Although interest in this broad field of research has increased in the past decades, many varieties of title pages and a great deal of printers and books remain as yet unstudied. The fifteen essays collected in this volume tackle this field with a great variety of academic approaches, asking how the images can be interpreted, how the texts and contexts shape their interpretation, and how they in turn shape the understanding of the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations  Notes on the Editors  Notes on the Contributors    1 Gateways to the Books: Early Modern Frontispieces – Introduction   Gitta Bertram, Nils Büttner and Claus Zittel    PART 1: The Culture of the Frontispiece  2 Considerations on the History and the Analysis of Illustrated Title Pages   Gitta Bertram    3 Minerva in the Printshop: Publisher’s Advertising in Frontispieces and the Media Presence of Early Modern Printer-Publishers   Lea Hagedorn    4 The Frontispiece Portrait and Its Critics: Visual and Verbal Tactics for Undermining the Social Productivity of Printed Portraits in Early Modern Scholarly Culture   Hole Rößler    PART 2: The Frontispiece between Art and Science  5 The Poetological Frontispiece in 17th-Century German Poetry   Claus Zittel    6 Lady Music, Pythagoras, Apollo \u0026amp; Co.: Frontispieces and Title Woodcuts in Music Theory Prints and Musical Textbooks around 1500   Fabian Kolb    7 Visualising the Constitution of Art: Frontispieces in “Kunstliteratur” in the Early Modern Period   Constanze Keilholz    8 When Mars Meets Euclid: The Relationship between War and Mathematical Sciences in Frontispieces of Fortification Treatises   Delphine Schreuder    9 Travels towards Humankind’s Salvation, Travels through Nature Enlightened by Science: Frontispieces on Africa and the Levant, 17th–18th Centuries   Cornel Zwierlein    PART 3: Case Studies  10 A Moralistic Journey: The Tabula Cebes as an Architectural and Spatial Allegory in Sixteenth-Century Basel   Miranda L.
