Athanasius Kircher's Theatre of the World

‘Magisterial ... a beautiful, absorbing and utterly wonderful book’–Times Higher Education

‘An enchanting compendium of curiosities ... a stupendously good piece of design. Every illustration is reproduced in exactly the right place; the captions are superbly apt and very clearly signalled; the sidebars are tactfully positioned and filled with exactly the right amount of information. The author and the publisher have taken real, prolonged, and exhaustive pains to make a beautiful book, and succeeded’– Philip Pullman, The Guardian
