This interdisciplinary volume uses four hundred years of Dutch history as a laboratory to investigate spatialized understandings of the history of knowledge. By conceptualizing locations of knowing as time-specific configurations of actors, artefacts, and activities, contributors to this volume not only examine cities as specific kind of locations, but also analyze the regionally and globally networked and transformative character of locations. Many of the locations which are studied in this volume are still visible until the present day.      Contributors are Azadeh Achbari, Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis, Alette Fleischer, Floor Haalboom, Marijn Hollestelle, Dirk van Miert, Ilja Nieuwland, Abel Streefland, Andreas Weber, Martin Weiss, Gerhard Wiesenfeldt, and Huib Zuidervaart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables  Notes on Contributors    1 The Netherlands as a Laboratory of Knowing: Introduction to Locations of Knowledge in Dutch Contexts   Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis and Andreas Weber    Part 1: Cities  2 Science in the Theatre of Towns   Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis    3 The ‘Duytsche Mathematique’ and Leiden Family Networks, 1600–1620   Gerhard Wiesenfeldt    4 The Middelburg Theatrum Anatomicum: A Location of Knowledge and Culture in an Early Urban Context   Huib J.
