The workshop was a part of the three scholarly meetings in Aberdeen, Uppsala and Prague financed by the AHRC grant. Anglophone scholarship has overwhelmingly privileged the history of correspondence in early modern Europe at the expense of knowledge-making (and sharing) across Northern and Baltic locations. The workshop responded to this gap, with the primary aim of drawing a new map across Northern European centres of learning. The objective was twofold. Firstly, the network emphasises the impact of academic mobility through the early modern migration of people and ideas, identifying, for the first time, an epistemic unity from the Baltic to Central Europe which linked geographical areas that might otherwise seem separate. Secondly, this focus fosters closer, interdisciplinary work on collections of early modern knowledge that have been hitherto marginalised within Anglophone scholarship. The network transcends national and disciplinary boundaries by bringing together intellectual historians, historians of science, literary scholars, linguists, and curators, from the UK, continental Europe, and North America. The Prague workshop focused on intellectual exchanges, dissemination of cosmological ideas, spread of botanical knowledge, linguistic knowledge and Linnean taxonomy.
