Cultures of Knowledge in the Early Modern World "Jacob Soll traces the origins of Enlightenment criticism to the practices of learned humanists and hard-pressed literary entrepreneurs. This learned and lively book is also a tour de force of historical research and interpretation." -Anthony Grafton, author of Cardano's Cosmos and Commerce with the Classics
