British historian. Born January 10th in Naples, Italy. After studying history at the University of Munich in Germany, he settled in England in 1858. He served as a member of the House of Commons (1859-1865) and was created a baron in 1869. A representative of liberal Catholics, he strongly criticized the doctrine of papal infallibility. In 1895, he succeeded Seely as professor of the Regius Chair of Modern History at Cambridge University. Although his term of office was only seven years, he firmly believed in the possibility of a purely objective "definitive history" that everyone could agree on, and left a great impact on the academic world. The Cambridge Modern History series, which he edited, was the concrete result of that belief, but he himself fell ill before its publication and died on June 19th, 1902. The series was published posthumously. [Matsumura Takeshi] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
イギリスの歴史家。1月10日イタリアのナポリに生まれる。ドイツのミュンヘン大学で歴史を学んだのち、1858年よりイギリスに定住。下院議員(1859~1865)を務め1869年男爵に叙された。自由主義的旧教徒の代表で、教皇不可謬(ふかびゅう)性の教理を強く批判。1895年シーリーの後任としてケンブリッジ大学の近代史欽定(きんてい)講座担当教授となり、在任期間は7年にすぎなかったが、万人の首肯しうる純客観的な「決定的歴史」の可能性を固く信じて、学界に大きな影響を残した。彼の編集になる『ケンブリッジ近代史』叢書(そうしょ)はその信念の具体的結実であったが、彼自身はその刊行前に病に倒れ、1902年6月19日死去。叢書は死後に刊行された。 [松村 赳] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
