The history of scholarship is the historical study of
fields of study which are not covered by the English term "science" (cf., history of science), but are covered by, for example, the German term "Wissenschaft" (i.e., all kinds of academic studies). Examples are the history of classical studies, the history of the study of religions, of philosophy, of Biblical studies, of historiography, of the study of music, the study of arts, the study of literature etc. It is a field which has recently undergone a complete renewal and is now a major branch of research.[1] As of 2016, the journal History of Humanities
is dedicated to writing the history of scholarship in the humanities as different from (although interconnected with) the sciences.
Philosophers, scholars, polymaths, and scientists
The word scientist was coined by the English philosopher and historian of science William Whewell in 1833. Until then there was no differentiation between the history of science, the history of philosophy and the history of scholarship.[2][3]
Before 1700 the fields of scholarship were not of a size that made academic specialisation necessary.[Arts and Humanities.[citation needed]
