👉 Jean Mabillon in the context of Göttingen school of history

The Göttingen school of history was a group of German historians associated with a particular style of historiography located at the University of Göttingen in the late 18th century.

The University of Göttingen was the original center of the "Geschichtswissenschaft" or history as an academic discipline, and became a major centre for globally-orientated anthropology. The school itself was one of the newest universities in Europe, having been founded in 1734 by Gerlach Adolph von Münchhausen, and the first to include the obligation to conduct and publish research alongside lecturing. The historians of this school sought to write a universal history by combining the critical methods of Jean Mabillon with that of the philosophical historians such as Voltaire and Edward Gibbon.
