title = "Early Modern Philologies of Hair.: Hadrians Junius{\textquoteright} Commentary on Hair (1556) and Boxhorn{\textquoteright}s Little Mirrors (1644)",
abstract = "This article shows that the Commentary about Hair (1556) by the Dutch humanist Hadrianus Junius was a source of inspiration for the two 'Little Mirrors' on long and short hair (1644) produced by the Leiden professor Marcus Zuerius Boxhorn. Junius focused on Greek and Roman antiquity, whereas Boxhorn was prompted by the 'Hairy War', a heated public debate in Holland in the 1640s about the question whether long hair on men was in conflict with 1 Cor. 11:14. Unlike his contemporaries, Boxhorn ignored the biblical discussion and adopted, just like Junius did, a philological and antiquarian approach, but one focused on near-contemporary and regional customs. Both men implied that hair fashion is historically situated and should hence not be policed. ",
