STEP - Science and Technology in the European Periphery

Journal of Early Modern Studies is seeking contributions for a special issue (Spring 2014)

Instruments & arts of inquiry: natural history, natural magic and the production of knowledge in early modern Europe

Editors: Dana Jalobeanu & Cesare Pastorino

Deadline 1 October 2013

We seek papers exploring the intersections between the disciplines of natural history, natural magic and the books of secrets tradition in the early modern period. We are particularly interested in the various ways in which texts and practices in the tradition of natural magic and the books of secrets were absorbed, transformed and integrated in the renovated natural histories of the seventeenth century.
