Abstract

What was at stake when handwritten artifacts were examined through reproductions in the Eighteenth Century? What were the functions and limits of these reproductions? In this paper, I explore these questions by analyzing four different engravings from a gravestone discovered in 1770. Such a discovery sparked a public dispute, which was arbitrated by the director of the Royal Institute of Historical Sciences at the University of Göttingen, Johann Christoph Gatterer (1727-1799). Here I show that Early Modern printed artifacts are eloquent evidence of how knowledge was then (re)produced and transmitted.
