阿克顿，英国历史学家，剑桥大学钦定近代史讲座教授，三一学院名誉成员。曾担任《漫谈者》主编，策划和主持编写了卷帙浩繁的《剑桥近代史》，身后留下了许多论文、笔记、演讲稿、短文、书信及个人思考的记录。阿克顿被当代的许多学者誉为“自由主义的预言家”。同历史上许多关注过自由的学者不一样的地方在于：阿克顿不是在探讨自由的价值、自由的后果，而是在探讨自由得以产生的原因，自由得以长久保存的条件。为此，他详细考察了自古希腊、罗马以来的人类历史，得出了他在自由问题上的许多真知灼见和先知般的预言，这些思想奠定了他作为自由主义预言家的地位。1902年于特格尔西辞世。

Renowned for his 'Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy' and 'Reflections on History', Jacob Burckhardt (1818-97) has been described as "the most civilised historian of the nineteenth century".

Western Civilisation was in its pomp when Jacob Burckhardt delivered his Judgements on History and Historians; European Empires spanned the globe, while the modern age was being forged in the nationalist revolutions of 1848. As a tutor to the young Friedrich Nietzsche as well as one of the first historians to take 'culture' as his subject rather than the triumphs and travails...(展开全部)

SOURCES ON THE HEPHTHALITE HISTORY是同作者《嚈哒史料辑注》一书的英文版，是作者对中外嚈哒史相关史料的全面辑注。 作者自1979年开始研究嚈哒史以來，一直没有停止收集与嚈哒史直接有关的资料。他将已收集到者结集，编成《嚈哒史料辑注》。除汉语的若干篇外，计有希腊—拉丁语的11种、亚美尼亚语3种、敘利亚语2种、梵语10种、阿拉伯语3种、波斯语3种和藏语1种。采录入书者，除1种系法语外，其余均为英译。作者谦逊地认为，之所以不考虑汉译之，盖英译出诸各语文专家之手，译文与原文几乎是等值的，若转译为汉语，这本史料集的价值势必大打折扣。至于古汉语资料，为了和全书保持一致，作者转译成英语。
