This research explores the complex discussions surrounding the risks of dogmatically accepting religious testimonies versus the destructive nature of historic Pyrrhonism. It initiates an examination of the polemic on the value of fides historica, drawing from Gronovius' interventions as a pivotal moment highlighting the philosophical debate on the certainty of history, its value, limits, and the conditions enabling knowledge of it. The study of documented facts, such as Lex Regia, necessitates a rejection of abstract conceptual overlaps, emphasizing the historical depth of erudite antiquarian work. This work becomes crucial in the theoretical-historiographical discourse, representing a new synthesis of philosophical history and antiquarian methods, blending erudition with philosophy, reason with history. Fabrizio Lomonaco, a Professor of History of Philosophy at the University of Naples "Federico II," is actively involved in editorial roles for several journals, including "Archivio di storia della cultura" and "Bollettino del Centro di studi vichiani." He directs "Civiltà del Mediterraneo" and "Logos" and has authored essays on 17th-18th century Holland and Southern Italian thought, focusing on figures like Grotius, Vico, and Metastasio.

Exploring the thematic and lexical fields of tolerance, this book delves into the cultural landscapes of seventeenth and eighteenth-century Dutch and Italian societies. It examines how concepts of tolerance evolved from ancient times, highlighting key historical contexts and cultural shifts. By analyzing language and themes, the work reveals the intricate relationship between cultural practices and the development of tolerance during this transformative period in European history.

What significance did the Lex Regia De Imperio Vespasiani bear for the Dutch philosophers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? Did it simply define a question of law and its ancient use? Was it responsible for the definition of a scholarly exercise in literary-rhetorical regulae? New Studies on Lex Regia explores these questions as the dispute on a non-literary source (the Lex Regia) is exemplary for the way in which philological research came together with interpretations of the Roman law and the political conclusions drawn from them. Situated between philosophy and philology, this book attempts to rehabilitate a debate on the fides historica in Cartesianism and post-Cartesian Pyrrhonism. It focuses on the role that modern historiography on Rome plays in the construction of the politico-cultural model between republicanism and absolutism in the works of the Dutch thinkers Gronovius, Ulrik Huber, Perizonius, Noodt and Barbeyrac.
