彼の時代に、スカリガーのアイデアは賞賛と反対の混合で受け取られました。彼の年表の革新的な方法は、彼の分野への貢献の重要性を認識した一部の学者や歴史家から高く評価されていました。彼らは彼の仕事を歴史の研究における大きな進歩と見なし、研究に対する彼の細心のアプローチと、対立する年代系を調和させる能力を高く評価しました。

しかし、スカリガーは、特に変化に抵抗し、彼の革新に脅かされていると感じた人から、一部の四半期からの反対に直面しました。これらの反対者の何人かは、確立された年代順に執着し、スカリガーのアイデアを自分の権威と専門知識への挑戦と見なした伝統的な歴史家でした。

Scaligerのアイデアに反対する主な理由の1つは、彼の方法の複雑さと彼のシステムを使用することの難しさでした。Scaligerの年表は、数学的な計算と天文学的な観察に基づいており、高レベルの数学的スキルと専門知識が必要でした。これにより、多くの歴史家が彼のシステムを使用し、彼のアイデアを理解することが困難になりました。

これらの課題にもかかわらず、スカリガーは彼の信念に不動のままであり、彼のアイデアと方法論を促進し続けました。時間が経つにつれて、彼の作品は広範囲にわたる認識と受け入れを得ており、現在では16世紀の最も重要な歴史家の一人と見なされています。
In his time, Scaliger's ideas were received with a mixture of admiration and opposition. His innovative method of chronology was highly regarded by some scholars and historians who recognized the importance of his contributions to the field. They saw his work as a major advance in the study of history and appreciated his meticulous approach to research and his ability to reconcile conflicting chronological systems.

However, Scaliger also faced opposition from some quarters, particularly from those who were resistant to change and who felt threatened by his innovations. Some of these opponents were traditional historians who were attached to established chronological systems and who saw Scaliger's ideas as a challenge to their authority and expertise.

One of the main reasons for opposition to Scaliger's ideas was the complexity of his methods and the difficulty of using his system. Scaliger's chronology was based on mathematical calculations and astronomical observations, which required a high level of mathematical skill and expertise. This made it difficult for many historians to use his system and understand his ideas, which contributed to resistance to his innovations.

Despite these challenges, Scaliger remained steadfast in his convictions and continued to promote his ideas and methodologies. Over time, his work gained widespread recognition and acceptance, and he is now regarded as one of the most important historians of the 16th century.
