The Ancients with the Moderns: Oxford's approaches to publishing ancient science, in A. Tadié, P. Bullard, Ancients and Moderns in Europe: comparative perspectives (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2016).

This article considers the contribution to the Querelle of Oxford University, through its publishing programme of ancient science, e.1660-1710. It argues that the Oxford positive and utilitarian attitude towards the classics owed much to an Oxford intellectual tradition stemming from the Savilian Statutes (1619). In early modern Oxford, scientific works were the result of a positive attitude towards a virtual collaboration of the Ancients with the Moderns. Science was the one field in which scholars did not need to employ an anti-classical rhetoric.
