Vom System zur Ordnung. Bemerkungen zu Bewertungen von Sachkatalogen vornehmlich im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert

What is it about?

It argues that the applcation of the systematic order of books in eighteenth-century libraries was part and parcel of a wider perception of the world as a well-ordered system.
