Reviews

this volume provides highly valuable insights into recurrent problems of terminological, conceptual, and material adequacy in the intercultural (trans)formation of scientific knowledge in early modern Europe. Stefanie Stockhorst, University of Potsdam. In: Isis, Vol. 110, No. 2 (June 2019), pp. 411-412. This collection of essays is of interest not only to those working on early modern translations into the vernacular but also to scholars of the history of philosophy, applied technologies, the history of the book, and that of readership. [...] this is a volume that presents a wealth of new discoveries and offers fresh insights where the articles discuss better-known topics. Evelien Chayes, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen. Vol. 72, No. 3 (Fall 2019), pp. 1046-1048.
