Reviews

In this highly anticipated book, Donato and Lusebrink take a multifaceted approach to the transnational mobility, adaptation, and repurposing of encyclopedic texts in the long eighteenth century. By exploring the work behind a great number of encyclopedic compilations coded as 'translations, ' the thirteen essays offer new, rich, eye-opening perspectives on the translator's role in transforming and transmitting knowledge across linguistic and national borders in the Enlightenment era. - Linn Holmberg, Researcher and Teacher in History of Science and Ideas, Stockholm University This collection of case studies traces the mechanisms and networks of the production, translation, and dissemination of knowledge in early modern Europe and, at the same time, sheds light on the economy of knowledge itself. The volume offers a fresh and insightful look at encyclopedism before the age of Wikipedia, reminding the reader of forgotten lessons. - Andreas Motsch, Associate Professor of French, University of Toronto
