• Introduction: Prague - An Urban Cosmos Part I: A Shared Cosmos 1: Natural Matter 2: A Matter of Kinship 3: A Cosmos in the Making Part II: The Cosmos and Confessions 4: The Clockmaker's Cosmos 5: Fracturing Universal Christianity 6: Domesticating the Baroque Conclusion

Ivanic's monograph is an important and revitalizing contribution to the study of material culture in early modern (East) Central Europe. After a long period of scepticism in 1he scholarship of the post linguistic turn towards supposedly less narrative and more object orientcd historical sources, such as inventories, lists and catalogues, Suzanna Ivanic succeeds in rehabilitating the study of this underestimated archival material. Moreover, she situates that material within cutting edge academic discussions and reveals inspiring ways to explore the sources against the grain, raising valuable new questions.
