In 1829 he went to Berlin, where Schleiermacher, Hengstenberg, Neander, Ranke and Raumer were among his teachers.

He was not above par in literary criticism ; his Indian articles will not hold water ; and his two most famous reviews, on Bacon and Ranke, show his incompetence.

Ranke wrote largely on the history of Early Modern Europe, using the diplomatic archives of the European powers ( particularly the Venetians ) to construct a detailed understanding of the history of Europe wie es eigentlich gewesen (" as it actually happened .").

He had already made himself known by critical studies on the history of the Middle Ages, of which the most important was his Geschichte des ersten Kreuzzuges ( History of the First Crusade ) ( Düsseldorf, 1841 ; new ed., Leipzig, 1881 ), a work which, besides its merit as a valuable piece of historical investigation employing the critical methods he had learnt from Ranke, was also of some significance as a protest against the vaguely enthusiastic attitude encouraged by the Romantic school towards the Middle Ages.

In 1856, on the recommendation of Ranke, Sybel accepted the post of professor at Munich, where King Maximilian II of Bavaria, a generous patron of learning, hoped to establish a school of history.

Ranke set the standards for much of later historical writing, introducing such ideas as reliance on primary sources ( Empiricism ), an emphasis on narrative history and especially international politics ( Aussenpolitik ).

Ranke later wrote " I see the time approaching when we shall base modern history, no longer on the reports even of contemporary historians, except in-so-far as they were in the possession of personal and immediate knowledge of facts ; and still less on work yet more remote from the source ; but rather on the narratives of eyewitnesses, and on genuine and original documents.

In his 1833 article " The Great Powers " and his 1836 article " Dialogue on Politics " Ranke claimed that every state is given a special moral character from God and individuals should strive to best fulfill the " idea " of their state.

As a Protestant, Ranke was barred from viewing the Vatican archives in Rome, but on the basis of private papers in Rome and Venice, Ranke was able to explain the history of the papacy in the 1500s.

After his retirement in 1871, Ranke continued to write on a variety of subjects relating to German history such as the French Revolutionary Wars, Albrecht von Wallenstein, Karl August von Hardenberg, and King Frederick William IV of Prussia.

Starting in 1880, Ranke began a huge six-volume work on World History, which began with ancient Egypt and the Israelites.

During his period in Berlin, he came in contact with and was greatly influenced by Friedrich Carl von Savigny, Alexander von Humboldt, Eduard Gans, and especially Professor Leopold von Ranke, whose ideas on the necessity for politicians to be acquainted with historical science he readily adopted.

Belasyse in particular was said to have been designated Commander-in-Chief of the Popish army, but Charles II, according to Von Ranke, ridiculed the idea on the ground that the man could then hardly stand on his feet with gout.

As a critic of independent Views he won the approval of Goethe ; on the other hand, he fell into violent controversy with Ranke about questions connected with Italian history.

This difference between European and American use of " source criticism " is somewhat strange considering the influence of Ranke on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

As written above, modern source criticism in history is closely associated with the German historian Leopold von Ranke ( 1795 – 1886 ), who influenced historical methods on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, although in rather different ways.

Ranke thus sent the researcher to the archives for primary sources ; there he should transcend his personal predispositions and parochial loyalties, and write objective history " wie es eigentlich gewesen " (" as it actually happened ").

Ranke saw diplomatic history as the most important kind of history to write because of his idea of the " Primacy of Foreign Affairs " ( Primat der Aussenpolitik ), arguing that the concerns of international relations drive the internal development of the state.

For example, Leopold Von Ranke, probably the pre-eminent historian of the 19th century, founder of " Rankean positivism ," the classic mode of historiography that now stands against postmodernism, attempted to write a Universal History at the close of his career.

" For Eduard Meyer, Macaulay and Leopold von Ranke, who initiated modern source-based history writing, Thucydides was again the model historian.

Among the friends of the family was the historian Leopold von Ranke, which advised the parents to support the boy's innate talent.

Although much of existing written history might be classified as diplomatic history-Thucydides, certainly, is among other things, highly concerned with the relations among states-the modern form of diplomatic history was codified in the 19th century by Leopold von Ranke, a the leading German historian of the 19th century.

* Leopold von Ranke, ( 1795 – 1886 ), European diplomacy ; probably the greatest German historian

Refusing to limit himself to political history, as did Leopold von Ranke, he never learned to handle his literary sources with the care of the scientific historian.

Leopold von Ranke ( 21 December 1795 – 23 May 1886 ) was a German neo-positivist historian and a founder of modern source-based history.

Beginning with his first book in 1824, the Geschichte der romanischen und germanischen Völker von 1494 bis 1514 ( History of the Latin and Teutonic Peoples from 1494 to 1514 ), Ranke used an unusually wide variety of sources for a historian of the age, including " memoirs, diaries, personal and formal missives, government documents, diplomatic dispatches and first-hand accounts of eye-witnesses ".

Following Georg Iggers, Peter Novick has argued that Ranke, who was more of a romantic and idealist than his American contemporaries understood, meant instead that the historian should discover the facts and find the essences behind them.

Also during his time in Berlin, Ranke became the first historian to utilise the forty-seven volumes that comprised the diplomatic archives of Venice from the 1500s and 1600s.

As a political historian, Gervinus was the antipode of Ranke.

He was born at Bonn and studied in Berlin and Munich under Leopold von Ranke and Heinrich von Sybel, being especially influenced by the latter historian.

Together they are known for having introduced a critical theory of history in Swedish historical research, inspired by German historian, Leopold von Ranke.

Problems in translation: The Danish word “ kildekritik ” like the Norwegian word “ kildekritikk ” and the Swedish word “ källkritik ” derived from the German “ Quellenkritik ” and is closely associated with the German historian Leopold von Ranke ( 1795 – 1886 ).

In a series of lectures given before the future King Maximilian II of Bavaria, Ranke argued that " every age is next to God ", by which he meant that every period of history is unique and must be understood in its own context.

In his essay ' The Great Powers ', written in 1833, von Ranke wrote: " If one could establish as a definition of a Great power that it must be able to maintain itself against all others, even when they are united, then Frederick has raised Prussia to that position.

Ranke rejected the teleological approach to history, by which each period is considered inferior to the period which follows.

While Roberto knows nothing about his past it is suggested that he is the nephew of a former high-level StB officer named Karl Ranke, since there is a resemblance between the two.

:: Ranke is a former captain in the Czechoslovak secret police who wants to see Tenma and Grimmer ; Grimmer requests an agreement to obtain the tape and research materials for an unknown party in Germany in return for Suk's safety.

This variant name could very well reflect the Egyptian name SЗt-Ptḥ, " Daughter-of-Ptah " ( the-t-in SЗt is silent ) which is known from the Middle Kingdom into the late period .< ref > Ranke, Die ägyptischen Personennamen I. 288. 22 ); cf.

Waitz is often spoken of as the chief disciple of Leopold von Ranke, though perhaps in general characteristics and mental attitude he has more affinity with Georg Heinrich Pertz or Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann.
