      abstract = {This open access volume focuses on the cultural background  of the pivotal transformations of scientific knowledge in  the early modern period. It investigates the rich edition  history of Johannes de Sacrobosco’s Tractatus de sphaera,  by far the most widely disseminated textbook on geocentric  cosmology, from the unique standpoint of the many printers,  publishers, and booksellers who steered this text from  manuscript to print culture, and in doing so transformed it  into an established platform of scientific learning. The  corpus, constituted of 359 different editions featuring  Sacrobosco’s treatise on cosmology and astronomy printed  between 1472 and 1650, represents the scientific European  shared knowledge concerned with the cosmological worldview  of the early modern period until far after the publication  of Copernicus’ De revolutionibus orbium coelestium in 1543.  The contributions to this volume show how the academic book  trade influenced the process of homogenization of  scientific knowledge. They also describe the material  infrastructure through which such knowledge was  disseminated, and thus define the premises for the  foundation of modern scientific communities.},
