ジョセフ・スカリガーの時代、彼のアイデアと歴史の分野への貢献は、大きな関心と興奮をもって広く受け入れられました。年表の彼の作品は画期的なものと見なされており、彼は彼の時代の主要な学者の一人として広く見なされていました。多くの現代の学者は、彼の仕事の重要性を認識し、歴史の分野における彼の専門知識を認めました。

しかし、スカリガーのアイデアには反対がなかったわけではありません。彼の時代の学者の中には、彼の年代順に懐疑的であり、一部の人は異なるソースを使用して普遍的な年表を確立する方法に挑戦しました。また、何世紀にもわたって受け入れられてきた歴史上の日付や出来事のいくつかが間違っているかもしれないという考えを受け入れることに抵抗した人々もいました。

学術的な反対に加えて、スカリガーはまた、彼の作品が伝統的な宗教的信念と聖書の出来事の年表に挑戦するかもしれないと心配していたいくつかの宗教指導者からの反対にも直面しました。また、スカリガーは古典学者と情報源の権威を損なっていると感じ、彼のアプローチは伝統や文化的遺産ではなく、正確さと科学的方法に焦点を合わせすぎていると感じた人もいました。

これらの課題にもかかわらず、Scaligerの仕事は広く認識され、評価され続けました。時間が経つにつれて、彼のアイデアは広く受け入れられ、歴史の現代の理解に対する彼の貢献は、この分野に永続的な影響を与えました。今日、彼の作品は依然として歴史の研究への重要な貢献と広く見なされており、彼の方法と技術は、世界中の歴史家や学者によって引き続き使用されています。
During Joseph Scaliger's time, his ideas and contributions to the field of history were widely received with great interest and excitement. His work in chronology was seen as groundbreaking and he was widely regarded as one of the leading scholars of his time. Many contemporary scholars recognized the significance of his work and acknowledged his expertise in the field of history.

However, Scaliger's ideas were not without opposition. Some scholars of his time were skeptical of his chronological system, and some challenged his method of using different sources to establish a universal chronology. There were also those who were resistant to accepting the idea that some of the dates and events in history that had been accepted for centuries might be incorrect.

In addition to scholarly opposition, Scaliger also faced opposition from some religious leaders, who were concerned that his work might challenge traditional religious beliefs and the chronology of biblical events. There were also some who felt that Scaliger was undermining the authority of classical scholars and sources, and that his approach was too focused on accuracy and scientific method, rather than tradition and cultural heritage.

Despite these challenges, Scaliger's work continued to be widely recognized and appreciated. Over time, his ideas became widely accepted, and his contributions to the modern understanding of history have had a lasting impact on the field. Today, his work is still widely regarded as a seminal contribution to the study of history, and his methods and techniques continue to be used by historians and scholars around the world.
