Summary: This book studies the phenomenon of "cultural transfer" via a gallery of case studies from Europe's early modernity. Perhaps its most original feature is to relate the European phenomenon to events in Europe's "East" (Central Europe) and developing practices of European Orientalism in the Middle East and India.
