Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The article discusses the miscellanies of Erasmus Francisci, one of the most prominent and commercially successful authors of "curious" literature in late 17th century Germany. In particular, it traces the two mutual mechanisms or principles that guide his mediating of knowledge: 'Unterhaltung' and conversation. Both contributed to the functionality of Francisci's textual collections that edited and popularized learned knowledge to a wider audience.
