Zusammenfassung:	Nicholas of Cusa and Early Modern Reform sheds new light on Cusanus' relationship to early modernity by focussing on the reform of church, the reform of theology, the reform of perspective, and the reform of method - which together aim to encompass the breadth and depth of Cusanus' own reform initiatives. In particular, in examining the way in which he served as inspiration for a wide and diverse array of reform-minded philosophers, ecclesiastics, theologians, and lay scholars in the midst of their struggle for the renewal and restoration of the individual, society, and the world, our volume combines a focus on Cusanus as a paradigmatic thinker with a study of his concrete influence on early modern thought. This volume is aimed at scholars working in the field of late medieval and early modern philosophy, theology, and history of science. As the first Anglophone volume to explore the early modern reception of Cusanus, this work will provide an important complement to a growing number of companions focussing on Cusanus' life and thought
