- Confessionalisation and Erudition in Early Modern Europe: An Episode in the History of the Humanities suggests a new approach to the history of the pre-modern humanities. Within the volume, Levitin supplies 187 pages. First, he provides a comprehensive comparative overview of the interaction of confessionalisation and erudition across Europe from 1500 to 1750. His second contribution, co-written with Scott Mandelbrote (Cambridge) is provides a complete revision of our understanding on how Isaac Newton became heterodox. It is based on a previously unknown source (a set of manuscript disputation), and a full reevaluation of Cambridge theology in the 17th century.
