Festeinband. Zustand: Wie neu. 314 Seiten ; 22 cm Tadelloses, neuwertiges Exemplar. - In light of the quoted wisdom of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899 1944), this introduction shall be short, offering a summary of this book. Düring the course of my studies and, later on, my PhD program, I learned that unnec-essarily lengthy and detailed descriptions do not necessarily serve their purpose. I shall therefore try to introduce my topic, sources, method, structure, and underlying ideas only briefly in Order to facilitate their reading. This book was built on the PhD thesis I wrote for the joint Erasmus Mundus program TEEME, an acronym for Text and Event in Early Modern Europe. I had the great pleasure to work together with Amelia Polönia at the Universidade do Porto in Portugal and Catherine Richardson at the University of Kent in the UK. The other two universities forming part of this international collaboration were Freie Universität Berlin and Charles University of Prague. The way this book is structured is twofold. It investigates practical knowledge in a general sense across early modern Europe, and alongside this, it contains a case study of technological knowledge of art in early modern Europe. Both parts consist of three symmetrical chapters: the first chapter of each respective part investigates the origin or genesis of practical knowledge; the second chapter the transmission dynamics; and the third chapter assesses the consumers and con-sumption of practical knowledge.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The topic of this book is practical knowledge in early modern Europe, interpreted widely as recipes containing art procedures or medical panaceas between 1400 and 1700. In this book, the 1) origin or creation, 2) transmission or dissemination, and 3) use or consumption are key subjects for understanding the place of practical knowledge in early modern European society. After a historiographical and theoretical approach, this book applies Deleuze and Guattari's rhizome metaphor to art technological literature. The first part ends with a study about medical practitioners and mediators who disseminate practical knowledge through the printing press. The second part of the book is entirely dedicated to the booklet A Very Proper Treatise (1573), using a microhistory approach to study it.; Dissertationsschrift.…
