X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>Part of the Early Modern Research Cluster<
 /p><p>Abstract:</p><p>Between 1765 and 1771\, German botanist\, entomologis
 t\, mycologist and theologian Jacob Christian Schäffer undertakes a series 
 of minutely recorded experiments on producing paper from materials other th
 an cotton and linen: wood chips\, grapevines\, poplar seeds\, wasp nests an
 d moss. Schäffer’s work comes in the wake of earlier eighteenth century tre
 atments of the topic\, but significantly differs from these in its methodic
 al approach\, creative applications and concrete results. My talk will cons
 ider Schäffer’s overall contribution to a more subtly differentiated unders
 tanding of the history of eighteenth-century paper-production in the Europe
 an context\, and the rise of a new discourse on paper as a subject of techn
 ology and academic cameralism</p><hr /><p><b> About the Presenter</b><br />
