Bücher der Reihe The Early Modern Americas

Based on intensive archival research and the unique visual data of more than a thousand extraordinary watercolors, The Bishop's Utopia seamlessly weaves cultural history, natural history, art, and imperial politics into a cinematic retelling of the life of Spanish Bishop Baltasar Jaime Martinez Companon and northern Peru in the 1780s.

Authored by historians, art historians, and historians of science working in the United States, Europe, and South America, each of the fourteen essays in Collecting Across Cultures explores a specific aspect of the history of collecting, collections, or collectors in the early modern period.
