Johann Gottfried von Herder's "Ideas on the Philosophy of the History of Mankind," laid the philosophical (and, in his view, historical) foundations for ideals of nationalism. While for Herder the problem of nationalism concerned the unification of diverse German states, his ideas and arguments informed more illiberal extremes of popular sovereignty.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
