      abstract = {Reflecting a growing interest in the history of knowledge,  this book explores the importance of scholarly virtues  during the late nineteenth century. The practice of science  is moulded on notions of scholarly values, such as  diligence, impartiality, meticulousness and patience, but  here, the author focuses on the virtues of collegial  loyalty and critical independence. By analysing how virtues  were reflected in day-to-day scholarly work, and examining  the possibility that these virtues may have come into  conflict with each other, this book sheds light on what is  often described as the moral economy of scholarship, a  metaphor which draws attention to the changeability of the  expectations raised by virtue. Highlighting the  pre-eminence and exemplary nature of German scholarship  during the nineteenth century, the author provides a  detailed analysis of four evaluative practices used by  scholars across the humanities, social sciences and natural  sciences in a number of German universities. This allows a  nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between  collegial loyalty and critical independence in the academic  working environment, and draws comparisons across varying  disciplines. A welcome contribution to a growing field of  research, this book provides a comparative and  transdisciplinary overview of scholarly virtues and will be  of interest to those researching the history of science and  the humanities.},
