metadata.value: The present article examines the impact of the 15th-century Renaissance debate on the true
  nobility on social beliefs of the English antiquarians of the 16th and 17th centuries. It is based
  on textual corpora of J. Ferne, T. Milles, J. Selden, M. Carter, and other well-known early modern
  intellectuals. The author of the article believes that a persistent tendency towards a coherent
  description and classification of nobility and more broadly — of any social group within
  the early modern British society — is inseparably connected with the antiquarian tradition
  of the 16th and 17th centuries. It was within this tradition that so called epistemological turn
  emerged that led to discursive fragmentation of the entire social order as well as social groups
  which formed its entirety and complexity. The antiquarian framing of all complexities of social
  order was based not only on the rejection of an idea of institutional entity — crucial for the
  medieval corporate theory. In contrast to corporate-functional homogeneity and consistency,
  it introduced particular group-wide characteristics. These features opened up opportunities
  for remodeling of the ancient regime with consideration of diversity inherent in social indicia.
  Nobilitas in the antiquarian texts acquired at least two interconnected meanings. The term was
  used as a reference to an assemblage of an entire nobility and in this way was very close to a
  group-wide identity. At the same time, it denoted a total gentility and, in this context, reflected
  the very complex of Aristotelian and Stoic understanding of the true nobility.
