Princeton, New Jersey: Markus Wiener Publishers, 2019. Book. As New. Hardcover. First Edition Thus. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Hardcover, blue pictorial boards lettered in red, no dust-jacket [as issued?]. 140 pages. Bibliographical References, Index of Names. Illustrated throughout in black and white. Translated from the German by Allison Brown. First American edition. The author posits herein that the fashion, begun among European aristocracy during the 16th century, to collect and display natural and artistic curiosities in cabinets and or specifically designated rooms [Kunstkammer] created in effect, the nascent museums which provided physical stimulus to the intellectual underpinnings of scientific curiosity which ushered in the modern world. His more radical hypothesis suggests that "baroque Kunstkrammer is also the nucleus of modern cyberspace." No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh, unmarked and like new copy. As new. .
