits bisher nicht vermocht, unterschiedliche Wissenschaftsgebiete, auf denen der Humanist tätig war, fruchtbar miteinander zu verknüpfen. In diese Lücke stößt der vorliegende Sammelband. Nicodemus Frischlin charakterisiert Camerarius in seiner Komödie Julius Redivivus (entstanden 1585) als „zweiten Varro, zweiten Theokrit, zweiten Polybius, als großen, erhabenen und gedankenreichen Redner sowie als gefälligen Dichter“ (VV. 1265–1267). In diesem Elogium werden nicht nur einige Disziplinen des Universalgelehrten mit je einem herausragenden antiken Vertreter benannt, sondern es kommt auch die deutliche Prägung des Humanisten durch die Rhetorik zum Ausdruck. Er selbst hatte die Auffassung vertreten, das Sprachstudium helfe beim Verstehen aller Künste, Begriffe seien nicht zur Erklärung von Dingen da, sondern aus den Dingen deduktiv hergeleitet. Seine „rhetorische“ Methode steht im Zentrum des Bandes.

Adam, Prometheus, and Faust--their stories were central to the formation of Western consciousness and continue to be timely cautionary tales in an age driven by information and technology. Here Theodore Ziolkowski explores how each myth represents a response on the part of ancient Hebrew, ancient Greek, and sixteenth-century Christian culture to the problem of knowledge, particularly humankind's powerful, perennial, and sometimes unethical desire for it. This book exposes for the first time the similarities underlying these myths as well as their origins in earlier trickster legends, and considers when and why they emerged in their respective societies. It then examines the variations through which the themes have been adapted by modern writers to express their own awareness of the sin of knowledge. Each myth is shown to capture the anxiety of a society when faced with new knowledge that challenges traditional values. Ziolkowski's examples of recent appropriations of the myths are especially provocative. From Voltaire to the present, the Fall of Adam has provided an image for the emergence from childhood innocence into the consciousness of maturity. Prometheus, as the challenger of authority and the initiator of technological evil, yielded an ambivalent model for the socialist imagination of the German Democratic Republic. And finally, an America unsettled by its responsibility for the atomic bomb, and worrying that in its postwar prosperity it had betrayed its values, recognized in Faust the disturbing image of its soul.
