Zusammenfassung

"Tintenfass und Teleskope is a valuable book not only because of its new insights (the reception of Galileo's discoveries in Northern Europe, for example, is often overlooked by historians) but also because it successfully brings together different historians' approaches and competencies under the sign of interdisciplinarity, a more than welcome achievement for history of science [...]."
