Recenzii

"The essays in Collecting Across Cultures offer a fascinating new perspective on Europe's encounters with an ethnically and culturally diverse early modern world... Collections and the objects within them are thus themselves imaginatively reconceptualized as sites of encounter and exchange."-British Journal for the History of Science
