Andrew Melville and Humanism in Renaissance Scotland 1545-1622 (Studies in the History of Christian Traditions)

Abstract

This study is based on my PhD thesis “Andrew Melville and Humanism in the Reign of James VI” originally submitted to the University of Aberdeen in 2009 and supervised by Nicholas J. Thompson in the School of Divinity, History and Philosophy. During my time in Old Aberdeen, I enjoyed interaction with a number scholars who contributed to the development of my own thought on Melville, humanism, and the north-ern European Renaissance but none were more helpful than my advisor who generously gave of his time and skillfully assisted me in my investi-gations. For this and his enduring friendship I remain in his debt.
