Hamilton, A. Maurits H. van den Boogert, M.H. and Westerweel, B. 2005. The Republic of Letters and the Levant. Leiden: Paul Brill.

"The eleven articles in this book seek to document the interest in the Levant that prevailed in the Republic of Letters from the Renaissance to the late eighteenth century.

Goodman, D., 1996. The Republic of letters: a cultural history of the French enlightenment. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press.

 "In the first major reinterpretation of the French Enlightenment in twenty years, Dena Goodman moves beyond the traditional approach to the Enlightenment as a chapter in Western intellectual history and examines its deeper significance as cultural history. She finds the very epicenter of the Enlightenment in a community of discourse known as the Republic of Letters, where salons governed by women advanced the Enlightenment project "to change the common way of thinking".
