What was John Locke doing, as he eagerly learned about, bought, and read contemporary works of biblical scholarship? My latest article looks at a less familiar side of Locke's life, suggesting it reveals an underappreciated early modern world of 'everyday erudition'.

As a member of the International Advisory Board of LUCK, Lund's Centre for the History of Knowledge, I recommend this job offer: an Assistant Professor at the Department of History devoted to work within a Global History of Knowledge.
