The transfer of expert knowledge to an unlearned audience is a highly complex process. It is not only dependant on subject-specific requirements, but also on institutional and media requirements. The early modern period proves to be a time of upheaval due to book printing, during which transfer processes can be studied in a special way. The adaptation of scientific knowledge, for example of law, medicine, theology or artes , to the reception conditions of laypersons requires differentiated communication strategies that link theoretical concepts of the sciences to the requirements of technical expertise and are able to translate scholarship into practice. This volume brings together interdisciplinary contributions from the history of law, historical book studies, general rhetoric and Germanic medieval studies.

Er unterliegt nicht nur fachspezifischen Anforderungen, sondern auch institutionellen und medialen Voraussetzungen. Die Frühe Neuzeit erweist sich aufgrund des Buchdrucks als eine Umbruchzeit, an der sich Transferprozesse in besonderer Weise studieren lassen. Die Anpassung fach- wissenschaftlicher Kenntnisse, etwa des Rechts, der Medizin, der Theologie oder der Artes, an die Rezeptionsbedingungen von Laien erfordert differenzierte Kommunikationsstrategien, die theoretische Konzepte der Wissenschaften an die Erfordernisse handwerklicher Expertise anbinden und Gelehrsamkeit in Praxis zu überführen in der Lage sind. Der Band versammelt interdisziplinäre Beiträge aus der Rechtsgeschichte, der historischen Buchwissenschaft, der Allgemeinen Rhetorik und germanistischen Mediävistik.
