It describes the functions of these objects as ambiguous and polyvalent carriers of knowledge, and analyzes the ways in which networks of scholars, craftsmen, mathematicians, anatomy professors or merchants active in the Low Countries attributed new meanings to them. The book treats of a period in which cities like Antwerp and Amsterdam were nodal points in the international exchange of goods, news, and skills. 410 $aLow Countries Studies on the Circulation of Natural Knowledge 606 $aHumanities$2bicssc 610 $aHistory 615 7$aHumanities 700 $aDupré$b Sven$01301156 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910637801203321 996 $aSilent Messengers$93025737 997 $aUNINA
