(...) Taken as a formal aid to confine the period of time and
social group the notion 'Republic of Letters' is very helpful to
allude to the learned as a main group and actors in all the
research papers. The papers (...) reveal, throught example,
individuall diverse and highly complex interconnectivities,
qualities that would be lost in a mere collection of data
