Merchants of Knowledge: Intellectual Exchange in the Ottoman Empire and Renaissance Europe - Stanford Ottoman World Series: Critical Studies in Empire, Nature, and Knowledge
Morrison, Robert G., PhD
With this book, Robert Morrison is the first to track the network of scholars who mediated exchanges in astronomy, astrology, Qabbalah, and philosophy. Their books, manuscripts, and acts of translation all held economic value, thus commercial and intellectual exchange commingled—knowledge became transactional as these merchants exchanged texts for more intellectual material and social capital.
