Ebook: Experten, Wissen, Symbole: Performanz und Medialität vormoderner Wissenskulturen

Knowledge has its theatrical side, especially when it relates to the specialized knowledge of experts.

This volume is devoted to understanding the nature of such staging of knowledge during premodernity between the 12^th and the 18^th centuries.
