How did the Other fare in other languages, when Cabeza’s Relación of colonial Americas appeared in translations? How did Altdorf emblems travel to colonial America and Sweden? What does Virtue look like in a library collection? And what was Boccaccio’s Decameron doing in the Ethica section? From representations of Sophie Charlotte, the first queen in Prussia, to the Ottoman Turks, from German wedding music to Till Eulenspiegel, from the translation of Horatian Odes and encyclopedias of heraldry, these essays by leading scholars explore the transmission, translation, and organization of knowledge in early modern Germany, contributing sophisticated insights to the history of the early modern book and its contents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Chloe has been conceived since 1984 as a book series of the journal Daphnis for in-depth interdisciplinary research on German literature and culture of the early modern period (14th-18th centuries). The series also deals with the relations of German literature to the European cultures of this period and phenomena of cultural transfer from a comparative perspective. The volumes, edited by renowned guest editors, explore thematically focused new fields of research, bundle the latest findings on important authors of the period and preserve the cultural heritage of this time through innovative renegotiations.”  - Ulrich Seelbach, University Bielefeld, Germany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents   List of Illustrations   Notes on Contributors      Introduction    Mara R.
